Guy Sebastian Detained By London Airport Officials After Visa Mix-up

  • 04 March 2011

Australian singer Guy Sebastian was detained at London's Heathrow Airport earlier this week (begs28Feb11) after attempting to enter the U.K. with the wrong visa.
The star is supporting Irish boy band Boyzone on their current tour of Britain, but his arrival into the country was caught up in red tape, which caused Sebastian to miss his first scheduled performance in Newcastle, England.
He tells Australia's Fox FM, "I feel like an idiot. They (airport officials) said, 'Are you earning any money?' I said, 'No', and they said 'You're touring with Boyzone. They're huge...'
"I said, 'No seriously, I'm not earning any money', and they wouldn't believe me so I had to get some special visa approved."
