Andy Lau poised for new series of concerts in Asia
HONG KONG: Andy Lau is poised to launch a new series of concerts to be staged in several cities in Asia.
The series kicks off with concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
His publicists are revving up his promotional machinery for a very busy year ahead.
According to a statement uploaded on his official page, Andy World Club, “For the first time in seven years, Andy Lau will be returning to Hong Kong for a concert (…) there will also be shows to be held in the mainland in 2019.”
The statement from his publicists added: “Upon hearing that we received the approval for his Hong Kong shows, Andy was extremely happy and will be earnestly starting preparations for the concert soon.”
The latest development is heartening news for his legions of fans across Asia who had been shocked by his horseriding accident while filming a commercial in Thailand last year. Some 20 year- end concerts were cancelled.
Even after his recovery, fans had feared for the worst — that he would no longer be able to endure the punishing pace of a concert tour.
The latest statement by his publicists have put those fears to rest.
Andy’s publicists also took the opportunity to address speculation about his tour dates.
