Overview
PET SHOP BOYS have had to censor their latest album after the Chinese government took offence to some lyrics.
The pop duo were forced to change the lyrics to a track on Yes, their 10th album, before it could go on sale in China.
Officials were offended by the words of Legacy, which read: "Governments fall/ Glaciers melt/ Hurricanes bawl.../ Resentment remains/ both east and west."
But singer Neil Tennant is baffled by the outrage the song has caused and said: "Does the Chinese government really fear the power of a song to bring about change?"
