Eason Chan gives full backing as daughter Constance makes music debut
22 May - It was reported that Eason Chan and Hilary Tsui's daughter Constance Chan is set to make her singing debut soon. As reported on Mingpao, on 20 May, Warner Music confirmed reports that Constance has signed a contract with them, saying, "Constance has joined the Warner family. More details about her music will be announced later. Please stay tuned. Thanks!" Constance has clearly inherited her father's musical talent and passion. In fact, she made her first appearance in the music world 19 years ago, when Eason released his 2006 album "Life Continues...", which famously featured baby Constance drooling on the cover. News of Eason's daughter entering the music industry has sparked widespread discussion among netizens, who are now eagerly anticipating a father-daughter collaboration on stage. Eason was once asked whether he supported his daughter joining the entertainment industry, to which he said that he would support Constance in pursuing her dreams, but hopes she can complete her studies first. The singer also said that he and his wife give their daughter a lot of autonomy, including in love matters. (Photo Source: Eason IG, ST Headline)

Eason Chan pokes fun at death hoax
21 May - While fans and friends were furious over the Eason Chan death hoax, the singer himself seemed to take it in stride as he updated his fans on social media recently. On 19 May, following rumours that he has passed away, the singer, who previously had to postpone his concert after being diagnosed with COVID-19, posted a photo of a plate of barbecued pork, and wrote, "Back from the dead, time to enjoy my favourite old dish." The death rumour emerged shortly after Eason announced on social media that he had to postpone his concert in Kaohsiung last week. In response, singer Ip Hiu Yuet denied the rumour, saying that she had spoken to Eason's assistant and that the singer is perfectly fine. Eason also apologised to his Taiwanese fans for the postponement, saying that he has waited 12 years to perform in Kaohsiung and didn't expect that it was crushed by the COVID-19 virus overnight. "My sincere apologies for the disappointment of the audience and the troubles the team had to go through. I will follow medical advice and try to recover my health, return to Kaohsiung as soon as possible and meet everyone on stage," he posted. (Photo Source: Eason IG)

HK Singer Eason Chan Speaks Up For The First Time Following Death Rumours
Hong Kong singer Eason Chan (陈奕迅) recently found himself in a weird situation. After postponing his concert due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, the star was met with rumours of his death, prompting him to speak up on the ridiculous claims. On Monday night (19th May 2025), the singer shared an Instagram Stories post showing a plate of roasted meat. The post was captioned, 'After resurrecting, I'll eat my old meat first~'. The picture was Eason's first post since postponing his Taiwanese concert, scheduled for 16th to 18th May (Friday to Sunday). It's believed the caption is a reference to all the death rumours circulating on the Internet. For context, the singer postponed his Taiwanese concert after getting diagnosed with COVID-19. He posted an apology to fans on his Instagram account on 15th May (Thursday), writing, 'Very sad. I waited to perform at Kaohsiung Arena for 12 years. I didn't expect to be crushed by the virus overnight. My sincere apologies for disappointing the audience and troubling the team. I'll follow the medical advice and try to recover my health. I'll return to Kaohsiung as soon as possible and meet everyone on stage.' Unfortunately, the postponement sparked some unsettling rumours that the singer has passed away due to COVID-19 complications. The rumours went viral, even shooting to the top of Weibo's trending topics. As Eason wasn't active on social media after sharing his diagnosis, likely to focus on his recovery, the rumours triggered panic among fans. Fortunately, the rumours were quickly debunked by those close to the Hong Kong star. Ayuko Ye (叶晓粤), a Chinese singer and Eason's mentee on 'Sing! China Season 2', refuted the rumours of Eason's passing on Weibo. The music show contestant clarified, 'Eason Chan's death is fake news! I have confirmed with his assistant that he's alive and well!' The singer also angrily denounced the rumour-mongering, describing them as 'despicable and ungrounded'. Since death following a health complication is possible, we can't blame fans for being worried about the star. However, we have to condemn those who start rumours without solid evidence. Hopefully, Eason's team will be more vigilant with online gossip from now on and clarify it as soon as possible. Sources: Oriental Daily (1)(2)

FAQs: Covid-19 is making a quiet comeback in Asia, with fresh waves of infection being reported in several countries. While many thought the worst was behind us, new data shows that Covid-19 is still very much active — even during a time of year when respiratory illnesses usually slow down. In major cities like Hong Kong and Singapore, health authorities are now on alert following a sharp rise in cases. At the same time, China and Thailand are also battling new outbreaks, prompting public health advisories and fresh calls for booster Kong is seeing its highest Covid-19 positivity rate in over a year.

More residents are now seeking care at hospitals and clinics for Covid-related symptoms, marking a noticeable uptick in public the entertainment industry has been affected — popular Hong Kong singer Eason Chan tested positive for Covid-19, which led to the cancellation of his concerts in Taiwan.

In mainland China, the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) reported that Covid test positivity rates in hospitals more than doubled over the five weeks leading up to May 4. This sharp rise suggests that China may be headed for a wave similar to last in Thailand, two major outbreaks have already occurred this year. The most recent spike followed Songkran, Thailand's traditional New Year festival in April. Large gatherings during this public holiday likely contributed to the virus's spread, according to the Department of Disease in both countries are now encouraging the public to get vaccinated and take booster doses, especially for those in high-risk at the moment. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India currently has just 93 active Covid-19 cases. Officials say there's no indication of a new wave in the country — at least for given the uptick in cases across neighboring Asian countries, Indian health experts are monitoring the situation closely. The regional surge is a reminder that conditions can shift quickly, and complacency could leave populations current rise in Covid-19 cases across Asia — especially during the warmer months — challenges previous assumptions about the virus's seasonality. Many had hoped Covid would follow patterns similar to the flu, which usually fades in summer. But that doesn't seem to be the case like Hong Kong, Singapore, China, and Thailand are now stepping up efforts to share data, coordinate public health messaging, and promote booster wave is a clear sign: Covid-19 is not over.
