Sir Elton John says beauty Amy Winehouse is "one of the greatest performers" he has ever seen.

Elton John and his love David Furnish saw Winehouse live on Monday night at Shepherds Bush Empire in London .

He says, "Amy is an incredible performer. That was one of the most exciting and greatest shows I've seen in many years.

Meanwhile, Amy Winehouse is on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone, but she might not be happy with the writeup she and new hubby Blake Fielder-Civil receive reports NYDN.

"Winehouse and Blake are a pair of self-destructive souls equally capable of being the best or the worst thing that's ever happened to each other," writes contributing editor Jenny Eliscu. "They ... share matching scars, though the ones on his left forearm look older - and more rigorously inflicted – than hers. They are partners in crime who disappear to the bathroom with such regularity that one can't help but speculate about possible drug use."
