LONDON (AP) - A spokesman for Amy Winehouse says the singer
won't perform in the United States next month, as had been planned.
Spokesman Chris Goodman said Monday that Winehouse isn't going
to the Coachella festival in Indio, California in "light of
current legal issues."
Winehouse was charged with assault last week for allegedly
attacking a fan at a London party in September. The singer is due
in court next week.
Being charged with a crime often makes it difficult for people
to get U.S. visas.
Winehouse's battles with addiction and frequent run-ins with the
law have been highly publicized.
Last year, the U.S. government declined to give her a visa to
attend the Grammy awards. The decision was reversed but too late
for her to go.
