Looks like Amy Winehouse is giving up crack in favor of Jack. Daniels, that is. The wastoid singer is set to perform at the Bestival Festival in Britain this weekend, and in preparation for her performance has requested the delivery of 48 bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey. Because she’s decided to give her lungs a break and work instead on destroying her liver.
HAGGARD AMY WINEHOUSE sparked new fears for her health last night after she ordered in a staggering 48 bottles of Jack Daniel’s for a weekend gig.
Recovering junkie Amy stunned Bestival organisers with her demand for two crates of the 40 per cent spirit.The hard-living Back to Black singer, 24, has a history of axing gigs at the last minute, and faces legal action after pulling out of a Paris concert just hours before she was due to headline last Friday.
Now organisers of the three-day Bestival event on the Isle of Wight fear she will either back out of her show tomorrow night — or turn up in no fit state to perform.
A Bestival source said last night: “It’s common for artists to make requests for food and beverages before they arrive.
“But organisers have heard Miss Winehouse has ordered in an extremely large amount of Jack Daniel’s, in fact, a ridiculous amount that she and her team could not possibly consume during their short stay.
“Everyone is really excited about getting Amy to perform here, and naturally there are now fears she is planning something wild.
“With Amy’s record this can mean failure to perform or giving a shambolic performance. Whiskey is better than heroin — but not 48 bottles of the stuff.”
When Amy performed at a Dublin festival in July, she demanded two bottles of red wine, a bottle each of vodka and brandy, a case of beer and 40 cigs.
Late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham died of alcohol poisoning and drank about 40 shots of vodka in one night. It looks like Amy is trying to top that this weekend. I’m totally mystified as to how she is still walking around alive. Equally frustrating is the fact that she keeps getting gigs- it seems like promoters at these festivals are more interested in Amy’s next chapter of crazy antics and the press it will bring to their event than her well being, or even her ability to give a decent concert. She’s become a one-woman sideshow. I’m sure we’ll see some wacked out footage of Amy after the weekend is over – that is, if she shows up.

48 bottles of JACK on the wall, 48 bottles of JACK, if one of them gets to empty before dawn, there will be another 48 bottles of JACK on the wall. 😀
Perhaps she intends to throw them into the crowd
“Recovering junkie” my ass.
Maybe she’s having 150 friends over for an intimate evening of boozing?
well Jack was the only thing she could legally ask for.. Its not like she could request a pound of heroin, crack or weed.
but if she drinks enough jack she can still pretend its narcotics.
duda, I think she’ll probably be bringing her stash with her. All she needs is something to wash it down with.
She looks so good in that top pic. Shame it’s a mirage. *sigh*
They tried to make me quit Jack
But I said -No, no no.
geronimo, she might look good in the header picture (that is, in comparison to her “usual” way of looking/appearing still alive), but I do wonder how much make-up they splashed on her face and how much fake hair they had to add (I somehow believe they gave her a handfull of her favourite “candy” in order to keep her drugged out long enough to make her look that well)…
i was listening to her CD “frank” last night and the cover photos of her were amazing – fresh, pretty, healthy, and her voice was so smooth. sad what she has become.
I know, Bellatrix, I’m in denial too! 😛
I’m choosing to live with my imaginary version of her as the reality is way too painful.
I was going to make a joke about how I hoped they were little airplane mini-bottles, but even drinking ten of those little things will give you alcohol poisoning.
Jesus, Amy, get it together. This stopped being funny a while ago.
“48 Bottles of Jack on the Wall, 48 Rocks of Crack, If Amy Winehouse should Happen to Fall, Give the Paparazzi a Call!”
She has beautiful eyes. Just beautiful. Shame she’ll be dead soon 🙁
So what did she drink for the rest of that hour then?
It is with cruel irony that this article was preceded with one concerning Winehouse’s brain damage. Guess we can add, “Now Winehouse has liver damage.”
I’m afraid this will be the result:

Did she order any provisions for after her set?
I can’t believe she’s only 24. 😯
