I had been waiting over an hour for my interview with Eason Chan. The Hong Kong singer, who was in Kuala Lumpur recently to promote his new album L.O.V.E., was feeling under the weather, I was told.

When I finally got to meet him, Chan apologised for the delay. “I have been having a sore throat, and I have a tribute concert for (the late) Danny Chan in Hong Kong this weekend,” he said. “I have to make sure my voice is OK to sing!”
