Megadeth's Beijing Show Canceled By Censorship Officials

During their show in Beijing on October 6th, Megadeth was abruptly canceled only an hour into their performance allegedly because of Chinese Censorship Officials.

After finishing "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" Dave Mustane politely waved and thanked the audience for attending the show, "Thank you for leaving so that we can come back and play again."

According to The Wall Street Journal, "authorities [in China] require entertainment companies to jump through hoops, submitting minute details of their show, including set lists. The process reflects the control held by China's censors, who try to prevent incidents like one in 2008, in which Icelandic singer Bjork sang at a Shanghai concert about the ever-politically sensitive issue of Tibetan freedom."
