Miley Cyrus has been banned from performing in the Dominican Republic on moral grounds due to her controversial stage antics.

They stated: "[Miley] undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law."

Tickets for the gig have been on sale since July and some were being sold for more than £200.
