Country singer Charley Crockett has canceled his nine-date Canadian tour after being turned away twice at the Canadian border. The “Welcome to Hard Times” artist shared the news with fans on Instagram on February 23, posting a photo of a letter from The Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, which denied him entry to the country “on grounds of serious criminality.”
“Everybody’s got a past. Mine’s still haunting me,” Crockett wrote in the post. The issue stems from a 2016 felony conviction related to the possession of over five pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute. Crockett was arrested after a traffic stop in 2014 when state troopers found 6.6 pounds of marijuana in his car.
