Hong Kong — On April 1, an online concert will be held to commemorate the death anniversary of legendary Hong Kong singer-actor Leslie Cheung. It has been reported by Hong Kong’s Apple Daily that producer Xiao Chaoshun would be spearheading the concert. Xiao organised Sam Hui and Aaron Kwok’s online concerts last year.

Titled “Thinking of You, Leslie Cheung,” the concert will be held to cheer up Hong Kong residents as the island city continues its battle against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Apple Daily also reported that the hour-long concert will be streamed live. According to Xiao, the decision to hold the concert was made just a few days ago.

“We then approached Mrs Chen (Chen Shufen) to get Tang Tang’s (Daffy Tong) approval.

“Mrs Chen later informed us that Tang Tang had agreed and even came up with the name.”

Chen was Cheung’s manager while Tong was Cheung’s partner.

Malay Mail Online reports Xiao said they are now looking for singers to perform in the concert set to be held at Tsim Sha Tsui’s Ocean Terminal rooftop.

Cheung, affectionately known as Gor Gor (Cantonese for older brother), leapt to his death from the 24th floor of a hotel in Hong Kong on April 1, 2003, at the age of 46.

Born on September 12, 1956, Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing was a Hong Kong singer and actor. In his 26-year career from 1977 until his death, Cheung released over 40 music albums and was cast in 56 films.

He was one of the leading pioneers who shaped the identity of Cantopop during the 1980s and became known for his flamboyant, often outrageous, stage appearance. His venture into acting in the 1990s was marked by his portrayal of queer characters with actual personality in the then conservative film industry.

His career was marked by both praise and criticism, with numerous public discussions focusing on his sexual ambiguity and androgynous persona./TISG

《苹果日报》还报道说，长达一个小时的音乐会将现场直播。据肖说，举行音乐会的决定是在几天前做出的。

“然后，我们与陈太太（Chen Shufen）取得唐唐（Daffy Tong）的批准。

“陈太太后来告诉我们，唐棠已经同意，甚至想出了这个名字。”

陈是张的经理，而唐是张的合伙人。

马来邮件在线报道说，肖说他们现在正在寻找歌手在尖沙咀海洋码头屋顶举行的音乐会中演出。

张被亲切地称为 Gor Gor（哥哥，他的广东话），于2003年4月1日在香港一家酒店的24楼跳楼去世，享年46岁。

张国荣生于1956年9月12日，是香港歌手兼演员。在从1977年到去世的26年职业生涯中，张翔发行了40多张音乐专辑，并参演了56部电影。
