Dixie Chicks to webcast London concert

The Dixie Chicks will broadcast their comeback concert in London on Thursday live on their website - and they promise not to mention US President George W Bush.

The sold-out concert will be the group's first webcast and the Chicks' first concert appearance in more than two years.

The Not Ready To make Nice singers caused an uproar during their last concert in London in 2003 when singer Natalie Maines made anti-war comments about America's presence in Iraq.

Her bandmates were then ostracised for supporting their outspoken singer, and the group's music was banned from some US country music radio stations and their records trampled underfoot at public protests.
