*One day before the Michael Jackson tribute, Chris Brown has been forced to pull out after he was denied a work visa because of his criminal record.
The singer was set to honor the late King of Pop with a performance at the Oct. 8 star-studded Michael Forever concert in Wales, but he’s now axed his plans after being barred from entering the U.K. due to his 2009 assault conviction for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
The show has been plagued with problems in recent weeks – the Black Eyed Peas dropped out of the tribute on Thursday due to “unavoidable circumstances”, and Gene Simmons was removed from the bill following complaints from fans regarding previous comments the Kiss rocker had made regarding Jackson’s child abuse allegations.
Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Ne-Yo and Leona Lewis are still expected to perform as planned.
Why is this being held in the UK????

He’s scheduled for a tour stop/performance in Charlotte, NC on the same day – so how was he supposed to do both? I smell foul here…

According to Daily Mirror reports today, Chris Brown was blocked from entering the UK this week, preventing him from performing at Saturday’s Michael Forever tribute concert. What the reports don’t mention is the fact that Chris Brown wasn’t even on the line-up for the gig – and that he is actually currently in the middle of his own US tour.
The story says that Brown was apparently barred from coming to Britain because of his previous criminal activities and his record – but these rumours are in actual fact false, as there is no way Brown would agree to perform at the show when he has gigs lined-up for tonight, Saturday, Sunday and almost every day until November 6th. Also, if Snoop Dogg, The Game and Ice Cube can all manage to make their way into the country – I’m sure little old Chris Brown can too.
The article seems to suggest that Chris Brown was part of the concert’s line-up, and suggested that maybe he could perform by hologram, but the anonymous source then decided that that “would put a negative slant on the day.”
In related news, Chris Brown is said to be planning to bring his F.A.M.E tour to the UK in 2012 – watch out on Stereoboard for more news on that tour in the near future
