Oasis went viral in China for a singer's racial slur.

It is surprising, as the band was never mainstream, even among fans of western pop music.

The topic was not about the upcoming reunion tour, but about something liam said.

There are many fans of oasis in asia, and in particular, china.

Those who have already got their tickets for the upcoming tour, as well as those who have always disliked the gallagher brothers' antagonising manner.

They were perplexed by the unprovoked insult, but people in the football sphere of social media might be expressing his frustration after the team he supports lost to al-hilal in the club world cup.

As the west argue over political statements by artists such as bob vylan, chinese fans are going through their own crises of art vs artist.
