BVB Denied Entry To Vancouver, Forced To Cancel Show

Black Veil Brides had to pull out of their Vancouver show last night after being denied entry at the Canadian border.

The Resurrection Tour, a co-headliner featuring Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria, was set to hit Vancouver last night, but the Canadian border guards had other plans.

Vocalist Andy Biersack released a statement on Twitter:

"This morning we arrived at the Canadian border in order to gain access to a country that we have not only played countless shows in but also recorded an album and spent a great deal of time in over the years. Instead, several members of our tour were denied entry, berated and treated with utter contempt by the agents on duty. We have been touring internationally for a decade and have never experienced such a lack of civility at any border crossing or passport control in any country we have ever visited. We have a fantastic relationship with our Canadian fans and it's with a very heavy heart that we must share that we are unable to play tonight's show in Vancouver. Refunds can be obtained at the point of purchase, thank you for your understanding and we promise to return again as soon as possible. BVB"
