Zac Brown Band canceled a concert performance that was scheduled for Vancouver on Friday night after some members of the group's entourage were denied entry into the country at the border.
A source said Brown and the band and crew members were detained in Vancouver for two hours because a handful of crew members had old legal charges "that had been expunged years and years ago."
"Zac refused to leave his crew members behind because they're like a family, so he decided to cancel the show. He's super upset about it because he loves his fans but he always says his crew — they're like a family."
In a statement to People, Zac Brown Band said, "Some of our crew members had charges on their records from over a decade ago that have since been removed. Our team has regularly performed in Canada for 10 years, including two performances this year alone," the statement continues, adding that when the group travels to Canada, everyone is "at the mercy of a single border agent who decides who is allowed in to work, and unfortunately, not everyone was able to make it in the country last night."
"We are a family, a tribe. We stick together and support each other and we never leave anyone behind. As a band who prides themselves on showing up with excitement and professionalism, we will always play where we are welcome and appreciated, and we're so sorry we can't be there tonight."
