Beyonce imposes male ban for world tour

Beyonce has imposed a ban on male staff for her current world tour, arguing that she prefers being in the company of women.

The 'Crazy in Love' singer told The Sun she initally had reservations over her single sex policy, saying: "I was like, 'this will never work', but I found focused and incredible musicians that are just as good or better than any guy."

Explaining her decision, she commented: "I grew up in a house with so many women. I love being around women. I love being around talented women and supportive women."

Speaking about the success of the policy so far, the former Destiny's Child star added: "Everyone is so supportive of each other. We do things together, like yesterday we went skating.

"I rented out a roller skating rink for all of us and everybody's families to come."
