The Associated Press reports that Kelly Osbourne canceled a performance Thursday at the NME ("New Musical Express") Awards due to her fears about traveling to the U.K.

According to her publicist, Kelly decided not to travel to the U.K. after seeing images of soldiers patrolling London's Heathrow Airport. Kelly's parents, Ozzie and Sharon, were in New York on September 11, 2001, when Arab terrorists attacked the city, and Kelly didn't want to repeat heir experience.

Seems reasonable to us. It doesn't make sense that the bad publicity from Kelly's last appearance on a music awards show would have scared her away, does it?
