LATEST: AMY WINEHOUSE's $2 million (GBP1 million) Russian gig was almost axed after the star allegedly failed to sober up for her performance.
The Back To Black singer was asked by Daria Zhukova, the girlfriend of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, to sing in front of a select group of art fans at The Garage gallery in Moscow, which Zhukova helped to set up.
But the exclusive one-hour performance on Thursday (12Jun08) night was almost cancelled after the Grammy award winner arrived from London "in no condition to appear," reports the New York Daily News.
A source tells the publication, Winehouse was in such an incoherent state, organisers discussed finding a last-minute replacement to sing at the event.
However, time constraints left them with little choice other than allowing the singer to take the stage as planned.
Winehouse's entourage then "spent two hours trying to pull her together," before she finally appeared in front of the expectant crowd.
The source adds, "I heard that her singing was a little sloppy. But she still put on a terrific show."
LATEST: Former BEATLE RINGO STARR is unfazed by the proposed demolition of his childhood home in Liverpool, England.
The rocker's former house in the city's Madryn Street is all set to be knocked down after officials at English Heritage decided against listing the building as a national treasure.
English Heritage executives argue the home has no real links to the Beatles, because Starr moved out of the property when he was a child.
But Starr insists he really isn't bothered about the campaign to save the property.
He tells U.S. talk show host Larry King, "I don't mind. They had a big campaign to save my house, the house I was born and lived in my first five years, and put it somewhere else. I never thought, you know, why would you put it somewhere else? This is where I was. They can do what they like. I am not going to stay awake. They want to save it, they don't want to save it; it's up to them."
