LONDON (Reuters) - Troubled British soul singer Amy Winehouse was arrested on Tuesday as part of an investigation into perverting the course of justice, London police and her publicist said.
The 24-year-old, whose husband Blake Fielder-Civil is being held on remand accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, went to a London police station to be arrested in agreement with police.
"It was voluntary and pre-arranged," a representative at her publicity agency said, asking not to be quoted by name.
In a statement, London's Metropolitan police said: "A 24-year-old woman has been arrested by appointment at an East London police station in connection with an investigation into perverting the course of justice. She remains in custody."
Winehouse, nominated for six Grammy awards, has struggled with drugs and alcohol since shooting to fame. She was pictured this month wandering the streets of London at dawn in only a bra and jeans.
The tattooed singer has cancelled all her remaining planned concerts this year saying she cannot perform while her husband is in jail.
Fielder-Civil, 25, was charged in November in an investigation into perverting the course of justice, days before he was due to go on trial for beating up a bartender.
The trial was delayed after police launched an investigation into allegations made by British newspaper The Daily Mirror that the bartender was offered money not to testify.
Winehouse's parents have made repeated calls for their daughter to seek help, fearing that she could be sucked into a cycle of drugs and trauma.
"We want to help you, but we know that unless you want to be helped, unless you come to us, anything we tried would be in vain," her mother, Janis Winehouse, wrote in a letter published by the News of the World newspaper last week.
"Early fame has overwhelmed you, it's dizzied you and muddled your mind."
Winehouse scored a hit last year with the song "Rehab" about refusing treatment for drugs and alcohol.
She and Fielder-Civil, who married earlier this year, were arrested in Norway in October for possessing cannabis and paid a fine.

I’ve never heard of this person till she started making news by getting into trouble with police. Proving once again that any publicity is good publicity.
So who is going to wind up with more arrests, Amy or Pete Doherty?
It’s hard to watch this down spiral happen to any young person.
What a poofter the bartender must be to get beat by this stringbean.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. —Mathew 7:13-14
I kind of dig her... Don't tell anyone OK?
Yep, she’s a MESS.
You should buy her album. She is one weird, strung out type of lady, but boy can she sing! I love “Fade to Black”, which has only one track I dislike. I think the song “You Know I’m No Good” is the best track.
She’s actually a good singer....
just mess as a person.
Sounds so much nicer than "Drugged and drunken stumblebum Amy Winehouse..."
Unfortunately some of the best singers in my opinion are heroin addicts. Unfortunately it’s like selling their souls to the devil in return for fame.
Yes. So many people seek to be rich and famous. But be careful what you ask for.
Move over, Courtney Love.
Sad, but true-—
Thank you!
no! no! no!
Thank goodness this Skank has all the appropriate Skank Stamps to I.D. her to the public......
This is surely the best attribute of tattoos on “women” -— an indelible and visible “skank stamp”.....
I’ve never understood how any woman could think she can improve upon her natural beauty with a skank stamp.
These young gals with doves, blue birds or butterflies tattooed above their asses or breasts, are going to watch them transform into vultures peering down at flabby, wrinkled and stretch marked flesh all too soon..
Yep,
even us old biddies have those ‘stamps’ on our backs.
My birthday gift to myself is to add to mine this weekend..... ;) Whatever, makes me happy.
BTW, I’m listening to Amy’s “Back to Black” right now...
With all her problems, she has a fabulous voice.
Granted ... she has a certain appeal.
And a great amount of talent.
Hopefully she’ll get through this time of her life and be around for a while as a jazz artist.
She’s a bull duke heroin addict type broad.
You're right. I've eliminated about 90% of the women I've considered dating due to the presence of the skank stamp, and I have duly noted afterwards that I was in fact correct.
hey, that works for me. leaves all the more for the rest of us who understand that you can’t judge a person based on their appearance.
based on your opinion tho, what makes you think that any of them would want a closed minded person such as yourself?
Then again, you have to keep in mind the city I live in - Toronto - tatts like those scream bi-sexual/artsy/feminist/weirdo where I come from.
:) This 44 year old conservative Christian has a “tramp stamp” on my back. I got it around my 40th birthday and I love it - as does my husband of 17 years.
Amy has a great voice. Unfortunately, she has not chosen wisely lately. My girls don’t listen to her (they’re 13 and 15). If you ask them why they don’t like her they’ll list her behaviors. Never once do they list her tattoos.
Spoken like someone fated to remain single.

You have a close relationship with Rosy Palms, don't you?
You deserve no more than what you choose to give, and you sound like a noncompromising jackass. "It's about what I want and I deserve the best"?? Are you kidding?
I was actually being facetious, isn’t that the common line that you hear from most young cosmo reading females these days?
Tragic.
