Hours before they were scheduled to perform in Vancouver, Zac Brown Band canceled its Friday night show because some crew members were denied entry to Canada over expunged criminal records. “We are a family, a tribe. We stick together and support each other and we never leave anyone behind,” the country group said in a statement to People.

The whole entourage was held for two hours on Thursday night before getting the news that a few crew members were barred.
