Bells Larsen Says He Can’t Get a Visa to Tour the U.S. as a Trans Man: ‘Crushed My Dreams’
Bells Larsen cancelled his upcoming U.S. tour after being told he cannot apply for a U.S. visa under the Trump administration's anti-trans new policy.
Canadian singer-songwriter Bells Larsen is cancelling his forthcoming U.S. tour after the Trump administration made it impossible for him to travel in the country as a trans man. In a lengthy post to his Instagram on Friday (April 11), Larsen revealed that, according to an email from the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), he would not be able to apply for a travel visa to the United States since his Canadian passport designates his gender rather than his biological sex. The singer-songwriter was set to bring his forthcoming new album Blurring Time stateside this June, with dates in Boston, New York City and Los Angeles throughout the month.
