Oasis Chinese concerts cancelled...

A "bewildered" Oasis have been forced to cancel upcoming gigs in Beijing and Shanghai after Chinese authorities revoked the band's performance licences. Oasis were deemed "unsuitable" to play during the People's Republic of China's 60th anniversary year, due to their links with the Tibetan freedom movement.

Oasis were informed on 28 February that their first-ever Chinese concerts, at Beijing's Capital Arena on 3 April and Shanghai's Grand Stage on 5 April, would be cancelled. Ticket agencies were instructed to stop selling tickets and to reimburse fans who had already made purchases.
