Dizzee Rascal Tickets

Dizzee Rascal is facing a life ban from British Airways following a row with a staff member on Saturday.

The 'Bonkers' rapper was reportedly hurling abuse at a member of staff following a lengthy delay for take off. An eyewitness told the Mail on Sunday: "Dizzee was getting very angry and it was taking so long to take off. Then he threw a tantrum with staff, and passengers were told something was wrong."

"After the incident his band members were still on the flight. They started kicking off too, shouting that they couldn't play without him because he'd been thrown off."

Dizzee was due to play a set at the Optimus Alive Festival in Portugal, but had to cancel his appearance as a result of the incident.

An airport source said: "This will not be tolerated. There will be an internal investigation and a decision will be taken as to whether he will ever be allowed to fly with British Airways again."

A police spokesman also confirmed that the police arrived at the scene but no arrests were made.

Should Dizzee be banned from BA for life?
