An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after a woman on board refused to stop singing Whitney Houston’s hit song 'I Will Always Love You'.

The flight departed Los Angeles International Airport. It was headed to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The unnamed woman was handcuffed and removed from the flight by air marshals after it was forced to divert to Kansas City Airport.

She was still singing the song when escorted from the plane. According to reports she began her endless rendition of the divisive tune shortly after the flight took off. Passengers managed half their journey before the singing became unbearable and a marshal was forced to intervene.

Airport spokesman Joe McBride said: "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." The woman was later interviewed by police and released without charge.
