Boy George has been denied a US visa for his upcoming tour.

Speaking to Paper Magazine, George said that he was "pretty devastated" after he had "swept the streets of New York spotless."

"There are a number of public figures who are openly using drugs and they have no problem with immigration and I have seriously turned my life around and I feel great right now and this is just another reminder of how bad things were," he said.

"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 best and that is performing and making people dance and cry!"

There is no word on whether the tour, which was to include a free show for NYC sanitation works, will be cancelled or rescheduled.
