Mexican singer Julión Álvarez said his visa to enter the United States was revoked before a sold-out May 24 show at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

His group, Julión Álvarez y su Norteño Banda, had to postpone the evening concert at the Dallas Cowboys’ Arlington stadium with nearly 50,000 tickets sold, according to a May 23 news release.

In a video posted to Instagram, Álvarez said he was told the morning of May 23 his work visa was canceled.

“It’s not possible for us to go to the United States to fulfill our commitment to you,” Álvarez, 42, said in Spanish. “It’s a situation that’s out of our hands.”

Concert promoter CMN and Álvarez's record label Copar Music said they were looking to reschedule the performance with tickets remaining valid, the AT&T Stadium news release said. They would work to refund tickets in the coming days.

About it, like the meme coin corruption, it’s ok!!

The bald faced racism is insane. I’m waiting for Trump to say the “N” word or call someone a wetback live any second. People will brush aside because he’s not hiding it!
