Spokesperson apologises to 22-year-old musician Sheku Kanneh-Mason for error and pledges to issue replacement
A
British cellist who was the first black winner of the
BBC Young Musician award in 2016 and played at the wedding of
Prince Harry and Meghan has had his passport cancelled by the Home Office.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, 22, who was born and raised in Nottingham and appeared alongside his siblings on ITV’s variety show Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, sent off his British passport as part of an application for an additional passport to assist with applications for visas and international work permits.
