Boy George officially denied VISA, U.S. tour canceled

Boy George O'Dowd will not get an American VISA and that means there will be no tour this summer!
For those of you who registered to win tickets to see Boy George at Terminal 5 next month, we'll definitely be introducing a new prize soon.
The singer had planned to perform a summer concert tour including a free show for New York City sanitation workers. He worked for the department in 2006 while performing court-ordered community service in a drug case.
"I was really hoping that the issue would be resolved and that some kind soul at the U.S. Visa Office would realize that if the police in the U.K. placed no restrictions on my movements, that should have been good enough for them," O'Dowd said in a statement Tuesday.
"I am very sorry that I will not see all my American fans this year, but I wish them a happy and healthy Fourth of July. I include the Visa Office in those good wishes and realize they are doing a very difficult job and I just got unlucky," he said.
Boy George says his U.S. concert tour has been rescheduled for this winter.
