Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year's Grammy Awards because her request for a visa has been turned down by the U.S. Embassy, her publicist said Thursday.
"Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery," the Outside Organization, which counts the troubled retro-soul sensation among its clients, said in an e-mail.
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil ran into trouble in October when they were arrested in Bergen, Norway, on charges of marijuana possession. They were released after paying fines of $715 each.
Her lawyer later said Winehouse was appealing the fine because she didn't understand that under Norwegian law, accepting a fine is the same as pleading guilty, which could have serious consequences when she was seeking to enter the U.S.
The statement didn't say why her application had been rejected.
