Looks like the tour might not go on!

According to Paper magazine, U.S. customs has denied Boy George’s visa into the country.

Sadly, BG will probably miss the NYC’s Department of Sanitation’s Family Picnic as well!

BG says, “I’m pretty devastated because I’m so excited about this forthcoming tour and having my visa application denied seems unfair after I swept the streets of New York spotless. There are a number of public figures who are openly using drugs and they’ve no problem with immigration and I’ve seriously turned my life around and I feel great right now and this is just another reminder of how bad things were. I committed a crime and I happily paid the consequences and I should be allowed to move on and get on with what I do ideal and that’s performing and making people people dance and cry!”

Let this be a lesson…keep your noses clean, children!

Boy George also reveals that he’s been incredibly inspired by presidential candidate Barack Obama.

He told the mag, “I was deeply moved and motivated by Obama’s ‘Yes We Can’ speech and I used it as a metaphor for personal change because there have been massive changes in my own life this past year. ‘Yes We Can’ equates as ‘Yes I Can’ from my own personal perspective and like many people I am excited by the prospect of Obama being the first black man in the White House and the next President of America. Most politicians fail to live up to the massive expectations we’ve for them but Obama exudes a sense of calm and after the stutterings of George Bush I feel he is just what America needs. I’m not too concerned about alienating Republicans because I’m pretty sure my audience is mostly Democratic!”

Will any Dems step up to the plate and help BG sort his visa issues out?
