An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing because a passenger refused to stop singing Whitney Houston’s hit song I Will Always Love You.

The domestic service from Los Angeles to New York was diverted to Kansas City so marshals could remove the woman from the plane because she kept singing the song repeatedly.

The singing began shortly after the flight took off, but around halfway through it became too much for fellow passengers and staff to bear.

The woman was filmed being escorted from the plane, in handcuffs, still belting out the 1992 number one hit.

Kansas City 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 interviewed and later released without charge.

Best known as the title song from Houston’s film The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner, it was originally released by country singer-songwriter Dolly Parton in 1974.

However it was the Houston version of I Will Always Love You that became a worldwide hit and set a record as the best-selling single by a female artist in music history.

Houston was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel room in February 11, 2012.

The official coroner’s report showed that she had accidentally drowned in the bathtub, with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.
