FUN FACTS:
Winehouse has a number of “old school” tattoos of naked women on her body. When asked about them, she was quoted as saying “I like pin-up girls. I’m more of a boy than a girl. I’m not a lesbian, though — not before a sambuca anyway.”
WHAT TO EXPECT:

The good news is that although her affair with liquor is front and center live, the music never suffers. Winehouse is a gifted pop singer and despite her personal struggles - her talent always shines through.
