Boy George, has been forced to canceled his American summer tour after being denied a visa by the United States. The pop singer is facing trial in London in Autumn as stated by his management.
Boy George had been scheduled to show up in New York in August for the Department of Sanitation�s annual family day. In 2006 he cleaned the streets for five days as part of a court-ordered community service after falsely reporting a break-in to his New York home. He wanted to give a concert for department workers.
The statement by his management also mentioned that Boy George was �devastated� and 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.�
Boy George, whose real name is George O�Dowd, is facing trial in November on a charge of falsely imprisoning a man. The statement said, �George has not been convicted of anything in London, and there is a presumption in the Western world of innocence until proven guilty.�
