John Rich reportedly asked to leave a plane

John Rich is at the centre of an airport controversy after he was reportedly asked to leave a plane in Las Vegas.

TMZ.com reports the Country star was escorted off a Southwest flight to Tennessee after getting into a verbal argument several passengers.
 
A representative for Southwest has confirmed a passenger was kicked off the flight, but would not release the person's name.
 
The rep says: "Our crew assessed the situation and determined that the passenger was not fit for travel under governing federal aviation regulations.
 
"The customer was rebooked on a later Southwest flight out of Las Vegas, but chose to make alternative travel arrangements. We have processed a refund for the customer and his travel companion."
 
Rich has yet to release a statement about the incident.
