Amy Winehouse will face no action over an incident during her Glastonbury performance in which she appeared to lash out at a member of the audience.

The singer, who gave a rambling and abruptly-ended performance, had stepped into the security pit and patrolling the edge of the audience when she struck out towards the end of her show, seemingly in retaluation.

Police said they had received no complaints about the incident and would not be taking any action.

Winehouse's appearance on the Pyramid stage ended Glastonbury’s big “will she? won’t she?” debate following weeks of uncertainty about whether she would actually appear.
Rumours had earlier been rife across the site that Lily Allen was being groomed to step in given Amy’s recent ill health and worries that she may not be able to hold out for an entire performance, even though she had shown she was still able to sing for short spells at the Nelson Mandela concert in Hyde Park on Friday.

Dressed in a sparkling sequinned strapless blue cocktail dress, the singer shrugged off her struggle with emphysema - which saw her hospitalised for several days - to play her Pyramid stage performance as planned. But the show was punctuated by her now customary barely-coherent between-song banter and references to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil who has been in prison for several months and recently pleaded guilty to a GBH charge.

“My husband’s out of jail in two weeks,” the crowd were informed by the singer who was constantly fiddling with her beehive and had to be helped with her guitar strap after her hair extensions became tangled.

“It took three women to get me into this dress,” she said later. “Women, innit? It takes you all that time to get dressed and – pow – nothing to get undressed.”

A set which included You Know I’m No Good, a covers of the Specials’ song Hey Little Rich Girl and another track the band made famous, A Message To You, Rudy, was rounded off with a version of Rehab, which she delivered from the safety pit at the front of the stage. While walking along the edge of the crowd she appeared to thrust her arm at a member of the audience, an incident which was beamed on to screens flanking the stage. After pleading for extra time to do “one more track”, she was told she had no more time and had to finish her performance by walking away to the edge of the pit, below the sight level of the crowd.

On Sunday morning Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis said Amy's clash with the fan came after "somebody put their hand on her boob".
