Amy Winehouse Loves St. Lucia Named in her Honor

Hollywood Gossip: Amy Winehouse Loves St. Lucia Named in her Honor

She’s spent the majority of the last six months on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, and earlier this week Amy Winehouse spoke out to thank the people of the island for their love.

She said, “It is an honor to play the St Lucia jazz festival this year. Since I first came to the island, I have been greeted with nothing but kindness and friendship, as well as incredible music and the most beautiful of settings.

Amy continued, “I have made friends for life and have been inspired by my surroundings. The laid-back lifestyle definitely suits me, it’s a home from home with great beaches. It also is an honor for me to appear on the same bill as great singers such as Chaka Khan and Patti LaBelle as well great jazz musicians like Monty Alexander and George Duke.”

And it sounds like the people of St. Lucia share a mutual love for the “You Know I’m No Good” singer- so much so that they’re opening a night club in her honor.

According to a report, the new joint, named “Rehab” will be up and running in time for the summer. “Work is proceeding at full pelt,” a source said. “The team behind the project couldn’t resist naming the place in tribute to St Lucia’s biggest fan.”

Unfortunately it sounds like Miss Winehouse may be up to her old tricks again. An insider revealed, “Amy spends all her time boozing the days and nights away. Following her hospital visit she’s done no rehearsing for her comeback show despite knowing how important it is for fans and friends in St. Lucia.”
