Rock 'supergroup' Velvet Revolver have been forced to cancel their Japanese tour after being refused entry into the country.

Immigration officials turned down the band's Visa requests for their gigs later this month due to certain members brushes with the law in the past, a decision that has left them perplexed.

A statement from the band reads, "We want to apologize to our fans in Japan that we won't be able to perform our scheduled concerts.
