Not So Big in Japan...
from FMQB:
Velvet Revolver has been forced to cancel their four-city Japanese tour because the country denied their visas. According to the band's Web site, Japanese immigration officials are taking exception with the backgrounds of various band members, which have included arrests. The band is appealing the decision. "We want to apologize to our fans in Japan that we won't be able to perform our scheduled concerts," Velvet Revolver said in a group statement. "We don't understand why the authorities won't give us visas when they granted them for us in 2005 for what was a successful tour and a great experience. We love Japan and look forward to our return there." The band will proceed with their Australian tour that begins on December 4 in Brisbane.
