Cancelled! Dylan Not Coming To Asia!

Sorry folks! Bob Dylan won’t be traveling across the Pacific to see you Asian peeps! His people have just announced that his planned stops in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong have been scrapped.

But don’t blame him – blame China!

The Chinese government refused Dylan permission to perform in the country due to his “politically charged” lyrics. Officials are fearful that the folk singer will pull a Bjork, who two years ago, while performing in the country, made an onstage protest about the Chinese occupation of Tibet.

The Chinese will have none of that now, so Dylan is out!

Boo! We’re sure if you asked nice, he would have behaved! Maybe…
