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

PHOTO: AARIF_964/INSTAGRAM Fans could be forgiven if they thought they were seeing double at Taiwanese-American singer Wang Leehom's concert on June 20. The 49-year-old star invited Hong Kong singer-actor Aarif Rahman, 38, often dubbed 'Little Wang Leehom' due to his resemblance to Wang, as the guest singer on the first night of his show in Beijing. Wang is currently staging his The Best Place concert tour in China, with three sold-out shows in Beijing from June 20 to 22. 'Is there something wrong with the camera? Why are there two overlapping images?' Wang jested when Aarif, dressed in clothes similar to his outfits, appeared on stage on June 20. 'Or are my eyes seeing things?' Aarif joked that it could be due to artificial intelligence (AI). 'AI is very powerful now, and the technology of face-swopping is very scary,' he said. 'The AI filter is so powerful that it makes me 10 years younger today,' Wang replied. Aarif quipped: 'And you will grow taller.' Wang is 1.8m tall, while Aarif is 1.75m tall. Wang said many people have remarked on their resemblance, as the two artistes positioned themselves together on stage for the fans to make their judgment. 'Thank you, my 'twin'. We really look alike,' Wang acknowledged. Aarif – who is of Arab, Malay and Chinese descent – said that since the age of 16, he has often heard comments that he is a Wang lookalike. He attended his first Wang concert in 2008 when he graduated from university, he said, adding that both of them have finally appeared on stage together after 17 years. At the concert, they performed Wang's songs Still In Love With You (2011) and One World One Dream (2008). Wang posted photos of the concert on Chinese social media platform Weibo on June 21. 'Brothers performed a 'lookalike show',' he wrote . 'Were you surprised by today's guest performer Aarif Rahman?' Under Wang's post, Aarif thanked him for inviting him to the concert. Aarif also posted several concert photos on social media. 'Performing your songs on the same stage with you was something I never imagined when I was watching your concert during my younger days,' he wrote on Weibo. 'It has come true in Beijing. I look forward to meeting you next time.' Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Actress Hong Ling leaves honeymoon planning to husband Nick Teo
Hong Ling and Nick Teo went for their honeymoon more than one year after their marriage. PHOTOS: NICKK_TEO/INSTAGRAM SINGAPORE – Home-grown actress Hong Ling did not mind leaving all the planning for her recent honeymoon to her husband, actor Nick Teo. The Mediacorp celebrity couple said on social media in May and June that they had travelled to Switzerland and Italy for a two-week honeymoon. As she is the eldest child in her family, Hong, 30, usually plans the itinerary for her family's overseas trips. However, her honeymoon was totally arranged by Teo, 35, whom she married in December 2023. 'I have not organised things after being with Nick,' Hong told Lianhe Zaobao on June 18. 'In his eyes, I am a girl who is a little confused and does not know anything.' The actress was speaking to the Chinese-language newspaper during a coffee session with the media for Mediacorp's new TV series The Spirit Hunter. 'I have always been the one in charge of planning at home,' Hong said. 'Perhaps I have someone to rely on after meeting him, so I'm willing to let go and let him do the planning.' Revealing the reason for delaying their honeymoon, she said: 'We took on acting roles at different times, so it just dragged on for a year and a half.' The actress starred in the crime drama Unforgivable (2024), for which she has been nominated for Best Actress at the upcoming Star Awards on July 6, alongside co-star Jesseca Liu. Meanwhile, Teo acted in pet and marriage drama Furever Yours (2024) and the blockbuster series Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story (2025). Hong told Zaobao that she cannot forget the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland, which was chosen as her husband was looking forward to visiting the country. She recalled that both her agent and actress Jeanette Aw had told her it would not be very cold in Switzerland. Instead, it rained for several days when she and Teo arrived in Switzerland, with the temperature on the mountains dropping as low as minus 11 deg C. She was saved by Teo's advance planning; he had taken along a puffer jacket that kept her warm. On Mother's Day, Hong went public on social media about her miscarriage. She disclosed to Zaobao that she felt relieved after opening up about the heart-breaking incident. With enough time to rest, she said, she has recovered well. The actress recently fell in love with pickleball, and she and Teo would invite friends to enjoy the sport together. 'I felt it was fun and went to learn it,' she said. 'I finally stepped out of the room to play last week. I quite like it and will likely continue to play.' In The Spirit Hunter, which premieres on Channel 8 on July 3, Hong plays an ordinary young woman embarking on a journey to eliminate ghosts and malevolent spirits after receiving a sword. The Spirit Hunter also stars Ferlyn G, Richie Koh, Tyler Ten and Elvin Ng. Hong will be involved in action scenes again in the new drama, just like in Unforgiven. She does not feel her stamina has improved, though. 'On the contrary, I felt as if I have become weak,' she said. 'It was very tiring filming the fighting scenes and I didn't want to move at all after I was done with them.' Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
