Boy George banned from performing in America

The former Culture Club singer was planning a string of US shows but has
reportedly been denied a visa by the country’s immigration officials.
George – who was ordered to clean the streets of New York as community
service in 2006 after pleading guilty to falsely reporting a burglary –
complained to Paper magazine: “I’m pretty devastated about this forthcoming
tour and having my visa application denied seems unfair after I swept the
streets of New York spotless.
“I committed a crime and I happily paid the consequences and I should be
allowed to move on.”
The 47-year-old star, real name George O’Dowd, wanted to perform a free
concert in New York to show his appreciation to the Department of Sanitation
for their kindness during his community service.
