Snoop Dogg has been denied a visa that he would need to enter the UK for a series of planned concerts. Publicists for the tour announced the news Saturday.

Although he was expected to play five gigs in Britain, at the moment it may not happen. Snoop has issued a statement that he would like to know how he can rectify the situation and will talk to officials in order to reassure them over any issues they may have.

The concert for Tuesday at Wembley Arena in London will continue without him, with P Diddy and others performing.

A spokesperson for the Home Office was unable to comment specifically but she did remind those with questions that any foreign citizens may be barred from entering the country if there is any concern about their presence there. However, it’s likely that it’s related to April 2006 when he and five others were arrested for violent disorder and brawling. He was barred from re-entering Britain in May of that year. Only time will tell if he can regain access in time for his tour.

That was a kickass article. What do I do now?
