BRISTOL, England, June 29 (UPI) -- Amy Winehouse was caught up in a minor scuffle with an unidentified person while performing at the Glastonbury Festival in Britain, the singer's spokesman says.

Winehouse's unidentified spokesman said the "Rehab" singer reacted when someone grabbed her hair as she performed the final song of her set in front of the stage Saturday, The Sunday Times of London reported. It appeared Winehouse took a swing at the person, the British newspaper said.

The concert conflict continues troubling times for Winehouse, who has been diagnosed with emphysema and whose husband is incarcerated.

Yet witnesses said Winehouse gave a great musical performance. The singer even took time to speak about her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is in prison on assault charges.

"My husband is out of jail in two weeks," Winehouse told the crowd of at least 75,000 people.

Meanwhile, the Times said rapper Jay-Z performed at the music and arts festival despite previous opposition from Oasis singer Noel Gallagher, who said hip-hop music did not belong at the rock-oriented festival
