Inquirer.net - Gary V. was detained for four hours last week at the Qatar airport. He lost his passport while onboard a Qatar Airways plane, according to an SMS from his wife, Angeli.

Gary was released because he was a Unicef ambassador, and given a temporary entry permit. “[At first] they wanted to send him back to Dubai,” the text message said. Gary’s passport was returned to him on Tuesday, after it “went to London and back.”

Gary performed to a crowd of 3,000 in Dubai and 10,000 in Qatar, Angeli said. “It was the biggest pop concert in Qatar history in a very long time,” she added.

I think detained is not proper word to use. HELD would be more aprropraite. According to Gary V himself, he lost his passport and couldn't enter Qatar. He was at the airport and had to wait for hours. Finally, he was allowed to enter using a temprary passport. It's a surprise that only 3,000 people watched his concert in Dubai.
