Amy Winehouse has reportedly delayed the release of her next album after cancelling recording sessions in the Bahamas.
The troubled singer was set to fly out to the islands at the expense of her record label to work with producer Salaam Remi.
A source told The Sun: "Island wanted to get her away from it all and thought it would be great surroundings for her.
“It was a very expensive trip and it was hoped they would make some decent progress recording the album.
“But Amy pulled out at the last minute. The album was planned for late 2008, but her label is now privately admitting it's unlikely to happen until 2009.
"She's not the kind of artist you can just stick in the studio for a month and get an album done. And I now think early 2009 would be a good result."
