A beloved singer shocked fans with a major announcement at her concert.
56-year-old Cantopop singer and actress Vivian Chow rose to fame in the 1990s and has remained popular in Hong Kong ever since. In addition to Cantopop, she has also released Mandopop, J-Pop, and Gospel music.
On August 31, during her concert in Macau, Chow tearfully announced that her current solo world tour, A Long and Lasting Love, would be her last. Although she is not retiring from the entertainment industry entirely, she is retiring from the stage and will no longer hold concerns.
This tour is about performing with a pure heart and singing for those who love me. As life moves into different stages, the things we pursue change a lot. Every show on this tour has been a countdown. This should be my last major solo concert.
— Vivan Choiw
Instead, she will be focusing on her health, her family, and her aging cats.
My cats are also getting older. I hope to spend more time with my cats and my husband.
— Vivian Chow
This is not the first time the star has decided to step back from the spotlight. After her contract with her agency expired in 1997, Chow semi-retired from the entertainment industry in 1998 to pursue other passions such as painting and writing. She made her comeback in 2004 and went on to perform on stage for the next twenty years.
