REGGAE LEGEND Luciano will headline four shows in the United Kingdom (UK) beginning Thursday, his reps have confirmed.
The news follows claims that the Silver and Gold hitmaker had been unsuccessful in securing a visa to enter the country, forcing him to pull out of the much-anticipated Positive Vibrations tour.
Reps for the star released a statement on Friday, assuring fans that the Jamaican singer was in rehearsals and would arrive in the UK tomorrow.
“After much unfounded speculations and false rumours, which were circulating up and down the country recently that Luciano was unable to get a visa to come to England, promoters and sponsors are glad to announce that the British High Commission in Jamaica granted Luciano, The Messenger, his work visa, valid from the 6th May 2014,” the statement started.
“Luciano himself is booked on a British Airways flight, leaving Kingston on Monday May 12 and will arrive in England on the morning of Tuesday May 13, 2014.”
Though his management team is unclear how the rumors started, they confirmed Luciano, also known as The Messenger, had promised to give fans “something very special” after “being away for many years”.
The tour will also feature performances from I.Wayne, Teflon, Ras Omeek, BadRass (aka Jahfet), Hurcules and Fireflames, all backed by Mafia & Fluxy.
