The Western press tried to make much hay about Kenny G visiting the Occupy Central blocked Admiralty area and taking pictures with demonstrators yesterday suggesting his support for them.  Well, Kenny immediately came out with a denial.  Prior to Hong Kong, he had been on tour throughout mainland China.

Jazz superstar Kenny G said he was used that he was showing support for the demonstrators in the Occupy movement.
Kenny G had a brief visit in Admiralty yesterday and he took photos with some supporters.
But he later posted on social media saying he was walking around Hong Kong and “happened to walk by the protest area”.
“I am not supporting the demonstrators as I don’t really know anything about the situation and my impromptu visit to the site was just part of an innocent walk around Hong Kong,” he wrote.
The musician also deleted the photos taken with demonstrators at the protest site.
