Amy Winehouse's long-awaited first gig off 2009 was abandoned due to heavy rainfall in St Lucia.
The troubled singer's comeback performance at the Caribbean island's jazz festival was rained off halfway through when the stage wings became flooded.
A spokesman for Winehouse said the 25-year-old was 'disappointed' at the turn of events.
"Amy and the band tried to soldier on but the set had to be cut short," he said.
"Amy is very disappointed as St Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone's control meant that this special show did not go as planned."
Winehouse previously said it was an "honour" to be performing in St Lucia, where she is recording new material.
But last week she was briefly hospitalised after suffering from dehydration.
