    Amy Winehouse was booed by members of the audience after arriving onstage late for her performance at the V Festival in Staffordshire tonight (August 16th).

    The singer, who missed last year’s event following a suspected drug overdose, was delayed en route to the festival, leaving her band members to fill a lengthy twenty minute pause.

    But when Winehouse finally took to the stage dressed in a black and white chequered top and cut-off jeans, she managed to win the crowd over with a set that pulled songs from her two albums.

    Notable standout songs included ‘Tears Dry On their Own’ and ‘Back to Black’, the title track of the singer’s second album.

    As rain continued to fall in Staffordshire, Winehouse once again drew boos when she dedicated ‘Wake Up Alone’ to her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.

    Fielder-Civil is currently serving a 27-month prison sentence for assault and perverting the course of justice.

    Winehouse’s reduced set ended with a powerful version of 'Rehab' and her cover of the Zutons’ hit ‘Valerie’.

    You can see pictures of the singer performing in Staffordshire below.

    • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
