Hong Kong singer-actress Kelly Chen is currently on her Kelly Season 2 World Tour.

On July 11, the pop diva launched her highly anticipated 10-night live in Hong Kong concert series, boasting eight costume changes and nostalgic hit numbers.

Sin Chew reported that during her July 15 show at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the Cantopop star played a clip from her 2008 performance – where she had famously announced her marriage on stage.

Reflecting on that moment, Chen shared with the crowd: “At that time, when I was getting married, I thought I’d quit the industry. Who knew it wasn’t necessary…”

The 52-year-old went on to express heartfelt gratitude to her fans for supporting her through every stage of life.

In the 2008 video, she had asked the audience if they'd still come watch her perform even though she's married and has children.

Thankfully for her fans, Chen has continued to perform – and she still looks and sounds amazing.

However, she acknowledged that change is inevitable, and that she’ll need to adapt her performances as she gets older.

“I think by then I will leave the dancing to all of you,” she said with a laugh, imagining what her shows might be like in 10 years.

Chen married her long-time boyfriend, businessman Alex Lau, on Oct 2, 2008. The couple now has two children.
