Taylor Hicks — I ‘Banged’ My Way Onto an Airplane
Former ‘American Idol’ champ Taylor Hicks pulled a full-on rock star move to force his way onto an airplane in Atlanta after nearly missing his flight.
Taylor gave us the blow-by-blow when he got off his Delta flight from Atlanta to NYC on Friday — telling us, “They wouldn’t let me in so I had to call the higher-ups. We banged on the door to the plane as it was leaving.”
Hicks — the oldest ‘Idol’ winner ever — might be exaggerating his pull with the airline just a bit. Officials at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta tell us they have no record of Hicks’ flight being held up … and they suspect he merely knocked on the jetway door shortly after it closed.
