Briefly: Elton John, Little Steven's Garage Festival, Oasis

Elton John reportedly is planning an Asian tour for September that will include his first-ever concert in mainland China.

Among his planned stops are Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He's also scheduled to play a show in Seoul, marking his first performance in that city.

Earlier this week, John reportedly unveiled some of the songs he penned for "Billy Elliot: The Musical" during a London preview. The musical is scheduled to open in March 2005.
