Last update - 13:30 29/06/2008 VIDEO: Amy Winehouse's explosive performance at Glastonbury By Haaretz Service Tags: amy winehouse, glastonbury  Controversy continued to plague singer Amy Winehouse on Saturday, after she apparently threw a punch at an audience member during her performance at the Glastonbury music festival over the weekend. While wrapping up her hour-long set with the hit "Rehab," Winehouse climbed off the Pyramid stage, got closer to the crowd and mingled with some fans. At one point, the singer appears to elbow, and then punch, an unidentified concertgoer, after which security personnel who were following the singer ushered Winehouse away. Advertisement The troubled singer's representative told Sky News that a woman had grabbed her hair and Winehouse was trying to push her away. A number of media outlets reported that the scuffle was a bizarre ending to a gig that began with the singer in high spirits. "You don't even know how happy I am to be here tonight. I feel like they should make up a new word in the dictionary for happy, and have a picture of me there," Winehouse reportedly told the crowd before singing 'Tears Dry on Their Own.' But she later made disparaging remarks about rapper Jay-Z, who also performed at the festival, and Kanye West. Winehouse surprised fans on Friday when she appeared at the Hyde Park concert in honor of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday, just a short time after being released from the hospital. And last week, Winehouse's father, Mitch, told the Sunday Mirror that his daughter has early stage emphysema and that her lungs have been damaged by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes. The tabloid quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.
