This might just be the most shocking piece of Winehouse related news we’ve received in a long time. Forget that scandalous racist video from last weekend and listen to this: on Thursday, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, whisked Amy away on a private jet to his native Country for a £1million-pound-deal private gig. And you’ll never guess what….

Apparently the concert went rather well. Seriously, surprising we know. Sources have revealed that the multi-award winning singer actually managed to maintain a high-level of standard throughout her one-hour performance without any hiccups or controversy, and, what’s more, she actually rather impressed her 300-strong crowd.

The billionaire Chelsea boss flew the troubled diva out in his private jet for a live show at the opening of The Garage, an arts and cultural centre run by his girlfriend Dasha Zhukova. As well as laying on the jet, a fleet of staff and cuisine for the one- gig, he also sorted out any potential visa problems for the Back to Black star.

“Abramovich made sure there were no obstacles to Amy coming into the country and performing,” said a source.

“He had to convince political authorities that Winehouse would behave herself and not send out a bad message from the cultural centre.”

It seems as though Roman had nothing to worry about though, despite her poor performance at the Rock In Rio Festival a couple of weeks ago. Even after her hour long set Amy was sober enough to chat with Abramovich, his girlfriend and dignitaries at the bash. The songstress’ spokesman, Chris Goodman released this statement shortly after the concert:

“It was a great gig. Amy was on terrific form and everyone was happy with the show.”

Is Amy finally back on form?? Watch this space…
