Alejandro Sanz Postpones Concert After Venezuela Denies Access To State-Controlled Stadium

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Alejandro Sanz postponed a November concert until next year after Venezuela's government blocked him from using a state-controlled stadium because of his past criticism of President Hugo Chavez.
Responding to questions about Chavez prior to a 2004 referendum on the president's rule, the Spanish singer said: ''I don't like your president. I don't like those from other places either.''
Sanz, who is immensely popular in Venezuela, will now perform Feb. 14. Concert promoter Envenpro said Tuesday it was searching for a new venue for the already sold-out show.
Weeks ago, Higher Education Minister Luis Acuna said the 38-year-old Sanz wouldn't be allowed to perform at the state-controlled Poliedro but could hold his show at a private venue.
Chavez, a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, warned in July that foreigners who publicly criticize him or his government while visiting Venezuela would be expelled from the country.
