Australian fans of The Game will be disappointed to learn that rapper has been forced to cancel his short tour of that country. The four-date run was set to kick off on Monday, Feb. 22, but had to be nixed at the last possible moment due to the rapper lacking the necessary work visa. The news was broke by TMZafter being informed of the snafu by The Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
According to a statement from Metropolis Touring which was set to handle the quick live jaunt, “Unfortunately the tour by The Game is now canceled. All ticket holders will be entitled to a refund from point of purchase. Please allow a few days for us to liaise with the ticketing companies but we will work as quickly as possible to organize this and keep everyone updated. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”
