Pop star Leah Dou begins her first UK tour

Chinese fans turned out in force at London's O2 stadium on Wednesday night to see 19-year-old singer Leah Dou launch her first UK tour as a supporting act for the indie pop band Bastille.

The Beijing-based musician is the daughter of pop diva Faye Wong and combustible rock star Dou Wei - a now-divorced couple equivalent to Beyonce and Jay Z in terms of star power in China.

"Hello, I'm Leah, and I'm from China," Dou introduced herself to the packed audience at the United Kingdom's second-biggest venue, as the first riffs of the jazzy Blue Flamingo played. She gripped the mic and looked like she belonged.
