HONG KONG/BANGKOK: Hong Kong singer Eason Chan Yik-shun has cancelled his coming concert in Thailand, with the organiser saying safety concerns for Chinese citizens and fans travelling to the country prompted the move.

The Cantopop star’s Bangkok concert, scheduled for February 22, was axed just days after a mainland Chinese actor was reported missing while travelling in Thailand. Actor Wang Xing was later rescued from an online scam syndicate just across the border in Myanmar.
