However, the festival's organisers released a statement on Friday
(13Jan12) apologising to ticketholders when the hip-hop legend
pulled out after scrapping all dates in Europe.
The statement reads, "We are sad to announce that Snoop Dogg has
cancelled his European tour which unfortunately means he is unable
to appear at Snowbombing 2012.
"We are extremely disappointed but we are now working around the
clock to replace him. We will have an update for you soon."
The scrapped tour comes weeks after Snoop Dogg was arrested and
booked on misdemeanour drug possession charges in Texas.
He was previously banned from entering Britain in 2006 when he was
arrested following a fracas at London's Heathrow Airport, prompting
officials to deny him entry in 2007. The rapper appealed, and the
ruling was reversed in 2010.
