Boy George: Denied of visa from U.S
Boy George is facing a tough time since he has been denied of visa for his forthcoming summer tour at North America. Looming legal issues in overseas was cited as reason behind his refusal of visa.
More information about Boy George has been collected from quite a number of sources. His 24-date trek is scheduled to start from 11 July at the House of Blues in Las Vegas and would be ended on August 23 at the House of Blues in Dallas.
"At the moment, Boy George cannot come to the United States of America because he has been refused permission to enter by the USA Administration." "This is not in respect of anything he has done in the past but because he is facing a trial in November in London for something that happened in April last year." This statement was brought out from the artist's management.
Boy George was arrested last year after a twenty eight year old male escort from Norway has brought out the accusation of false imprisonment and assault against him. Later he denied the allegations and was released on bail.
"George's lawyers in London have absolutely forbidden us to speak about the facts of that case and all I can say is that George is astounded at the decision and is having lawyers here in the States look at it in the hope that someone will change their mind," "George really would love to come to America and repay his American fans loyalty and that is why we are asking the US Authorities to reconsider their decision." These were the words of Boy George’s statement.
In the year 2001, Boy George supported the release of his collection titled "Essential Mix" with a brief DJ-tour of the U.S. George has also toured and performed DJ sets in various countries namely Australia, Asia, Europe and Canada. |
