Furious Winehouse Fist Finds Another Target

Twenty-five-year-old Londoner James Gostelow was just another Glastonbury concertgoer when he woke up on Saturday morning, June 28. But when he went to bed that night, he was no longer just James Gostelow. He was James Gostelow, the latest Amy Winehouse pummeling victim. His harrowing account, reported by the BBC Monday, follows.

Gostelow was in the front row at Amy Winehouse’s Glastonbury performance, he says, when a hat was suddenly thrown from some point behind him. The hat soared over his head and struck Winehouse at her most dangerous pressure point: her beehive. The button was pressed; Winehouse’s eyes travelled downward, gathering rage.

“She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me,” Gostelow recalls.

The next moments were a flurry of confusion and chaos, like something out of The Crocodile Hunter.

“She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again,” Gostelow says.

The fuming Winehouse pummeled Gostelow with a flurry of punches, mid-performance, as the crowd watched. Gostelow, fortunately, was not seriously harmed.

“It wasn’t too bad,” he says. “It was more shock than anything else, having got up very early to see her, and then, uh, being hit by her.”

Gostelow is only another in a series of near-deadly attacks by the merciless and calculating Amy Winehouse. When will the next victim surface? In a bar? In a sub shop? Only one thing is certain: Provoking the notorious Winehouse is an act people soon regret. As for Gostelow, he is not pressing charges, and consideres himself lucky.

“At the end of the day it’s being part of the front, and being crushed by the thousands of people here at Glastonbury,” he rationalizes. “It’s part of the experience, I suppose.” God bless his heart.
