[kj] OT: NMA US tour cancelled...

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

I hate to say this... And I could be wrong....But I do not think they fill  
gigs in the USA like the use to. They have been here a gang of times. So why  
would they be denied?

Our apologies to  anyone who has already received this message...


We are sorry to  deliver this bad news...


VISAS Denied.  North American tour cancelled. 


We have  regrettably been forced to cancel the North American tour that was 
due to  start this week. The US Citizenship and Immigration Service have denied 
the  visas that the band require to travel to the USA and so until this 
matter is  resolved all shows are on hold.


The band and  management are extremely disappointed by this result as the 
tour was destined  to be one of the greats. The new album is out, there is media 
attention in  every city and the expectations are (were) high from the 
thousands of fans who  had bought advance tickets.


The dates will be  re-booked once the Immigration situation is resolved. In 
the meantime, ticket  refunds are available from the point of purchase.


At present time we  are still awaiting the reason for our denial from the 
proper  authorities.


Check back for  updates as we will be further investigating this matter.


Despite all the  gloom there is a light at the end of the tunnel... "HIGH" 
was released in the  US on Tuesday and reports are that sales are  brisk..
