The 24-year-old, whose battle against drug addiction has
overshadowed her recording successes, had been due to appear at
the Rock En Seine festival in Paris.
"Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the
Rock En Seine show in Paris due to illness," her spokesman said
in a statement late on Friday.
"She was taken ill at her house and wasn't able to travel
to France for the concert."
During the last three months Winehouse has twice been
rushed to hospital, most recently after suffering a reaction to
her medication.
Her father has said Winehouse is suffering from the lung
disease emphysema.
Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was jailed
recently after pleading guilty to beating up a pub landlord in
2006 and conspiring to cover up the crime.
The singer is due to appear at the Bestival festival on the
Isle of Wight next weekend.
