Music legend Bob Dylan has been given the green signal by China's Ministry of Culture to play his first-ever concerts in the country. According to a notice on the Ministry's website,the 69-year-old singer will be allowed to perform in Beijing between March 30 and April 12. Dylan also applied to play a gig in Shanghai,but the Ministry has yet to announce approval for that request,reported Rolling Stone online. His planned shows in Beijing and Shanghai last year were canceled as a result of complications with the Ministry and an apparent financial dispute with a Taiwanese promoter. The 'Like A Rolling Stone' hitmaker applied again more recently to add stops in China to a larger Asian tour that includes scheduled shows in Taiwan,Hong Kong and Singapore. The approval notice for Dylan's appearance in Beijing will require him to stick with a set list that has been vetted by Chinese officials.
