Boy George Banned!

I am sad to learn that Boy George, the former lead singer of the 80s group Culture Club, had to call off his US tour because he couldn't get a visa.  His legal battle is the reason.  Last year, Boy George was arrested for imprisoning a male escort from Norway.  Back in February, he pleaded not guilty to the charge.  He is supposed to be back in court later this year.

The cancelled US tour was to start on July 10 in Aspen, Colorado.  He was scheduled to perform in Boston in August.  Boy George's upcoming tour of England will start at the end of August.

I was hoping to go see him.  I saw him and Culture Club ten years ago at the Pavilion in Boston.
