Current Headlines: US rappers Snoop Dogg and P Diddy have cancelled their joint UK tour after Snoop Dogg was denied a visa.

The duo were to play five dates this week.

Snoop - real name Calvin Broadus - accepted a police caution after being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray at Heathrow airport last April.

"P Diddy and Snoop were incredibly disappointed by the news. They really did not want to let fans down this way as the UK was a highlight of the tour," a spokesman said. Ticketholders can claim refunds.
