London, Oct 16 (ANI): Amy Winehouse kicked off her 27-date tour in Germany on October 15 by tripping and staggering on stage.

The event at Berlin's Tempodrom was marked with weird behaviours that have become a regular feature of her shows.

She twitched, coughed and rubbed her face awkwardly, but eventually gave a brilliant performance to prove that she is definitely one of Britain's sensational young talent.

However, much to her tour team's dismay, the singer's hubby Blake Fielder-Civil showed up at the event, triggering worries that he would bring unwelcome distractions.

"I hoped Blake wouldn't come today but he has and there's nothing we can do about it. Something has to give but she has to make that decision herself. For now we just have to deal with it," the Sun quoted one source, as saying.

The 24-year-old will move from Germany to Amsterdam, Paris, Glasgow, back to London, then to Dublin and Cardiff before brining down curtains in Manchester on December 13. (ANI)
