Amy Winehouse made quite a splash in her first full UK show in over seven months by throwing a punch at a fan in the front row. Don't let her slim figure fool you, the troubled singer packs quite a punch!
Winehouse performed for about an hour in front of 80,000 fans at the Glastonbury Festival. Fittingly, she was singing her famous tune "Rehab," when she stepped down into the pit between the outdoor stage and the audience and ended up lashing out at one of the fans. She was instantly escorted back to the main stage by security staff and went on with the show.
According to festival organizer Michael Eavis, Winehouse lashed out because someone grabbed her breasts.
