Download was unable to perform a tribute for her late friend Amy Winehouse because she was too emotional, George Michael has revealed.

The ex-Wham! star explained: "We communicated by email and initially what I wanted was for us to sing Love Is A Losing Game by Amy Winehouse at the Elizabeth Taylor tribute I did at Covent Garden.
"She was basically telling me she couldn't. She tried to put one of [Winehouse's] songs in her own set and she couldn't even get through it. I think they knew each other from the Brit School.
"They're obviously musical goddesses but I think the tragedy would have been too much for her."
He went on to add that he is still keen to work with the Rolling In The Deep singer, stating: "I would love to do a track with her.
"I think she has no plans other than to have a baby right now and I think she wants to lay low for a while and gather herself and to then come back to us relatively soon with some more music and I'd love to be involved when that happens. She's lovely."
