Amy Winehouse Questioned over Drug Video and Denied Visa to Attend Grammy's
Amy Winehouse was questioned on Tuesday about the video in which she was smoking crack. Winehouse was not arrested and no charges were filed, but London
police said that "inquires into the matter are continuing." The police visited Winehouse in the rehab facility where she's currently seeking treatment.
Last month, The Sun tabloid ran still images from a video that showed the jazz-pop diva inhaling fumes from a small pipe. The images were said to have been filmed during a party at Winehouse's London home. The Sun handed the video over to London police.
On Wednesday, London's Metropolitan Police said detectives interviewed a 24-year-old woman the previous day over allegations of drug possession. It is policy not to name suspects who have not been charged but an officer read out the statement in response to a request for information about Winehouse.
Yesterday, her publicist issued this statement, "The singer has been invited to appear at the event on Sunday after
receiving an amazing six nominations for the prestigious awards." "Unfortunately, her
application for a visa to enter the United States of America has been
rejected at this time by the American Embassy in London."
"Amy
has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two
weeks ago, and although disappointed with the decision, has accepted
the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery," the statement
continues. "Amy has been treated well and fairly by the Embassy staff
and thanks everyone for their support in trying to make this happen.
There will of course be other opportunities and she very much looks
forward to visiting America in the near future."
