Harry Connick Jr. plays solo after Chinese officials censor playlist Last Updated: Thursday, March 13, 2008 | 9:55 AM CBC News
American jazz singer and pianist Harry Connick Jr. was forced to play by himself at a concert in China after officials refused to allow him to perform a revised set list for his show in Shanghai.
Connick revealed Thursday that an old song list was mistakenly submitted to Chinese authorities ahead of last weekend's concert.
Foreign performers are required to hand over set lists in order to get a permit to play in China.
Officials insisted Connick play the songs on the submitted list, even though his band did not have the music for them.
"Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to give my fans in China the show I intended," Connick said in a statement. Reports say Connick ended up playing the piano by himself with the band sitting silent on the stage.
