Boy George
Boy George has been refused a US visa, meaning that his 24 date tour of North America, due to begin in Las Vegas on 11 Jul, may not go ahead.
It's not related to those events in New York a couple of years back, rather the previously reported allegations by a 28 year old male escort that the singer imprisoned and assaulted him last spring - allegations which as yet have not been dealt with in court.A statement from George's management said: "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 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".
