Chris Goodman, Winehouse’s spokesman, revealed today that the singer will not be able to attend the 2009 Coachella music festival, he said: “She is not appearing at Coachella this year in the light of current legal issues.”.

Last week, Amy Winehouse was charged with assault for allegedly attacking a fan at a party in London, back in September.  It clearly made difficult for the singer to get the US Visa to come perform at Coachella. This is not the first time Winehouse has to cancel performances in the US due to problems with VISA, last year she could not attend the Grammy Awards because her VISA was not approved in time.

She is also schedule to perform at the Island Records’ 50th anniversary concert, at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on May 31.

Amy Winehouse leaves another blank spot at the Coachella’s  2009 Lineup, when are the new additions coming? Soon, we’re about 38 days from the festival, and some of the rumors are:  Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Etienne de Crécy, Depeche Mode, and MGMT. Stay tuned!
