Houston, we have a problem.
A Los Angeles-to-New York American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas City on Friday to remove an “unruly” passenger who wouldn’t stop singing, reports WBTV.
The passenger had been belting out the Whitney Houston (and Dolly Parton) classic “I Will Always Love You” at 30,000 feet — and refused to stop.
American Airlines Spokesman Joe McBride explained:
The woman was being disruptive and was removed from the plane for interfering with the flight crew, there was a federal air marshal on the aircraft, who subdued the woman and put her in cuffs and removed her from the plane.
Legendary singer Whitney Houston died in February 2012.
KCTV reports the woman claimed her diabetes as the cause of her incessant singing.
