Boy George was denied a Visa into the US and has been forced to cancel his summer tour. Boy George, whose real name is George O'Dowd, is currently awaiting trial on false imprisonment charges. Apparently a 18 year old man is claiming that he was chained up and threatened by Boy George, who lured him there to work as a photo model.

George has plead not guilty to the charges, and while the UK has not restricted his travel in any way, the US Visa Office denied him entry anyway. The tour had been planned to kick off in Aspen, Colorado on July 10th. He plans to re-schedule for the winter.

Quote: "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,"

Boy George said in a statement released earlier today.
