Boy George Denied U.S. Visa
U.S. Customs has denied Boy George his visa, ending his hopes for a U.S. tour.
The denial comes after the British pop icon’s offer to show his appreciation for the Department of Sanitation of New York (DSNY) and play a free concert for their Family Day on August 17.
“I’m pretty devastated because I am so excited about this forthcoming tour, and having my visa application denied seems unfair after I swept the streets of New York spotless,” George tells PaperMag. “I committed a crime and I happily paid the consequences, and I should be allowed to move on and get on with what I do best - and that is performing and making people dance and cry!”
Too bad. Has American ever heard of forgive and forget??
