Venezuelan organizers last week announced that Sanz's sold-out Feb. 14 concert in Caracas was canceled because it lacked "the appropriate conditions." A November concert also was scrapped when officials withdrew permission to use a government auditorium.
Sanz's criticism of President Hugo Chavez led Venezuelan officials to declare he is not welcome in the country - though ticket sales to fans might indicate otherwise.
Sanz closed a Sunday concert in the Dominican Republic by dedicating a song to his Venzuelan fans: "a bunch of people in a country where I cannot go."
