Grasshopper's Remus Choy to return to Singapore stage after brain tumour surgery

New Paper4 days ago
Hong Kong singer Remus Choy is ready to hop back in action on the Singapore stage, after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumour.
He is a member of Cantopop trio Grasshopper, who are slated to hold an encore concert at Resorts World Ballroom at Resorts World Sentosa on Oct 25. Tickets priced from $98 to $278 will go on sale on Aug 18 via BookMyShow and Bigtix.
It will be the third time their current Re: Grasshopper tour has hopped to the Lion City. It first landed at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2023, and was held at Resorts World Ballroom in 2024.
Choy, 58, shared on social media in October 2024 that he was recuperating after his operation, and uploaded a selfie showing his shaved head.
A month later, he reportedly was well enough to return to the studio to record new songs. And on July 27, he sang alongside Hong Kong singer Kelly Chen at her concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, where Grasshopper were guest performers.
The group, which have been active since the mid-1980s, also comprise Choy's older brother Calvin Choy, 60, as well as their childhood friend Edmond So, 59.
Their upcoming two-hour gig will include newly arranged versions of Grasshopper's classic hits, such as Lost Love Alliance (1990) and Forgetful Samba (1991), as well as their iconic number Baby, I'm Sorry (1993).
Another highlight will be their new, unreleased dance number Old Spicy, which was performed during Chen's concert.
Its melody was composed by Remus Choy, with lyrics penned by Hong Kong lyricist Wyman Wong.
In a video taken backstage before their appearance at Chen's concert, Choy shared that he felt "nervous" because he was going to perform the new song, and added: "I woke up so early this morning to memorise the lyrics. I wish to energise every person in the crowd."

Singers Rain, Ekin Cheng, Hins Cheung to perform in Singapore in September

A number of singers, including South Korea's Rain and Hong Kong's Ekin Cheng and Hins Cheung, are slated to take the stage at Grand Prix Season Singapore 2025. The celebrities will appear during an event titled Jam Off 2025, happening on Sept 27 and 28 at Resorts World Sentosa's Universal Studios Singapore. This comes a week before the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025, from Oct 3 to 5 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, but the two events are not related. The two-night Jam Off 2025 will feature adrenaline-charged performances in the evenings from 7.30pm to 10pm, and "standing zone" tickets are priced between $188 to $248 per day. Doors open at 7pm on both nights. Day 1 will see a 30-minute opening DJ act at 7.30pm, followed by a 40-minute set by Hong Kong singer JC. At 8.40pm, Cheung will perform for 40 minutes, followed by Rain, who will also take the stage for 40 minutes. Day 2 will feature another opening DJ act, this time lasting 40 minutes, together with a performance by five-piece Hong Kong band Nowhere Boys, starting at 7.30pm. At 8.10pm, Ekin Cheng will come on for 30 minutes, followed by Hong Kong singer Stephy Tan for 40 minutes. Rain will round up the night with a 40-minute set at 9.20pm. The news was announced in social media posts on Aug 16 by Hong Kong entertainment and artiste management company Lam & Lamb Entertainment, which manages stars such as Cheng, Sandy Lamb, Jerry Lamb and Cantopop group Grasshopper. Hong Kong singer JC will do a 40-minute set on Sept 27. PHOTO: JC/FACEBOOK According to the Visit Singapore website, the 10-day Grand Prix Season Singapore 2025, from Sept 26 to Oct 5, complements the Singapore Grand Prix with race-themed festivities that spotlight the city's attractions, dining experiences, entertainment and retail scene. Hong Kong band Nowhere boys will perform at Universal Studios Singapore on Sept 28.

Cheng did a solo show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2019. Rain last performed here during Waterbomb Singapore 2024 music and water festival, but he will not be performing at 2025's edition of the festival, slated for Aug 30 and 31. Hong Kong's Stephy Tang is among the singers expected to take the stage on Sept 28.
