Boy George is denied U.S. visa

Singer Boy George, who had planned a U.S. tour this summer, has been denied a visa to enter the country, his managers say.

The 47-year-old performer, whose real name is George O’Dowd, was turned down because he’s awaiting trial in London, his representatives said. He has pleaded not guilty to imprisoning a man at his London home.

The U.S. Department of State said visa records are confidential so it couldn’t comment.
