Default Bjork makes 'free Tibet' gesture

The Icelandic singer, Bjork, has caused controversy among fans in China by shouting "Tibet! Tibet!" at the end of a concert in Shanghai.
The cry followed a powerful performance of her song Declare Independence.

Talk of Tibetan independence is considered taboo in China, which has ruled the territory since 1951.

Although some at the concert appear not to have heard Bjork's protest on Sunday, there was an uneasy response from other fans.
