Chris Brown will NOT be appearing on stage in the UK this week. The US singer has been denied a visa by the Home Office because of his previous ‘criminal offence.’

Brown, 21, has been refused permission on the grounds of being guilty of a serious criminal offence, the Home Office said.

All of his gigs have now been postponed, according to reports.

‘We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns.

”Each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits,” it added.
