The Tour's Definitely Off

Filed under: Anglophilia > Boy George

There's no hope.

The U.S. won't budge and has totally denied Boy George's appeal of the country's decision to to deny his work visa request to enter.

As a result, the singer's summer tour has just been postponed until next year!

In a statement, George said:

“I was really hoping that the issue would be resolved and that some kind soul at the US Visa Office would realize that if the police in the UK placed no restrictions on my movements, that should have been good enough for them. 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.”

How politically correct!

B.G. will soldier on with a South American tour in September and a 25-date tour across the UK in October of this year.

The singer’s North American dates will be rescheduled for Winter 2009.

Hope he'll have more luck with the U.S. Visa folks in '09!

      All these foreigners love to criticize the U.S. but when they can't come here, they cry like infants. His concert revenues will now be only a fraction of that had the U.S. been on the schedule. Didn't these people learn anything from WWII when we rescued them??

      I care!!!!
      I just lost a lot of money. And I care about this man.

      It is really fascinating to see that one EVERY bloody thread a bunch of morons feel the need to post "Who cares?!".

      Well, HELLO!!! This is a celebrity gossip site - what are you doing here if you don't care about this sort of no-news news?!
      And why would you take the time to comment when you obviously have more important things to do, like read about Paris Hilton's new dog?!
      Doh!

      I think it was silly for the state department not to grant a visa to him. There are certainly far worse individuals to keep out of country. He was just trying to bring a bit of fun & celebration to us. I do commend him for his professional response!

      ROT IN NASTY AIDS INFESTED BODILY FLUIDS STEW WHY DONTCHA?
      SO,I TAKE IT YOU THINK HOMOSEXUALS WOULD NOT BECOME EXTINCT ON AN UNPOPULATED ISLAND WHERE WE SHOULD SEND THEM TO DIE OFF?
      ARE THEY ONLY HOMOSEXUAL UNTIL THEY WANT TO PAY SOME DYKE BITCH TO CARRY THEIR CHILD BECAUSE DUE TO THE UN-NATURALITY OF THEIR CHOICE OF WHO TO HAVE SEX WITH THEY CAN NOT CONCEIVE OR BIRTH A CHILD? SO BASICALLY ONLY GAY TO HAVE NASTY SHIT CRUSTY SEX BECAUSE THEYRE WARPED AND NOT NORMAL,BUT WHEN THEY WANT A CHILD THEY WILL ”DO LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE DO”?

      Hey, bulbous head, look around the web. Who else is talking about a Boy George concert? Enough already. We get it. You're a queen. Would it kill you to talk about something manly once in a while, like Karate or Burt Reynolds? No offense, but if I want to hear updates on Boy George concerts and find out what's new in the gay community, I'll call Chris Farias.

      Oh, Perez, we here in Aspen are truly dismayed! Boy George was to kick off his North American tour here, in our tiny, yet AWESOME live music venue, The Belly Up. As long as our Boy wonder wasn't DJ'ing (truly horrendous), I was looking forward to it. This is a miscarriage of justice!

      Too bad. I feel sorry for the Boy George fans. I think George should get himself a new manager. You would think his people would look into whether the pending trial would make him ineligible for a visa before booking a tour.

      I don't care for Boy George, but it bugs me that he cancelled the Canadian dates too. Did he get rejected by Canada, too? If not: Boy, Canada is a separate country.

      Well, of COURSE the Brits haven't placed any restriction on his movements - they're probably hoping that he'll leave.

      I bet this is because the UK wouldn't let Martha Stewart in a few weeks ago.

    51. K says – reply to this


      51

      KC-That was my first thought too about this and the UK's refusal of entry of Martha, kind of a "tit for tat" thing. Too bad though, The Boy I would have paid to see, probably not may UKers would pay to see Martha.

      I have a great Idea! Let BG in to the States and send all the ignorant, bigoted, racist assholes like "Good" to a deserted Island and castrate all the men so they can't reproduce….. That would solve so much of our problems and make this world just a little bit happier.
