"Never Again!" says Kelly Clarkson & The Chinese Ministry of Culture to the prospect of future Björkian performances in the country . The Ministry issued a statement complaining that an outburst during a March Volta performance "broke Chinese law and hurt Chinese people's feelings." Apparently, she took time out of her thrashing Declare Independence to deliver a little public service announcement, shouting out: "Tibet!" Tibet, for around 60 years now, has been under Chinese rule; the arrangement has never been without its dose of controversy.
The Ministry of Culture's website made a statement. Reuters Quotes: "Any artistic group or individual who [has] ever engaged in activities that threaten national sovereignty will not be allowed in." What's more, any entertainers who "threaten national unity," "whip up ethnic hatred," "violate religious policy or cultural norms," or "advocate obscenity or feudalism and superstition" during live events will also be BANNED from performance.
Wow. Sounds like a fun place to be-what a ball of freedom. If I were Björk, I'd be just dying to play another show in China. Pfffttt.
Anyway... Here is the famous freak out at the airport. C'mon now, it never gets old.
Imagine Björk is your mother-just for a second:
