Black Eye Peas star Fergie was banned from boarding a flight because she was too drunk. The singer, AKA Stacy Ferguson, was due to travel from Los Angeles to the UK with her bandmates Will I Am, Apl De Ap and Taboo, but was told she was not allowed to fly because of her intoxicated state. An onlooker says, “She was falling all over the place and had to be supported. She was in no state to fly. But when she was prevented from boarding she couldn’t believe it. She was drunkenly ranting at staff but could barely string a sentence together. It was very embarrassing.” Fergie’s antics delayed the flight for an hour while her luggage was removed, but her three bandmates remained on board the plane, bound for London. [15 March 2007]
