Visa issues cited again as reason

Sam Sparro has cancelled his forthcoming dates in the US, with visa issues given as the reason.

Sparro had rescheduled the dates after canceling shows at Santo’s Party House in New York on August 5, as well as two in Los Angeles on August 6 and 9.

Sparro rescheduled the dates for September, but a listing on the website of the Music Hall Of Williamsburg announced he will not be playing there due to more visa issues, as reported on Brooklyn Vegan.

The remainder of the dates are missing from his Myspace page.

Sparro also cancelled his scheduled appearance at this weekend’s V Festival.

The cancelled dates are:

Los Angeles CA El Rey Theatre (September 8)
San Francisco CA The Independent (9)
Seattle WA Neumos (10)
Toronto ON The Mod Club (12)
Chicago IL Subterranean (13)
Boston MA Paradise (14)
New York, NY Le Poisson Rouge, (16)
