Boy George pulls the plug on his trek across America.

Eighties pop star Boy George was forced cancelled his Summer tour of North America on Tuesday after U.S. authorities refused to issue him a visa because of legal trouble in his native Britain.

“I love America and I am really sad that it appears that I am not allowed to visit a place I have called home at various times in my life,” George said in a message on his official website yesterday. “But what has happened to me has nothing to do with the American people — they are kind people with big hearts.”

The forty-seven year old former Culture Club singer had scheduled a 30-date tour of the States, which would have kicked off with a show in Aspen, Colorado July 10th.
