Posted in music | tour dates on August 15, 2008
It appears that Sam Sparro's September tour has been cancelled. According to Music Hall of Williamsburg where he was supposed to play on September 17th,
"This show has been canceled due to visa issues. Refunds available at point of purchase"None of the other tour dates appear on Sam's MySpace anymore either. "Visa issues" is the same reason he gave last time he cancelled shows. Maybe he's not an American citizen... I have no idea. According to b news,
Sparro's own story is an intriguing, cross-continental tale. Born in Sydney, he lived here until the age of 10. In the 15 years since then, he's jumped between LA, Australia and London.Maybe the world won't let him play."I've moved around a lot, so I do feel more of a citizen of the world than of any particular nationality," he says.
He also cancelled his appearance at this weekend's V Festival in the UK. I wonder if that was visa issues too.

It's his band, not him.
Posted by marah | August 15, 2008 12:57 PM
its not HIS visa, its his band. he has a full band that he's been touring with in europe and they won't give them visas because the band hasn't been together for a year or some crap.
