Seen on her way to London's HMP Pentonville prison to visit husband Blake Fielder-Civil who is being held there after being accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, 24-year-old Amy looks as if she is struggling to keep it together.

Winehouse pulled a series of VERY strange facial expressions, seemingly unable to hide her contempt at the media circus following her every move.

Redemption song: Amy managed to redeem herself in front of fans at her London show last night, putting on a fine 'almost note-perfect' peformance

The increasingly troubled singer, who has previously admitted to a heroin addiction and once collapsed after a drugs overdose, has been provoking concern lately after a string of incidents have caused her career to spiral into crisis.

Once hailed as the most important female artist of her generation, Amy has made a mess of her UK tour so far, performing a shambolic gig in Birmingham last week, where she forgot her words, fell over and swore at the audience.

At a most recent gig, she arrived 40 minutes late on stage, rambled incoherently and disappeared off-stage repeatedly.

However, last night's show at London's Brixton Academy proved something of a redemptive appearance for the troubled singer. As a review of the show pronounced her almost note-perfect and in fine form. Scroll down for more...

Visitor: the singer was on her way to visit her husband Blake in jail

But Amy's troubles are never far from her, even while performing, and she told the audience at her Blackpool gig that she dearly loved her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

She said she had missed his prison phone call that night and added: "He would have loved to have been here. I spoke to him last night but I can only call either before or after EastEnders."

Babyshambles frontman, Pete Doherty has spoken out in defence of Amy, insisting her husband's absence is to blame for the star's behaviour.

Aggression: Amy can't seem to control her anger

Doherty said: "I speak to Amy almost every day. She just wants her man back for Christmas. They are desperately in love.

"One good thing is that Blake has got clean since he has been in prison. It's been quite an awakening.

"They are going to lose each other if it carries on. Love, music and melody is the way forward."
