Lily Allen postpones her US gigs and her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards due to the sudden revocation of her US working visa. Reinstating the new visa takes more anyone expected and Allen is forced to skip her planned MTV performance with Kanye West and Common and her barely waited  US gigs.

The Smile singer was hindered to enter the US at the Los Angeles airport earlier this month and her O-1 working visa was revoked, allegedly because the authorities were alerted by her assaulting a photographer in London, that ended with her arrest and a caution. After she and her reps dismissed these speculations, it appears that she has been consulting lawyers to discover the motif of her not being granted the visa.

The star’s promise to “do everything I can to be back in America” was shattered by her visa "taking longer than anticipated", upsetting  her and her fans "I'm so disappointed. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Rumors claim that she has been dropped from the Las Vegas show prepared by MTV, but her manager informed the contrary: "She was not dropped from the awards and MTV are hugely disappointed that she will not be able to participate," he said.  MTV maintained their invitation in case Allen is lucky enough to receive the visa until September, 9: “(Lily) has a standing invitation to attend the event.”

Nominated for best newcomer, Lily Allen expressed her disappointment: "I was really looking forward to playing these shows and being part of the video music awards."

This is the second time this years her US fans miss her gigs, and not being their fault. Earlier this year, Allen canceled her US tour as she wanted to focus more on her second album and now, despite all promises, they will have to wait.
