Boy George has been refused a visa allowing him to enter the country.

George has scheduled performance dates in the United States for his current tour. He was also set to perform especially for his former colleagues at New York’s Department of Sanitation.

George’s spokesperson says his client is devastated. It would have been the singer’s first performances in the States in a decade.

His attorneys are attempting to get George’s visa approved.

His manager said in a statement, “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. George has not been convicted of anything in London and there is a presumption in the Western World of innocence until proven guilty. He is clearly not considered any form of risk.  George really would love to come to America and repay his American fans  loyalty and that is why we are asking the U.S. authorities to reconsider their decision.”
