Peter Murphy's residency at The Chapel in San Francisco has hit another snag. The previously postponed two week engagement was scheduled to kick off January 26th however due to visa issues, Murphy was unable to enter the U.S. and still remains in Turkey. He is optimistic the situation will be resolved shortly and has shuffled around a couple of residency dates.
Read Murphy's full statement on the situation here and view the updated residency schedule here:
After an unforeseen and unanticipated delay, Peter is nearing the top of the visa application list at the US Consulate. Due to a brief diplomatic spat last year between the US and Turkey resulting in a temporary mutual ban on visa issuances to each country, a backlog of Turkish applicants has seen Peter’s own caught up in the pile. Despite the best efforts of the entire team working on these shows, as of today, Saturday’s Love Hysteria show is being moved to a later slot within the residency dates.
So Peter is waiting to get his visa approval in Istanbul and to fly as soon as his visa is in hand, and his full band and crew are all in San Francisco. They are all ready and primed to start the residency, and will probably play the first show at triple speed due to letting out the tension and excitement to finally be playing these shows for all of you. Once Peter Murphy is in the building twill be announced. He’ll most likely fly, and after 18 hrs in the air, land running and on stage that night.
