It takes a big man to get knocked in the face by an 80 pound girl and keep his dignity. But that’s exactly the kind of man James Gostelow is. Gostelow was assaulted – and by that I mean viciously elbowed – by Amy Winehouse during her Saturday evening concert at the Glastonbury Festival. Gostelow says it was all a case of mistaken identity. A man behind him threw his hat at Amy’s beehive, and she thought it was James. Thus the mad elbowing. But let’s be fair here – the other guy was probably just throwing his hat in the air – or maybe he didn’t even touch it. Winehouse’s hive has a gravitational force all its own.
Mr Gostelow said the incident was a case of mistaken identity. "I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy's beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me. She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again."
Speaking after the incident, Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis defended the star, saying she had appeared to lash out after being touched by a fan. Mr Gostelow, who did not see anyone touch the singer, said he was "shocked" rather than sore. He added that while he was "disappointed", he had no intention of making a complaint to police.
"At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience," he said. "I'm just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act. Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake the person who threw the hat."

Talk about having a good attitude. It’s odd though, we’ve heard at least three different versions of what happened. The original explanation was that someone grabbed Amy’s boob. So then you think, “Well who could blame her?” Then it was that someone grabbed her hair. So again, you think “Well it’s probably instinct to react to someone grabbing you.” If you’re generous with excuses. Now it seems that someone threw a hat at or near Winehouse, and she just started beating on anyone who had the balls to make eye contact with her.
To look at the video, it doesn’t seem like anyone could get seriously injured. And she also appeared to be mildly (for Amy Winehouse) drunk. So I doubt she was able to put much force behind her elbowing/blows (depending on which story you believe). Nonetheless, everyone should keep in mind that if you’re willing to shell out a lot of cash for an Amy Winehouse concert, the odds are still 50/50 that she’ll show up, and about 60/40 that she’ll give you a beat down.
Here’s Amy Winehouse returning to the clinic she is staying at to receive treatment for her drug addiction right after the Glastonbury Festival, WENN notes that “Amy appeared worse for wear, and looked somewhat disheveled compared to how healthy she looked leaving the clinic only a few hours before.” Images thanks to WENN.
