Canadian Musician Bells Larsen Cancels U.S. Dates After Change in Visa Policy: "Because I'm Trans, I Can't Tour in the States"

Larsen tells Billboard Canada he was told by the American Federation of Musicians that "U.S. Immigration now only recognizes identification that corresponds with one’s assigned sex at birth," leading him to cancel a tour supporting his upcoming album, Blurring Time.

Montreal-based singer-songwriter Bells Larsen is cancelling his U.S. tour due to changes in Visa policies.

Larsen was set to play eight American cities in support of his upcoming record, Blurring Time, an album thematically inspired by his transition, which drops on April 25 via Royal Mountain Records.
