Here's the full statement from Laurent.

LAURENT GARNIER
TOUR CANCELLATION STATEMENT

LAURENT GARNIER US TOUR DATES
Fri March 4 SF Ruby Skye CANCELLED
Sat March 5 LA Avalon CANCELLED
Mon March 7 NY Cielo CANCELLED

I am very sorry to have to cancel my forthcoming U.S. tour due to what I consider to be completely unreasonable demands by the U.S. Embassy in France in order to renew my work visa.

In order to obtain this new visa, the rules have once again changed since November 2004 and I would now have to not only fill out an exceedingly probing application form, but also be interviewed by a member of the Embassy staff, and provide proof of ownership of my house, details of my bank account, my mobile phone records, personal information on all my family members and more. I consider these demands to be a complete violation of my privacy and my civil liberties and I refuse to comply.

I am horrified by these new regulations and feel really sad that this is what some call freedom and democracy.

It has now become almost impossible for an artist to come and perform in the United States. And until this new proceedure changes I will unfortunately refuse to comply with this nonsense.

Thank you for your understanding.

Laurent Garnier

I don't buy it. Numerous international artists work/perform in this country daily.

Although I am not a conspiracy theorist I would bet there is another side to this story.

p.s. Im sure us Americans all have wonderfull memories of traveling to France. One of my fondest is standing in the rain on the tarmac in the Paris airport (the one that caved in on itself), getting berated by the French security while being search for the third time that hour.
