(Bauer Griffin)more pics »Amy Winehouse spent more than six months on the island of St. Lucia last year trying to stay out of the spotlight, and now she's headed back to the Caribbean -- this time, to Jamaica. Still, her record label keeps warning her this is not a vacation.
Amy's fling with a man who was not her husband was cited in her divorce papers (Bauer Grififn)
A source told
The Sun newspaper: “She'll fly out next week. She is really excited about going back because she loves the Caribbean so much. But she's been told it's not a party. She has to work."
Amy, 26, previously took an extended break in St. Lucia from December 2008 to July last year and enjoyed herself so much that she even launched a residency bid to stay on the island permanently.
Amy, who was overcoming drug problems during her time on the island, had been asked to work on her much-delayed third album during her stay, but recordings failed to materialize and concerns were raised about Amy’s drinking after guests at the luxury resort she was staying at complained about her rowdy behavior.
Attempts to get her career back on track were disastrous, with her performance at the St. Lucia jazz festival in May stopping halfway through after she was booed by the crowd -- although the official reason given was adverse weather conditions.
It was also while Amy was in St Lucia that then-husband
Blake Fielder-Civil started a successful divorce bid, citing her infidelity after pictures of her canoodling with another man were published. Amy and Blake are believed to have since reconciled their romance.
