HONOLULU, June 15 — Veteran Mandopop singer David Huang has died at the age of 61, his family said in a statement issued through a lawyer.

The Straits Times reported that Huang died on June 2 at his sister’s home in Honolulu, Hawaii, although the cause of death was not disclosed.

His sisters Consulina Wong and Joann Wong said in their statement that “for decades, Mr David Huang has enriched countless lives with his extraordinary musical talent, boundless passion and innate ability to connect people across the world.”

“On behalf of his family, we would like to express our sincere gratitude once again for everyone’s love and support for Mr Huang over the years.”

Huang, who was hospitalised in August 2022 for sudden cardiac discomfort and underwent a cardiac catheterisation, had previously said he did not suffer from chronic illness.

He was born in Hong Kong and moved to Hawaii at the age of three before entering the Mandopop industry in 1988.

He became known for hits such as You Make Me Drunk and Let Everyone Heartbroken, and he won accolades including Best Arranger at the Golden Melody Awards.

According to the family statement, Huang relocated from Taiwan to Hawaii in December 2025 to live with his sisters, who are listed as the sole heirs to his estate.

The statement also said that his musical assets are being managed by the law firm that issued the announcement.

Huang’s long‑time girlfriend and manager Vicky Chao disputed the statement when contacted by a Chinese media outlet, saying the appointment of the law firm and the statement itself “are not legal,” and she vowed to pursue legal action.
