Snoop Dogg and P Diddy have been left with no choice but to cancel their UK arena tour this week, following the government's decision to deny Snoop a visa to enter the country.
The hip hop titans were set to perform five large UK shows in London, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow and Cardiff, which have now all been scrapped. Irish fans however, will still get the chance to watch the pair perform in Dublin on March 31st.
The duo were due to perform a string of arena dates in London, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow and Nottingham, but Snoop was refused entry because of his criminal record.
According to organisers, "incredible behind the scenes efforts were made to no avail to reverse the decision." While Snoop Dogg himself told MTV:
"They knew I was coming six, seven weeks ago, so they could have denied me access then. I cannot control my past - me being an ex-gang member, ex-drug dealer - but I know how to do what's right, how to turn my life around."
