So was China

During a gig in Shanghai last week the Icelandic singer shouted "Tibet" at the crowd at the end of what the Xinhua news agency said was an "unapproved song", Declare Independence.

It quoted the Chinese ministry of culture condemning the protest, saying the "political show has not only broken Chinese laws and regulations and hurt the feeling of Chinese people, but also went against the professional code of an artist".

Future artists coming to perform in China will face greater regulation and more scrutiny if they want to play in the communist country.
