“I’ve been advised that it would jeopardize my freedom to try and enter again,” the musician said in a statement revealing that two separate attempts were unsuccessful <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tCharley Crockett<\/a> has canceled a string of shows scheduled in Canada over the next two weeks. In a statement shared on Instagram, the musician regretfully informed fans that he was denied entry into the country on two occasions this past weekend. The restriction stems from his felony conviction for marijuana possession dating back to 2014.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEverybody\u2019s got a past. Mine\u2019s still haunting me,\u201d Crockett wrote on Instagram. He attempted to enter Canada first through Vancouver, where he was promptly detained. He later made another attempt through Kelowna. After the second rejection, he wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve been advised that it would jeopardize my freedom to try and enter again.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe report issued to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada notes that if Crockett had been detained in Canada for the same charges he faced in Virginia, the offense \u201cwould be punishable by a term of life imprisonment.\u201d In March 2016, Crockett received a suspended sentence and was fined in addition to being placed on probation. <\/p>\n

\n\tCrockett\u2019s Canadian tour was scheduled to begin on Feb. 23 in Edmonton. Additional stops were set for Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Niagara Falls through March 6. He has performed in most of these cities as recently as 2024. Crockett will resume touring with more shows in the U.S. beginning March 7.<\/p>\n

\n\tCanadian ticket holders will receive refunds at their point of purchase, though Crockett hopes to make it up to them eventually. \u201cI apologize to everyone affected. I know I let y\u2019all down,\u201d he wrote. \u201cCanada\u2019s such a beautiful country full of some of the best fans in the world, and I\u2019ve had the time of my life playing shows for y\u2019all. I ain\u2019t one to quit and I aim to be back one of these days real soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
