There's no hope.

The U.S. won't budge and has totally denied Boy George's appeal of the country's decision to to deny his work visa request to enter.

As a result, the singer's summer tour has just been postponed until next year!

In a statement, George said:

“I was really hoping that the issue would be resolved and that some kind soul at the US Visa Office would realize that if the police in the UK placed no restrictions on my movements, that should have been good enough for them. I am very sorry that I will not see all my American fans this year, but I wish them a happy and healthy Fourth of July. I include the Visa Office in those good wishes and realize they are doing a very difficult job and I just got unlucky.”

How politically correct!

B.G. will soldier on with a South American tour in September and a 25-date tour across the UK in October of this year.

The singer's North American dates will be rescheduled for Winter 2009.

Hope he'll have more luck with the U.S. Visa folks in '09!

Boy George has offered to sweep the streets of New York again, if U.S. authorities let him enter the country to perform there.

The '80s pop star has been forced to cancel an American tour after he was denied a visa, because he stands accused of assaulting a male escort in the U.K., a charge he denies.

George performed community service with New York's sanitation department in August 2006, after he was convicted of falsely reporting a burglary and possession of drugs.

And he is prepared to perform the civic duty again -- if it will help his current case.

Speaking on NBC's "The Today Show" on Friday, the 47-year-old said, "If you let me in I'll take the broom, no problem.

"Everyone says it should be a humiliating experience. Does that mean the people who sweep are humiliated? I thought it was a good experience."

But he insists he will perform in America again, vowing to return next year: "I'm feeling very upbeat. What good is anger?

"It's disappointing because of the fans, but if it doesn't happen now, it'll happen in the New Year. It's not over. It's not like I'm going to have to continue my career via satellite! I will come back.

"If I have to wait, it'll be even better."

Despite being shut out from a U.S. tour by immigration officials, '80s pop icon Boy George is spreading love, not anger, toward America. The controversial singer was set to start his tour with a live performance on TODAY July 7 — until he found his visa application turned down by authorities because of an impending criminal trial in London.

Still, George bears no malice, he told TODAY's Meredith Vieira in an exclusive interview via satellite. “I'm feeling very upbeat at the moment,” the singer said. “Yes, it's disappointing because of the fans and a lot of people have bought airline tickets, so I'm disappointed for them. But if [the tour] doesn't happen now, it will happen in the new year.”

The London native born George O'Dowd was arrested last year on charges of assault and false imprisonment after a male escort told police that George and another man had handcuffed him to a hook on a bed in George's London apartment. Thus, while a November trial date looms, the U.S. has blocked his travel plans. U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey indicated there “are often difficulties for individuals who either are currently subject to criminal charges or otherwise may have criminal records.”

While Boy George's legal team continues to petition authorities to grant him a visa that would allow him to make good on his TODAY appearance and subsequent 24-city U.S. tour, he says he's learning to take life's difficulties in stride. The singer's honey voice and androgynous garb brought him fame with his band Culture Club, which scored six No. 1 hits from 1982 through 1985, before George's addiction to heroin sidelined the group.

No ‘hissy fit'
George told Vieira: “I'm sober; I've put my head back on the right way. I'm very happy at the moment — that kind of dictates how I react to certain situations.” He also made light of his fellow Brit Naomi Campbell, the international supermodel who found herself in legal hot water after scrapping with a police officer at London's Heathrow Airport in April.

“I'm not going to have a Naomi hissy fit,” George said, laughing. “I'm not going to get wound up — there's no point.”

George, 48, famously faced the U.S. legal system in 2006 after being charged with falsely reporting a burglary at an apartment he keeps in New York City. When police responded to his complaint, they found cocaine in his apartment, and George spent five days cleaning the streets of Gotham in August 2006 as part of a community service agreement.

He said he believes “I've paid my dues” to the U.S. — but looks back fondly on his job as a street sweeper, despite a famous dustup with a pack of press who tailed George during his grimy work.

“I got so much love from the people of New York every day, people were so supportive,” George said. “I was getting honks, and people coming out of manholes going, ‘Go on, George!' I was surprised by how much affection I received. Everyone talks about it being a humiliating experience. I didn't feel humiliated. I thought it was a really good experience.”

‘It's not over'
George is confident that even if his appeals to immigration authorities don't yield him a visa now, he will still return to the U.S. after he winds his way through his November trial. “It's not over,” he told Vieira. “It's not like I'm going to have to do my career in America by satellite!”

Since his mid-'80s heyday, George has recorded sporadically as a solo artist; performed as a club DJ; written two books, and staged a musical based on his life. He's still proceeding with plans to tour England while he awaits his day in court.

“I have a great band and I'm really excited about doing my music again,” the singer said. “But to get all upset about it, it's not going to help anybody.”

George promised Vieira he'd make good on his TODAY appearance once his legal issues are resolved — and he promised to bring her a present when he does. Throughout the interview, Vieira admired the bright red, wide-brimmed hat with gold stars George had perched atop his head.

“I'll bring you one!” George promised.
