KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 ― Some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry have agreed to perform in the concert to commemorate the passing of Hong Kong singer-actor Leslie Cheung on April 1.

In a statement, the organiser YouTube channel HiEggo said the performers are Samuel Hui Koon-kit, Karen Joy Morris (better known as Karen Mok), Hacken Lee Hak-kan and Julian Cheung Chi-lam.

The concert, "In Loving Memory of Leslie Cheung Online Concert 2021”, will air on HiEggo’s YouTube channel and Facebook page from 7.30pm to 8.30pm at Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui’s Ocean Terminal rooftop.

Concert creative director Lawrence Cheng Tan-shui and concert director Patrick Siu Chiu-shun

said the aspiration of hosting the concert was to provide positive energy for the Hong Kong people during the pandemic.

HiEggo had previously held two successful online concerts, "Sam Hui Online Concert 2020” and "Aaron Kwok Cheer up & Dance Online Charity Concert 2020”.

"With the addition of memorable songs and performances from Leslie Cheung, the trilogy of concerts will bring back the glorious memories of Cantonese pop classics.”
