Beyonce Knowles the Diva

Fans who had won a chance to meet the star backstage from a radio contest were unhappy to learn that they would not be allowed to carry their bags into the room, ask any question, take photographs, or shake Beyonce’s hand.  One of the fans told Britain’s The Sun, "It was supposed to be a bit of fun but I felt like I was under surveillance. It was like Beyonce was wrapped in cotton wool."

Another woman added, "There were lots of bodyguards watching and I wasn’t happy about leaving my handbag in the corridor."

Knowles began her The Beyonce Experience Tour last April.  On July 6, she will return to North America for a series of concerts through the beginning of September.
