Stones cancel Hong Kong concerts

British rockers The Rolling Stones have decided to postpone two Hong Kong gigs over the outbreak of SARS.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome has already killed 10 people in Hong Kong and made hundreds ill.

The Stones had been due to play two concerts this Friday and Saturday.

A statement from the band said: "Increases in the number of cases of SARS in Hong Kong and Southern China and continued concern over large gatherings have created apprehension among fans and concern for their safety."

No dates have been announced for rescheduled shows.
