China 'orders Stones songs ban'
The Chinese Government has ordered the Rolling Stones to drop four of their best-known songs from their concerts in the country next month, according to a tour organiser.

The band were told they cannot play Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Woman, Beast of Burden and Let's Spend the Night Together, said Chen Jixin, head of Beijing Time New Century Entertainment.

The Stones are due to play two concerts in the country, in Shanghai on 1 April and in Beijing on 4 April.

Chen said she did not know why the government had banned the four songs.

The same four were cut from the Chinese release of the band's last compilation album, 40 Licks, by the China culture ministry.

The album was the first Stones record to be released officially in the country, although pirated copies of the band's albums are widely available in Shanghai and Beijing.
