Winehouse: 'I didn't fire my band'

Amy Winehouse has denied that she has fired her backing band following her performance at the Rock In Rio event in Lisbon.

The 'Rehab' singer arrived 35 minutes late for the gig and struggled through her set, claiming to be suffering from a sore throat.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Winehouse quashed rumours that she had fired her backing group.

"I was really upset that anyone would suggest that I would act that way to my band," she said. "My band are my family and I did not 'scream' at my horn players and would never be 'sick of the sight of them'.

"We have been through a lot together and I would never lose my temper in that way with them."
