Diana Ross snubs media and fans
Saturday, April 26th 2008
UNDER COVER: Diana Ross hides her face after her arrival at Crown Point International Airport yesterday before her performance at last night's opening night of the Plymouth Jazz Festival at the Plymouth Recreation Ground.
THE Diva herself, Diana Ross, used a magazine to hide her face from media photographers and fans who stood at the Crown Point International Airport waiting to greet her yesterday morning.
Ross, who headlined last night's opening of the Plymouth Jazz Festival at the Plymouth Recreation Ground, arrived on a private jet at around 10.30 a.m.
A five-car convoy, including police escort, quickly whisked her away in a grey Mercedes Benz.
Some disappointed fans were heard asking: "But why is she hiding her face?"
Last night's performance by Ross was her second at the event, billed by Forbes 500 as the "third Biggest Event in the World".
Last year, Ross' performance was cut short to accommodate that night's headliner, Mary J Blige, who had to leave Tobago to fulfill contractual arrangements in the US.
Whitney Houston, who is working on making a comeback into the music industry after years of marital problems and drug abuse, is expected to arrive on the island at around 7 p.m. tonight.
