Amy Winehouse has performed for a specially invited audience at the opening of an art gallery in Moscow.

Winehouse flew out to Russia especially for the concert at The Garage, which is owned by the owner of Chelsea football club Roman Abramovich and his girlfriend Daria Zhukova.

The singer, who was reportedly paid £1million for the show, thanked her hosts for an invite "to such a great night”.

Her spokesperson added: "Amy was very happy to play her part in the restoring of such a great building to its future use as a space for contemporary art."

Celebrities and cultural figures from the world of art were amongst the 300 guests who got the chance to see Winehouse perform, reports the BBC.

Mr Abramovich is reported to have recently paid £60million for two paintings by Lucian Freud.
