Umaga's final flight with Britney Spear

The pop singer bumped into the former WWE Wrestle Mania headliner when they shared a flight from Australia to America.Britney-now back in LA-remembered Umaga from a wrestling story line he was part of with her ex-husband Kevin Federline and John Cena on Raw.She was returning from a series of concerts down under,where the grappler had also been in action is part of the Hulkamania tour.His last was on November 28 against Ken Anderson in Sydney.The wrestling observer reports:"After the match,Fatu returned to the US on a flight with both Ric Flair and Britney Spears.Spear recognised him even before Flair,telling him she knew him for when he worked with her ex-husband."Umaga,real name Edward Fatu,died of a heart attack a week later,aged just 36.He was due to return to the WWE in January,subject to passing a drug test.He was fired in june for falling foul of the company's wellness policy and refusing to go to rehab.The WWE have been criticised by fans for not marking his passing at all on this week's raw.There was no video tribute on graphic with many assuming Vince mc Mahon's group are trying to distance themselves from the large number of grapplers who have died young.However some wrestlers-including Chris Jericho and Primo Colon wore black arm bands in Umaga's honour.
