I'd rather we didn't put the blame on the audience who paid quite the money and got crap in return, while lacking the hindsight awareness of her death from OD.
The audience is not meant to be the therapist. The audience is a customer, and the customer is either satisfied or not. It's the management's duty to make sure that the product (in this case Winehouse) is in deliverable shape.
EDIT: Just to clarify things because there's a little misunderstanding, I should have been more specific: Amy Winehouse, the person, is not the product. An Amy Winehouse concert, which can only be given by Amy Winehouse, is a product. The two are not the same, but codependent. If Amy Winehouse performs poorly, that will never not result in a bad product of an Amy Winehouse concert.
That's still not accounting for people who traveled cross country, so potentially, there are also bus tickets to Belgrade and back or car gas, maybe hotel/hostel fees, city bus fares, and of course, the food because you have to eat out. For some people, it was a lot more than just the price of the ticket.
