Singapore songwriter-producer Lee Si Song is recovering from a sudden cerebral haemorrhage which he suffered in Beijing, China, a month ago.
This was disclosed by his twin brother, fellow songwriter-producer Lee Wei Song, on Chinese social media platform Weibo on Oct 23.
“Thankfully, colleagues discovered him in time and rushed him to the hospital,” the 59-year-old wrote in Chinese.
“The operation went very smoothly. Currently, Si Song is actively undergoing rehabilitation treatment with his family by his side, and his health has improved significantly.”
Si Song is married to a 59-year-old housewife, and they have two sons aged 29 and 31.
Wei Song also shared three photos of Si Song in hospital and two photos of the brothers communicating via video call.
Thanking the Chinese medical team for its prompt and professional care of Si Song, Wei Song said he looked forward to seeing his twin back on stage with him again in Beijing in late November for a concert.
The Lees celebrated their 40 years in the music industry in 2024 by holding the Lee Weisong & Lee Sisong – Forty For You: A 40-Year Musical Journey Concert at Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore on Dec 31, 2024.
The duo were the brains behind the melodies of many Mandopop classics, from Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung’s A Thousand Reasons To Be Sad (1995) and Hong Kong balladeer Gigi Leung’s Chicken Chic (1998) to home-grown singer Stefanie Sun’s Against The Light (2007) and Taiwanese artiste Jam Hsiao’s Princess (2009).
