She tweeted the news last night, and it was confirmed earlier today. Maya replaces dropout Amy Winehouse on Saturday and it’ll be her first performance since giving birth to a beautiful baby boy not named Ickitt. (UPDATE: He’s named Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman. Big difference.)

  1. Oh darn, Amy Winehouse was the reason I was going…

  2. I wonder if it will be as insane as her performance last year. Which everyone hated, but I got a huge kick out of.

    Haha yeah that was pretty chaotic. I don’t think it will be though. That’s the whole point to having her be Wino’s replacement anyway, so she can be put on the main stage like she should’ve been last year and do a proper set.
