Short story:

In the middle of a chaotic Asian tour, The Zombies fly from Hong Kong back to Manila, Philippines, to play a handful of club dates.

Full article:

Paul Atkinson (The Zombies) : In Hong Kong, we had plotted with (local Decca Records executive) Cheng and another promoter to come back to the Philippines and do another two weeks of shows around the islands. We came in, and we played in another part of Luzon - we played there, flew to the next island, opened up the morning paper and the club we'd played at the night before had burned down. Played a club that night, next day it burned down. We were scared, but Cheng said Araneta won't harm you, he's gonna get the promoters', so we did our two weeks and just ran to the airport and flew back to London.
