Amy Winehouse, right, the British soul singer, will perform via satellite for the 50th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday despite an unexpected reversal of the State Departmentâs rejection of her visa, her spokesman said Friday. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security issued a waiver that in effect overturned a decision by the United States Embassy in London to deny her visa request, according to an administration official. But the shift came too late for Ms. Winehouse, who recently entered a rehabilitation clinic after a video purporting to show her using drugs surfaced online, to prepare for a live performance in Los Angeles. Her spokesman, Chris Goodman, said, âUnfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be traveling to the U.S. to perform at the Grammys in person.â Ms. Winehouse, who is nominated in six categories, including album of the year for âBack to Black,â will join a long list of performers on the broadcast, which grew longer on Friday with the announcement that Kanye West, whose eight nominations are the most for anyone, will take the stage at the ceremony. John Mayer and Bebe Winans will also perform on the live CBS broadcast. Organizers previously announced a lineup including BeyoncÃ©, Rihanna, Kid Rock and the Foo Fighters.
