She's in the States and has a visa, says her manager

Lily Allen's manager has responded to news that the star has been denied a US visa, calling the reports "rubbish".

Neale Easterby explained that the singer is in fact working in Las Vegas, and has not been denied a visa.

It was reported that Allen was strip searched during a stopover at Los Angeles, after which she was denied a US Visa, banning her from the country.

But Easterby told Billboard: “She's in Las Vegas right now. She will be there until Thursday shooting a video with Common and Kanye West for Common’s track ‘Drivin' Me Wild’.”

Easterby went on to confirm that Allen would be back in the US next month for her scheduled tour dates.
