Bob Dylan: Rocker Bob Dylan plays his first gig in China!

Rocker Bob Dylan played a concert in Beijing on Wednesday, the American music legend’s first ever gig in mainland China. His visit had to be approved by the national ministry of culture.

Officials said the singer would have to abide strictly by an agreed playlist.

Amidst a jubilant atmosphere, one fan explained the enduring appeal of the American singer’s music.

Meanwhile, Dylan is turning author — again — for his next project.

The rocker reportedly has six books in the works after a deal inked with publishers Simon & Schuster.

Dylan will pen two sequels to his best-selling Chronicles: Volume One published in 2004, according to Crain’s New York Business.

Another volume will be based on Dylan’s radio show at Sirius XM satellite radio services. It was unclear what the other three books would cover.

Chronicles was a best-seller in 2004. Dylan told Rolling Stone that good reviews of the book “some of ‘em almost made me cry — in a good way.”
