Leona Lewis feared for her life after being caught up in the middle of a police chase in Los Angeles.
The ‘Bleeding Love’ singer had stopped at a café with her entourage on her way to LA Airport. Just as they pulled over, another car came screeching to a halt next to them and two men with handguns came running past. Armed cops followed closely behind and captured them. As the drama unfolded, the singer’s security team quickly forced Leona back into the car for her own safety, but her manager was thrown to the ground.
Speaking to friends, Leona recalls, “It was really frightening. one minute we were stopping for drinks, the next there was police and guns everywhere. It came completely out of the blue and was absolutely terrifying. I really thought the guys might start shooting. I was shaking like a leaf afterwards.”
After the drama, Leona answered some questions for police and then continued to the airport in time to make her flight.
