Snoop and Diddy cancel British tour

US rappers Snoop Dogg and P Diddy have cancelled their British tour after Snoop Dogg was denied a visa.

The duo were due to play five dates this week. But his visa application was turned down – leaving the pair “incredibly disappointed”.

Dates for Dublin on March 31 and April 1 will go ahead as planned.

Snoop — real name Calvin Broadus — accepted a police caution after being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray at Heathrow airport in April last year.

A tour spokesman said: “Despite desperate attempts to have the One Love Peace Tour UK shows go ahead as planned, the tour has been cancelled.’’ Ticket holders can claim refunds.
