Hong Kong celebrity Fiona Sit has opened up about the death of fellow singer Khalil Fong, who’s widely rumoured to be her ex-boyfriend.
Fong passed away at the age of 41 on Feb 21 after a five-year battle with an unspecified illness.
In an interview with a Chinese magazine, Sit, 43, shared that she had turned down several work offers following the loss but honoured prior commitments that were already scheduled.
The singer also admitted that she had considered postponing the announcement of her concert but ultimately decided to go through with it as she didn’t want her emotions to interfere with her professional responsibilities.
“In the end, I still have to be rational. What good will come from announcing it later?” she said.
Sit also revealed that while she cried on the first day after hearing of Fong’s death, her body had not fully processed the news, leading her to collapse shortly after.
“I couldn’t do anything and started losing my appetite. I vomited when I didn’t eat … It was difficult to breathe. It felt as if half of me was gone,” she said.
The grief was so overwhelming that Sit sought counselling to cope. Though the singer had previously learned to let go, she admitted that it was easier said than done.
Despite these challenges, Sit reiterated that she would try to move on and live a fulfilling life, just as Fong would’ve wanted for her.
