British singer Amy Winehouse arrived at a London court on Thursday to face a charge of assaulting a woman after a charity ball last year. The 25-year-old Grammy-winning artist, who wore a grey suit and her trademark beehive hairstyle as she arrived at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court, has denied assaulting Sherene Flash after the Berkeley Ball in the capital last September. The singer won five Grammy awards in 2008 and her second album “Back to Black” has won widespread critical acclaim. But her private life, including a battle against drug addiction, has overshadowed her recording success. In March, Winehouse was unable to get a US work visa to perform at April's Coachella festival in California because of the assault charge. Earlier this month, she ended her two-year marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, whose lawyer said his client had sought divorce from the singer on the grounds of adultery.
