Amy Axes US Tour

Amy Winehouse has cancelled a string of US gigs after her recent drugs overdose.

Her publicist revealed doctors have ordered Winehouse-who is currently in rehab- to rest and so she has pulled September shows in Canada and the States.

At MTV were currently unsure if this includes her VMA performance, but will let you know as soon as we do.

The Back To Black singer has a full UK Tour lined up for October and November with her spokesperson saying these gigs would not be affected.
