Amy Winehouse’s dad refuses to let her perform at The Grammy Awards

Amy WinehouseThis year's Grammy Awards are set to by Amy Winehouse's big comeback - but not if her father Mitch gets his way.

The 57-year-old taxi driver reckons the pressure of the huge American gig could send his troubled daughter straight back to drugs.

The 'Rehab' songstress, 24, has been nominated for six categories this year and was using next month's prestigious ceremony in LA as a target for getting out of rehab. But worried Mitch says: "I'm not sure the Grammys are going to happen. I don't want her to go - I think it might be a bit too soon for her.

"She's not well - that's why she's in rehab. But she's doing OK. She is getting good treatment."

Which is more than Mitch has been getting from Blake Fielder-Civil's mom, Georgette.

Amy's mother-in-law sparked another family feud by accusing Mitch of taking money from his daughter.

"He's furious. And he's afraid the rows will set back Amy's recovery," a source said.

"There are many things that Mitch could say about Blake's family but he doesn't feel it's right to talk about them in that way. He just wants people to give Amy the space to recover."
