Amy Winehouse lived up to her boozy name at what was billed as her comeback gig on Tuesday (July 17): the "Rehab" singer once again disappointed fans with erratic behaviour and a piss poor performance.

The singer hadn't hit the stage in a month after coming down with a convenient case of "exhaustion," which oddly didn't stop her from popping up in pubs. When she hit the stage Tuesday, hopes were high that the soulfully voiced crooner would be on the mend after a nasty spat of cancelled shows, but, alas, Winehouse was up to her old tricks. The singer left the stage after playing just two songs, then returned only to start hitting herself repeatedly in the head with her hands and microphone, NME reports. Forgetting some of her lyrics, the swollen-livered singer mumbled swears, then topped the whole performance in the classiest of all possible ways: she spat on the crowd of fans.

According to NME, Winehouse had been given two bottles of Champaign, two bottles of Jack Daniels and two bottles of red wine in her rider. Maybe it really is time to go to rehab, Amy?
