Amy Winehouse is facing legal action after pulling out of a concert in Paris hours before she was due to headline it.
The troubled singer failed to show up at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris after she was taken ill at her house in London and was unable to travel to France.
A statement posted on the festival website said organisers had decided to start legal proceedings against her because of the circumstances of her cancellation.
The statement said: "We were told by (Winehouse's) agent at 8pm that she would not be there, and we were forced to cancel the performance. We have still not been given any explanation of the exact reasons for her absence."
Organisers said the singer's musicians had arrived on Thursday and rehearsed the show on Friday morning.
Winehouse had been due to arrive at the venue - the Saint Cloud park just outside Paris - to top a bill that included the Raconteurs, The Streets and Kate Nash.
