Lily Allen’s US Work Visa Taken

The Mirror reports Lily Allen had her US visa canceled after being held at a LAX airport, locked in a cell and strip searched. The incident stemmed from Allen’s arrest in London in March following an alleged clash with a photographer. Allen said: “It is my intention to play my American dates in September. This depends on the authorities granting me a new work visa. I want my fans to know that I will do everything I can to be back in America in September. I don’t like letting my fans down and this is a situation that I am sure we can sort.” Read more. But a spokesman for the singer tells BBC News: “Lily was questioned and her work visa was revoked. She was detained for five hours but not strip searched. Understandably she was upset by it.”
