Oasis get in scuffle with Chinese government

Oasis had been due to play China, only now they're not. Why?

Depends on who you believe, really. The promoter suggests that the economic downturn was the reason; the band insist permission to reform was revoked when the Chinese government discovered Noel Gallagher once took part in a Free Tibet concert.

Hard to believe that Noel Gallagher ever stood up about anything, other than Jay-Z playing Glastonbury.
