While fans and friends were furious over the Eason Chan death hoax, the singer himself seemed to take it in stride as he updated his fans on social media recently.
On 19 May, following rumours that he has passed away, the singer, who previously had to postpone his concert after being diagnosed with COVID-19, posted a photo of a plate of barbecued pork, and wrote, “Back from the dead, time to enjoy my favourite old dish.”
The death rumour emerged shortly after Eason announced on social media that he had to postpone his concert in Kaohsiung last week. In response, singer Ip Hiu Yuet denied the rumour, saying that she had spoken to Eason’s assistant and that the singer is perfectly fine.
Eason also apologised to his Taiwanese fans for the postponement, saying that he has waited 12 years to perform in Kaohsiung and didn’t expect that it was crushed by the COVID-19 virus overnight.
“My sincere apologies for the disappointment of the audience and the troubles the team had to go through. I will follow medical advice and try to recover my health, return to Kaohsiung as soon as possible and meet everyone on stage,” he posted.
