Amy Winehouse Too Sick for Paris Gig

Here's a shocker: At the last minute, Amy Winehouse pulled out of a concert in Paris on Friday night because she was too sick to perform.

The trouble-stricken Brit, who's been hospitalized twice since June, was too ill to make the trip from her home in London to the City of Lights for the Rock En Seine festival.

Her spokesman Chris Goodman told People, "It's nothing serious. It's just a normal illness—she hasn't visited a hospital or anything like that. She's at home in bed, just unable to sing."

On the festival's official blog (in French), organizers say they weren't given an exact reason for her absence and that they may seek legal action.

The 24-year-old chanteuse is due to perform at next weekend's Bestival festival on England's Isle of Wight.

Ticket holders, don't hold your breath...
