Boy George denied visa for tour, wrote Obama song

probably has more to do with him writing about obama than anything else.

He's gotta crush on Obama.

update: no worries, he donned a wig and sneaked into the country as robert smith.

GB has got to retaliate for this. this is just not right.

"There are a number of public figures who are openly using drugs and they have no problem with immigration"

O RLY? Name one.

i miss taco time for mom & dad.

probably has more to do with him not selling any tickets!

11:07, I think he means the fact that they give current crack heads like Amy Wino a visa (albeit not without trouble and a bit late).

Visa withheld because application contained repeated run-on sentences.

^ lol

seriously, the guy should be left alone. he's paid his debt, as they say. he did sweep the fucking streets, to the snickering glee of all. it's usually bullshit when celebrities are fucked with over their visas.

unless it's cat stevens who essentially endorsed the fatwa against salman rushdie some years ago. then, a few years later, he got a less than warm welcoming on his arrival in NY, and got his ass flown right back to london. fucking hilarious.

latest PR:

“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. 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 has not been convicted of anything in London and there is a presumption in the Western World of innocence until proven guilty. The proceedings that George faces in London are of course important and serious but George has been given unconditional bail by the Police and Courts in London thereby permitting him to travel anywhere in the World. He is clearly not considered any form of risk in London in that regard and in that respect we are asking the US Authorities to reconsider their position. George has cooperated fully with all investigations and enquiries into the case and has put forward a full and detailed defence. We would love to be able to tell you what that defence is but we say again that we are absolutely forbidden by George’s London lawyers to do so because if it gets its way back to England it could amount to a contempt of Court. 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”.

yes, they really want to hurt him.

is there an address where we can mail him some shoe laces? poor guy...

I am so sad...I already had tickets for the Anaheim show. I love Boy George!!

FYI...Ticketmaster still hasn't posted anything on their website about it.

I have tickets for the Florida show & same here. Ticketmaster keeps saying it is not cancelled officially yet.

One night their website said it might be cancelled, then next day they were back for sale again.

Frustrating when all the articles say he is not coming to US.

I got tickets for the NYC show and what's more enraging TM still selling them!

"Frustrating when all the articles say he is not coming to US"

Keep believing everything you read! That's adorable...
