Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Member Denied Entry To New Zealand

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Flesh-n-Bone will not be performing at tonight's sold out Christchurch show or tomorrow in Auckland - due to being denied a Working Visa. The Australian tour co-ordinators posted a message to Facebook this morning informing fans that Flesh-n-Bone, aka Stanley Howse, will no longer be attending any of the Australian or New Zealand dates, which received special billing as it was set to be the first time all five crew members performed together in Australasia.

Howse has had legal troubles in the past involving firearms. In September 2000, the Cleveland native was sent to Pleasant Valley State Prison for 12 years on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and probation violation. He was released in July 2008.

His younger brother Layzie Bone was also delayed at Los Angeles airport as the pair were planning to travel together. Therefore, Layzie will no longer be able to make the Christchurch show. However he is set to perform at the Auckland show on Thursday evening.

Ticketholders have option of a full refund and are being advised to contact the ticket provider directly.
