´óÏó´«Ã½

Bad news all round again - not only has my laptop broken again for the 6th time in 14 months (don't buy a laptop made by... I can't say, it's the ´óÏó´«Ã½!) but also the Diddy & Snoop UK dates have been cancelled.

Just been sent this from a reliable source (large up miniMel!):

Despite desperate attempts have the One Love Peace Tour UK shows go ahead as planned and hoping the government would reconsider Snoops visa in light of assurances made, the tour has been cancelled. With late notice of Snoop being denied a visa, time has ran out and it is too late reconfigure the show. Credible behind the scenes efforts were made to no avail to reverse the decision.

P. Diddy and Snoop were incredibly disappointed and devastated by the news. They really did not want to let fans down this way as the UK was a planned highlight of the tour. However, this ultimately was a situation out of their control. UK Ticket holders are advised they can obtain refunds on their unused tickets at the original point of purchase.

The One Love Peace tour will next play two shows in Dublin March 31st and April 1st at The Point.

I can kinda understand the Government's position but really and truly, I think they should have let Snoop in. As he said, none of the politicians can reach the kids on the street - he can and they could have used him to help promote a positive message. I'm interested in your thoughts though. Should Snoop have been let in the country or did the home office make the right decision?
