The Chinese Government are taking Elton John's tirade against lip-synching to heart.

Government advisers will meet in Beijing this week to decide whether to criminalise the act of miming to a backing track.

A penalty for the crime has yet to be decided, but given China's human rights record let's hope they don't take Elton's advice that "anyone who lip-synchs on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot," too literally.
