Adelaide band The Beards cancel US and Canadian tour after being denied visas ADELAIDE's premier hirsute band The Beards have been forced to cancel their upcoming US and Canadian tour after they were denied performance visas. The popular group made the announcement on their website and on their Twitter account, apologising to fans and offering full refunds. The quartet say the US consulate have yet to give a reason for knocking them back. Is it all part of a government conspiracy to halt the glorious rise of the beard? You be the judge..." they wrote on Twitter. Even though the tour cancellation is devastating news, we urge you not to shave your beards off in protest. The Beards say they will appeal the decision and if overturned, will head back to play the shows as soon as possible.
