It was technically a 'work' trip when Amy Winehouse was booked to perform five comeback gigs in Brazil. But after spending her free time relaxing by the pool and getting some much needed sunshine, the singer looked glowing as she arrived back in London yesterday. Now drug-free for over a year, the soul singer looked glam in a patterned dress and brown cardigan - and of course her signature ballet shoes - as she walked through Heathrow's arrivals hall. Looking good: Amy Winehouse looks healthier than she has done in years as she arrives back in London from Brazil The low-cut dress gave onlookers an eyeful of her 32D cleavage following a £35,000 boob job in October 2009. Over the past two weeks, she has been staying at the £700-per-night Santa Teresa hotel in Rio De Janeiro - a base for her five gigs in the South American country. It's rumoured that as well as being happy that she's finally back playing live, she is apparently pocketing a

The trademark ballet slippers, eyeliner and bouffant hair are still there. Regulars at Amy Winehouse's old Camden haunts may not have recognised her though, when she paid a visit to her favourite stomping ground last night. The singer looked like a different person - healthy and happy - as she enjoyed a night out in north London. Night on the town: Amy Winehouse showed up to her old Camden haunts the Hawley Arms and Proud Gallery last night Amy stopped by The Hawley Arms before heading to Proud Gallery, where she stayed until three in the morning.

A friend of Amy Winehouse conceded after she drank herself to death on Saturday that, yes she had her problems, but ‘she never did anyone any harm’. If only that were true. The packets of cigarettes and bottles of vodka, beer and rum left outside her home in Camden, North London, by adoring fans bear testimony to how much she affected vulnerable young people. Along with flowers and farewell notes, this was their way of saying goodbye to a woman they worshipped and emulated — not just because she was a musical genius, but also, I suspect, because of her car-crash lifestyle. How tragic that her fans think a bottle of Smirnoff is a fitting farewell to a woman they loved — for it was vodka that killed her. Or that a packet of cigarettes was an appropriate offering to leave at this shrine, given she suffered from emphysema, a smoking-related lung disease.   More...
