Ex-crystal meth-taking, on-stage urinator Fergie, the female one out of The Black-Eyed Peas was refused entry on a transatlantic flight yesterday - by being too drunk to even stand up properly.
As an eyewitness told a popular UK tabloid: "She was drunkenly ranting at staff but could barely string a sentence together. It was very embarrassing." IE: how people should behave when three sheets to the wind. You go, girlfriend!
The rest of her group had to take the flight from Los Angeles to London without her. Virign Atlantic offered up a suitably non-descriptive and boring statement about a female passenger being "unfit to travel".
Music Towers is a big fan of rockstar airplane stories - be they Randy Rhodes crashing his own plane into a bus, demented air-rage from Ian Brown or Peter Buck of REM, or Satanic terrorists taking control of a rock star's airplane and trying to use it to bring about the end of the world. Actually that last one's the plot of B-movie supreme, "Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal", and not, sadly, a report from Jay Kay's recent "Gig In The Sky".
