Jacky Cheung's encore concerts at Singapore Indoor Stadium slated for Nov 21 to 23

New Paper10-06-2025

If you failed to nab a ticket to one of Jacky Cheung's 11 sold-out gigs in Singapore in 2023, here is your second chance.
The Hong Kong Heavenly King will stage three encore concerts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Nov 21, 22 and 23, as part of the same 60+ Concert Tour.
Ticket prices - from $168 to $388 - are identical to that of his 2023 shows here.
Priority sales for KrisFlyer members begin on July 2 from 10am to 11.59pm, and for OCBC cardmembers on July 3 from 10am to 11.59pm. General sales begin on July 4 at 10am.
The tour has travelled across Asia, and will stage encore shows in cities such as Macau, Kuala Lumpur and Suzhou.
Cheung's show business career began in 1984 when he joined PolyGram Records, which later became a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.
On Feb 23, the 63-year-old singer-actor celebrated a career milestone when he performed his 1,000th concert - and 218th show of the 60+ Concert Tour - in the Chinese city of Haikou.
He became the first Chinese artiste to surpass the 1,000-concert milestone, joining the same league as American singer Bruce Springsteen and American rock band Bon Jovi, who are known to have also achieved the feat.
To celebrate the occasion, Universal Music Greater China's management team attended the concert and presented Cheung with a special gift, honouring his remarkable influence and legacy over the past four decades.

Cheung reportedly said that evening: "What do 1,000 concerts mean to me? It is a reflection of the past 40 years, where I have spent nearly 3,000 hours standing on this stage.
"I have poured all my sincerity and love into every performance. To every fan who has supported me, whether you are here with me tonight or not, my journey has been shaped by your unwavering love and encouragement... Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
In a press statement, the star added: "I give my best at every show and am deeply humbled by the immense support from my fans."

Chris Brown pleads not guilty to assault charge in UK court, Entertainment News

Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) after an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub in 2023. The 36-year-old singer is accused of assaulting the music producer Abraham Diaw at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair in February 2023 in an incident that has been described as "unprovoked" by prosecutors. Brown also faces charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and having an offensive weapon in the form of a tequila bottle relating to the same incident and both charges were added to his indictment ahead of Friday morning's (June 20) hearing at Southwark Crown Court - which came just hours after he had performed at Cardiff's Principality Stadium as part of his Breezy Bowl XX World Tour. The Beautiful People hitmaker will return to court on July 11 to enter pleas to those charges before facing trial on Oct 26, 2026. Brown confirmed his name and date of birth at the hearing before entering his plea, stating: "Not guilty ma'am." The music star's co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu - an American national who performs under the name HoodyBaby - also entered a not guilty plea to the charge of grievous bodily harm. Brown was arrested in Manchester last month after his arrival in the UK to prepare for a series of European dates on his world tour . The R+B star was held in custody for nearly a week before he was released after agreeing to pay a £5 million (S$8.7m) security fee to the court. The security fee is a financial guarantee to ensure he returns to court and Brown could be asked to forfeit the money should he breach his bail conditions. Judge Tony Baumgartner confirmed that the singer would be allowed to continue his world tour and the UK leg started last weekend. During his gig in Manchester last Sunday (June 15), Brown thanked fans "for coming and supporting me". The Go Crazy singer quipped: "And thank you to the jail. It was really nice." Brown's tour - which marks the 20th anniversary of his eponymous debut album - continues with two gigs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this weekend and his next court hearing will take place once the European dates are complete.

Ex-assistant to Sean ‘Diddy' Combs says job included buying drugs, setting up sex parties

PHOTO: REUTERS Ex-assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs says job included buying drugs, setting up sex parties NEW YORK - Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former personal assistant testified on June 20 at the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial that he often bought drugs for his boss and set up hotel rooms for sex parties known as 'wild king nights.' Prosecutors hope the testimony by Brendan Paul, who worked for Combs from late 2022 through March 2024, will help them prove their racketeering conspiracy charge against Combs. Prosecutors say Combs used his businesses' resources to coerce women into ecstasy-fuelled sexual performances with male sex workers. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all five criminal counts. His lawyers call the sexual activity consensual. The Bad Boy Records founder, a former billionaire who elevated hip-hop in American culture, could face life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors are winding down their case after six weeks, with defense witnesses expected to testify next week. Paul, testifying under immunity from prosecutors, said he bought Combs about US$4,200 (S$5,400) of marijuana and hundreds of dollars of ketamine during his employment. Jurors saw a text message in which Paul asked Combs' security staff to be reimbursed for his drug purchases. They also saw a Feb 14, 2024 text message in which Combs wrote 'You get me zans,' which Paul said was a request to procure Xanax without a prescription. Paul said Combs ultimately obtained Xanax elsewhere, and used cocaine and ecstasy in his presence. Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Brian Steel, Paul said procuring drugs was a minor part of his job, and he thought the drugs were solely for Combs' personal use. 'You were not some drug mule?' Steel asked. 'Absolutely not,' Paul said. Brendan Paul, former assistant of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, leaving court after testifying, on June 20. PHOTO: REUTERS Paul also said that before three or four 'wild king nights,' he stocked hotel rooms with lubricant, baby oil, liquor and a Gucci pouch filled with hard drugs. When Combs was done, Paul said he would put on gloves and clean up to avoid being billed by hotels for damage. Paul said he was charged with cocaine possession after being arrested on March 25, 2024, at Miami-Opa Locka airport in Florida while travelling to the Bahamas with Combs and other staffers. He said he put the cocaine in his bag after finding it while cleaning Combs' room that day, but forgot about it and did not tell law enforcement where it came from. Asked by prosecutor Christy Slavik why he kept silent, Paul said, 'Loyalty.' Paul said the cocaine charge was dropped.
