According to the BBC it was Wham, but that was 1986 so the BBC are ****ing idiots,
but some say country and western singer John Denver played there in 1981 before Jarre.
True or not?

On April 7, 1985, Wham! made history by becoming the first Western "POP GROUP" to perform in China.

Yeah, but what about John Denver?
It seems he spent a month in China in 1981, but not sure if he actually played concerts there.
