After two years of performing around the globe, Hong Kong's "God of Songs" Jacky Cheung is set to conclude his "60+ Concert Tour" today (Jan. 24) with a highly anticipated final show. Wearing a black hoodie, Cheung participated in a traditional blessing ceremony alongside Emperor Group Chairman Albert Yeung and others, hoping for a smooth and successful performance.
Large crowds of fans from Beijing, South Korea, and other regions gathered outside the Hong Kong Coliseum to show their support. The scene was packed with people from Cheong Wan Road to the bridges leading to Fortune Metropolis, creating a sea of enthusiastic supporters. Some fans brought flowers, banners, and even small gifts to cheer for the music legend.
During a media interview, Cheung expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support of his fans, noting that he recognized many familiar faces in the crowd. He emphasized that their companionship has been essential to his perseverance and hoped for a flawless performance later in the evening.
Reflecting on the tour's impressive 324-show schedule, Cheung shared his joy and gratitude for being able to continue performing at his age. He remarked, "This is not a full stop; there's still room to move forward."
When asked about fans' wishes for him to perform until the age of 90 or even 100, Cheung laughed and said, "It's easy to say, but difficult to achieve." He also praised Woo Fung for hosting a concert at the age of 94 and continuing to chase his dreams.
According to records, Cheung's "60+ Concert Tour" began in June 2023 in Macao and has since toured cities including HK, Beijing, Shenzhen, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, and more. The tour has now reached an astounding total of 324 shows.
This milestone also marks the first time Cheung's personal concert count has exceeded 1,000, while his performances at the Hong Kong Coliseum have surpassed those of Alan Tam, cementing his position as a legend in HK's music history.
