UK pop songstress Lily Allen has reportedly fired her management company, Empire Management, over concern that they contributed to her recent inability to secure a US visa in order to tour in the US back in September.

Allen was scheduled to appear at live shows and various promotional opportunities following the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas earlier this year – but was forced to cancel all dates after her visa was revoked by authorities.

A source close to the star has revealed that to British newspaper The Daily Mirror that, “She is still fuming about the business with her visa being revoked. She felt it was her year to break America and blames her management for not getting it sorted.”

The Empire also look after acts such as Natasha Bedingfield.
