Chris Brown Denied Entry To UK Due To Criminal Record; Tour Canceled
June 9th, 2010 - 12:17 am ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Chris Brown’s European tour has been canceled, since the singer was denied entry into the UK because of his criminal record involving the domestic violence issues which he had in 2009 with singer ‘Rihanna’.
United Kingdom officials released an announcement today which confirmed that they have banned singer Chris Brown from their country. “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the U.K. to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns. Each application to enter the U.K. is considered on its individual merits.”
Soon after, Chris Tweeted, “SORRY to all the fans in Europe!!! my tour is cancelled. Im pretty sure yall know. my entry was denied in your country. I love you. SORRY!!” This post was quickly deleted, however, and a new, official post from his publicist was issued, “Due to issues surrounding his work visa, the Ireland and United Kingdom leg of Chris Brown’s Fan Appreciation Tour has been postponed. Chris looks forward to performing for his fans abroad in the near future and thanks them for their continued support.”
Chris Brown, who is 21 years old, was supposed to perform in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow, Scotland, is still on ‘trash detail’ as a part of his five years probation which he was given after pleading guilty in the assault against Rihanna. Ironically, Rihanna performed concerts all over the UK recently, and had no issues with her visa.
