Amy Winehouse intent on playing UK festivals

AMY WINEHOUSE said she is planning to play some of the UK's high-profile festivals this year.

Her spokeswoman said she would definitely play at the V Festival and wants to confirm some others.

Winehouse has been on extended vacation in St. Lucia since December in an attempt to beat her drug addictions and get over her split from husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Earlier this month she took to the stage at the Caribbean island's St. Lucia Jazz Festival for her first performance in eight months - but was forced to abandon her set after a downpour.

Fans said later reported she was booed off for being drunk on stage and forgetting the words to her songs.

But the spokeswoman insisted the Rehab singer was back on form.

She said: "She intends to play some summer festivals, particularly the V Festival because her manager runs it."

But friends of the star are less confident of her return to the stage, with one pal telling Britain's Sunday Express, "She knocked the drugs on the head but replaced them with alcohol."
