British funnyman Russell Brand was deported from Japan on Sunday because of his previous convictions, according to Katy Perry. He jetted to the country with his singer/wife's tour entourage but was allegedly held by immigration officials and subsequently expelled from Japan due to prior criminal offenses from more than a decade ago. An angry Perry took to Twitter to tell fans of Brand's deportation, writing, "My husband just got deported from Japan. I am so sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place #tokyodreamscrushed. Brand also opened up about his situation on Twitter, posting pictures of himself while in custody and making jokes about escaping.

He wrote, "Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick... Stockholm syndrome kicking in. Just asked my guard out for (vegetarian) sushi. He giggled... Alcatraz! Shawshank Redemption! And now this! Ah, sweet blue bird of freedom!..."
