Rock Band ‘Falling in Reverse’ had to announce the cancellation of their Glasgow show due to an unfortunate circumstance. This is following the decision to deny a UK visa to lead singer Ronnie Radke on account of his previous conviction. Radke served two and a half years in prison in 2008 for violating probation related to a 2006 incident involving brass knuckles during an altercation.
According to the band, present UK policies bar visa applicants who have served more than 12 months in prison, preventing them from continuing with their intended performances. This is yet another disappointment for the band after it cancelled recent dates on its European leg.
The latest development is one of several setbacks for the band following the cancellation of several recent European tour dates.
An official statement from Falling in Reverse stated that they are sad, but they assure their fans that they have decided to reschedule for the shows in 2025. “We are saddened to announce that Ronnie’s visa application was denied by the Home Office,” the band announced. “We will cancel the shows and reschedule for next year while trying to fix the problem.”
Fans of Falling in Reverse have been sharing frustrations on social media over how they planned the tour.

Comments ranged from disappointment to anger, with some accusing the band of mismanagement and failing to anticipate visa issues.
The band’s most popular MonsTOUR II: World Domination was to be a big deal, coming as it did after an origin story that traced back to the days when the original members of Falling in Reverse first began forming during Radke’s time in prison.
Those who are unable to attend the new dates are receiving refunds, and the group is promising to keep their fans updated on any developments.
Falling in Reverse is optimistic that it will return to the UK to perform for its zealous followers.
Their album ‘Popular Monster’ has topped the US Mainstream Rock chart beaming with millions of streams on Spotify alone.
