R. Kelly was late for his late for his previous court appearance and the judge has come to anticipate it.

It has been reported that R. Kelly will have to miss his January 13 concert after a judge ordered him to cancel it. The R'n'B singer who supposed to perform in Virginia that day, will have to show up for a court date the following day.
This has stemmed from his failure to show up in a scheduled court appearance earlier on Wednesday, December 19 after his tour bus was delayed in Utah because, reportedly, it was stopped for speeding. In anticipation, Judge Vince Gaughan has ordered him to skip the show at Hampton Coliseum.
There is still no confirmation of the cancellation from Kelly's camp and his official site still keeps the date within the schedule. The tour is to support his 2007 release, 'Double Up'.
Kelly is to face the 14 counts of child pornography that had been imposed to him after a sex tape of him and an underage girl was leaked in 2002. He could face 15 years in prison if convicted.
Earlier this month, the singer who is nominated for two Grammys next year, has faced some trouble from activists who forced him to cancel the entire tour and make amends for his 'sin' instead of roaming about. An activist said, "Everyone is making money, and everyone seems OK with him. People really need to wake up."
