Winehouse Too Messed Up for 007 Tune?

Posted May 3, 08 4:01 PM CDT in Arts & Living,  Gossip 

(Newser) – Drug-addled Amy Winehouse won’t be crooning James Bond's next theme song because, her producer says, she is too troubled to make music. Mark Ronson said they started work on the track but he grew tired of her erratic behavior, the Sun reports. A Winehouse spokesman blames a creative spat for the song stoppage.

The song won’t materialize “unless by some miracle of science it gets recorded and someone sings a vocal,” Ronson said. “I’m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet.”
