Lily Allen Banned From The US
Labels: Lily Allen, NewsLily Allen has been banned from performing in the US after her work visa was revoked when she was stopped at Los Angeles airport.
The 22-year-old singer was detained at the airport for five hours over her arrest in London in March for an alleged clash with a photographer.

"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," she said.
