Cheb Khaled - Live in Concert?

So I am a huge Cheb Khaled fan. For those of you who don't know who he is, you'd better find out. For those of you who DO know who he is, read on....

I went to see him LIVE IN CONCERT last year in Groningen, The Netherlands. He was AWESOME. I mean, he had the whole crowd going crazy. All of his songs were incredible--even though I had no idea what he was saying. The band with him was phenomenal as well. I tried to tape most of the show with my digital camera but needed enough space on it for the Aicha performance (which of course was at the end).

So my question for tonight is: why doesn't he perform here in the States? I know most of his fans are not from here but I'm sure if he performs, he'd fill up the venue--no doubt about it. I read somewhere a while ago as to why he doesn't come here to perform--and that's because he's scared someone is going to kill him. Seriously, I mean he ran away from Algeria and from the fanatics who KILL because they don't like the music. I don't blame him for that, but how about Canada? Can't he perform there? I know fans from here would travel to go see him there.

Any thoughts?
