Hold the rehab jokes, at least for now. Amy Winehouse's Oct. 1 concert at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, which had already been postponed, is now officially canceled. Ticket refunds are being given at point of purchase.

The burgeoning British bad girl also canceled a string of U.K. shows last week, and rumors immediately swirled that she entered a drug and alcohol treatment facility in London -- after her hit song "Rehab" preached she wouldn't go, "no no no." However, unconfirmed reports are surfacing that she may be undergoing other medical treatment.

Winehouse's publicists have said only that she "is putting all her touring commitments for this month on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues. ..."
