The Rolling Stones went ahead with a concert in Singapore on Wednesday despite an outbreak of deadly flu in the city state that has claimed one life and pushed more than 700 people into quarantine. However, the Stones canceled performances Friday and Saturday in Hong Kong, where many have been wearing surgical masks in public hoping to avoid the disease.

Singer Andy Williams postponed an April 12 Hong Kong concert because of the outbreak.
