Amy Granted Late US Visa

Amy Winehouse has been granted a US visa, but will not perform live at the Grammys.

The singer had previously been denied entry to the US and had made plans to perform at the awards ceremony on Sunday via a satellite link from London.

In a statement, her people said: "Following further discussions involving the US Embassy in London and officials in the United States, Amy Winehouse has been granted a visa to enter the United States of America."

"Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be travelling to the US to perform at the Grammys in person. However, she will be performing via satellite broadcast as previously announced."

On Friday she checked out of the Capio Nightingale clinic in north London, where she had been since January 24, to rehearse for her performance.
