Hong Kong singer Joyce Cheng, who has been largely out of the public eye for two years, has wiped clean her social media accounts.
Fans noticed on April 24 that all the posts on the 37-year-old’s Instagram account have been deleted. The vlogs on her YouTube channel were also removed, but a few songs remain on the channel. Her Facebook page is unaffected for now.
There was speculation in the Hong Kong media that Cheng is planning a comeback with her latest moves. Her profile is still on the website of Hong Kong entertainment group Media Asia.
Cheng, daughter of veteran Hong Kong actor Adam Cheng and late actress-host Lydia Sum, has not performed in public since her concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum in March 2023.
There was talk that the singer was suffering from depression as she has not updated her Instagram account since April 2023.
Her manager Sandy Lamb told Hong Kong media outlet HK01 in June that year that the singer was unwell, without giving further details.
In November 2023, Cheng appeared in the music video for the song De-Union, which was performed by her good friend, singer Alfred Hui.
She also voiced the lead character Asha of the Cantonese version of Disney animated movie Wish and performed its theme song. The music fantasy film was released in Hong Kong in December 2023.
Cheng met Hong Kong music producer Florence Chan during Chinese New Year in late January. Chan later posted on social media a video of the celebrities who had visited her. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
