Soul singer Amy Winehouse’s court date in Norway on a drug possession charge has been postponed until further notice, the court in the western town of Bergen said Thursday.

“One of the people involved in the case, Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse’s husband, is currently in jail in Britain and can’t make the trip,” Anne Vedvik of the Bergen courthouse told AFP.

Winehouse had been due to appear on Friday.

“The hearing has therefore been postponed to an undetermined date,” Vedvik said.

The 24-year-old singer, who recently won five Grammy awards, was arrested with her husband and her hairdresser in Bergen last October after they were caught with seven grammes of marijuana in their possession at a local hotel.

Winehouse was released after paying a 500-euro (380 pounds) fine, which she has since contested.

Agreeing to pay a fine in Norway is the equivalent of admitting to the charges, which could make it difficult to obtain visas in the future — as was believed to be the case for Winehouse recently when she was initially refused travel to the United States to attend the Grammy awards show.

The young diva has fought alcohol and drugs, self-harm and eating disorders in the public eye, and was hospitalized last year after an overdose.

Her husband has been on remand in prison since November awaiting trial on assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice charges.

He allegedly tried to bribe a barman not to testify against him in an assault case.

Heath Ledger Autopsy Results ‘Inconclusive’

NEW YORK —  An autopsy on actor Heath Ledger was inconclusive, and more tests are needed, the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office said.

A spokeswoman for the office, Ellen Borakove, said Wednesday that it will take about 10 days to complete the investigation.

There was no obvious indication of suicide or foul play, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne, who added that cops are “investigating the possibility of an overdose.”

The 28-year-old Australia-born actor’s ex-fiancée, actress Michelle Williams, was flying to New York from Sweden with their 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, her father said.

“It has just broken everybody’s heart in my family,” Larry Williams, Michelle’s dad, told The Daily Telegraph in Australia. “My heart goes out to everyone, his family, my family, we are just very saddened. The saddest thing is his daughter, whom he just loved dearly.”

Oscar-nominee Ledger was found dead Tuesday at his downtown Manhattan residence, face-down and naked at the foot of his bed with prescription sleeping pills in the apartment, police said.

Ledger’s father, Kim Ledger, released a statement on Australian television while surrounded by his family:

“We, Heath’s family, confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.

“We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.

“He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our families need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.”
