Pop-music duo's Christmas show canceled amid drug allegations

It has become an eight-year tradition for Chinese pop duo Yu Quan to hold a concert on Christmas Day.

However, while fans hoped to attend their annual Christmas concert, which was scheduled to be held at Beijing Workers' Gymnasium on Dec 25, the duo have been forced to cancel the show, during which they planned to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

On Nov 28, singer-songwriter Chen Yufan, one half of Yu Quan, was arrested on a charge of alleged use and possession of drugs, according to the Beijing police.
