In November 2007, the opening night of a 17-date tour was marred by booing and walkouts at the [[National Indoor Arena]] in [[Birmingham]]. An attendee quoted in a UK newspaper reported, "She came on stage half an hour late. She managed four songs but was slurring her words and swaying all over the place... She fell into the guitar stand and dropped the microphone -- it was atrocious. The song dedicated to her husband was so bad it was like swinging a cat round your head." The music critic for the Birmingham Mail newspaper said it was "one of the saddest nights of my life... I saw a supremely talented artist reduced to tears, stumbling around the stage and, unforgivably, swearing at the audience." <ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071115/wl_uk_afp/entertainmentbritainmusicpeoplewinehouse " Winehouse in the doghouse after 'atrocious' tour debut", Associated Press]</ref>
