Leona Lewis refuses to enhance her security

Leona Lewis has showed the hand to the idea of hiring giant bodyguards despite a recent attack by a crazed fan.

The former X-Factor winning singer was punched in the head at a book signing in London on October 14. The man accused of leaving her badly bruised was said to be suffering from paranoia and delusions of grandeur.

But the 24-year-old refused to step up her security, saying the assault was a one-off, reports the Mirror.

Leona Lewis calls off her promotional tour

Leona Lewis has cancelled a promotional tour after she was punched in the head at a recent book signing.

R ‘n’ B singer, who was left distraught after the incident, pulled out of a trip to Germany as she admitted the attack was a “horrible shock”.

“She was due to go to Germany today for a promo but that has now been cancelled,” the Daily Star quoted her spokesman as saying.

Following the assault, she spent her time hiding in her north London home, and only answered her fans’ goodwill messages.

“Thank you so much for your support. It was a horrible shock and left me extremely hurt and upset.

I’m very sorry to those I wasn’t able to meet at the signing. Love you all,” she said in a statement.

Lewis is still desperate to get back to work next week as she rehearses for a homecoming gig in Hackney next month.
