Amy Winehouse to Perform Live Via Satellite for 50th Annual Grammy Awards

World renowned and 6 time Grammy nominee Amy Winehouse will perform via satellite link-up to the 50th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 10.

Broadcast live from a London studio, Amy will make her hugely anticipated return to the stage.

Amy is nominated for an amazing 6 Grammy Awards at Sunday’s ceremony, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Female Performance for 'Rehab', Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Pop Vocal Album for Back to Black. This is unrivalled for a female British artist.

While she had hoped to join the star-studded line-up in person in Los Angeles, she is thrilled to have the chance to be a part of the show.

“I’m raring to go and really excited to be performing at my first Grammy Awards,” says Amy, “I’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of weeks. I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I appreciate that I'm being given a second chance via satellite. ”

To prepare for the performance, Amy will be leaving the rehabilitation clinic today where she has been a resident for 2 weeks. She is feeling great, looking healthy and looking forward to doing what she does best.

MALVERDE RELEASE HIS NEW ALBUM
"LA LEYENDA CONTINUA" (THE LEGEND CONTINUES)
NOW AVAILABLE IN-STORES AND ONLINE



Los Angeles, CA; February 05, 2008.- Malverde's eagerly-anticipated album "La Leyenda Continúa" hits stores today!

Recently, the music video for new single, "Mi Amor" (My Love), was shot just outside of the Coachella Valley area, located approximately 200 miles South of Los Angeles, California, where Malverde was raised. Daniel Hastings directed the clip, which showcases the beautiful and expansive Californian desert landscape Malverde enjoyed during his childhood. Besides shooting "Mi Amor" (My Love), 2 "bonus" music video clips were also shot; "Este Camino" (This Way) and "Hombres Perseguidos" (Persecuted Men), which will be edited into a single music video to compliment nationwide servicing of "Mi Amor (My Love)."

Without a doubt, Malverde has positioned himself as one of the great artists of Latin urban music genre. Malverde, the artist, was born in Coachella, California. The son of migrant field workers, he witnessed first hand the hardships his mother went through to provide him a better life. Growing up in a town mostly consisting of Mexican farm laborers, opportunities weren't the best. His salvation was his education, a B.A. in Political Science, and his poetry. "As I started to develop my style," adds Malverde, "my initial themes were about street life. Now my lyrical focus is more universal, about life, action and consequence."

"La Leyenda Continúa" - In-stores and online today!
