DJ and pop star Boy George has been denied a visa to enter the United States, his Web site said Tuesday.
In 2007, George spent five days cleaning the streets of New York to fulfill a community service sentence.
U.S. immigration authorities denied the visa because George, 48, faces trial in November in London on charges of false imprisonment relating to an April 2007 incident, according to a statement from Boy George's management, posted on his site.
"George is astounded at the decision and is having his lawyers here in the States look at it in the hope that someone will change their mind," the statement read.

People say that Boy George is best known for his Culture Club hit single, Do you really want to hurt me? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I suppose we should expect the US to open their borders and let this guy in so that there can be all kinds of legal nonsense when he doesn't want to go home to the UK...
