Tim "Ripper" Owens - Denied Entry Into The U.K.
American Tim "Ripper" Owens, who was once the singer in British metal veterans Judas Priest and Iced Earth, among other bands, before his solo career, has been denied entry into the U.K. And he didn't perform at the Wildfire Festival in Scotland as scheduled.
The festival released this statement: "It is with massive regret, that we have to announce that Tim Owens will no longer be able to play tomorrow nights show. We arrived at Glasgow Airport this morning as Tim took time out from his tour of the Ukraine to play for us at Wildfire. Unfortunately UK border patrol, will not let him into the UK at this point in time and although we are trying everything we are able, we have little say in changing the minds of such a powerful UK agency. Both Tim and Wildfire would like to offer our sincere apologies at this time."
Owens' performance was billed as an exclusive, one-off UK show where he would play songs from Priest's Live In London as well as tracks from Demolition and Jugulator, the two albums he recorded with the band.
