Amy Winehouse Will Make A LIVE Comeback
The singer - who has not performed in front of an audience since last September - will join Keane, Paul Weller, The Fratellis, and Cat Stevens among others to play a series of shows to mark the 50th anniversary of Island Records.
The gigs, staged at London Shepherds Bush Empire this May, will be billed as Island Life and will see the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, Ladyhawke and I Blame Coco playing support slots at the dates.
An exhibition of photos, memorabilia and artwork will run in conjunction with the dates. The Island 50 exhibition will run from May 22 to June 17 at The Vinyl Factory on London's Poland Street, showcasing items from various eras of the label's history.
A book, 'Keep On Running – The Story Of Island Records', edited by Chris Salewicz, will be released on May 21.
Tickets for the Shepherd's Bush Empire gigs go on general sale on Friday (March 13) at 9am (GMT).
The Island Life shows are:
Sly And Robbie, The Compass Point Allstars (May 26)
The Fratellis, Bombay Bicycle Club (27)
