British pop singer Boy George has been forced to cancel his summer US tour after being denied a visa by the USA Administration. An official statement by his management claims that the current refusal to allow the singer into the country is due to his forthcoming trial "in November in London for something in April that happened last year." Details are vague, but George has expressed his sadness in having to miss his first US tour in over a decade, especially the scheduled August 17th appearance at The City of New York Department of Sanitation’s annual Family Day. That concert was planned as a "thank you" of sorts to the DSNY for the kindness shown to him during his community service stint in 2006 for cocaine posession.

To hold all of you Boy George diehards over until he plans another stateside voyage, I present to you a classic video from the star's early days. Ladies and gentleman ... Culture Club!
