The U.S. rock band Velvet Revolver had to cancel its upcoming tour of Japan because members were denied visas to perform there, the BBC said Tuesday.
"We don't understand why the authorities won't give us visas when they granted them for us in 2005," the band said on its Web site.
Velvet Revolver, which features former members of Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, had been slated to perform in Tokyo and three other Japanese cities at the end of the month.
"We want to apologize to our fans in Japan that we won't be able to perform our scheduled concerts," the band said. "The increasingly tough Japanese immigration officials are taking exception with the backgrounds of various band members, which have included arrests."
The immigration department declined to comment on the decision, the BBC said. // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
