THE family of the recently-deceased Barbie Hsu (pic) is still undecided where to place her ashes, China Press reported.
Her family members have changed their minds about burying her ashes under a tree after her husband Koo Jun-yup, popularly known as DJ Koo, expressed his wish to have a statue built in her memory.
“We hope to have a place to visit Xiyuan (Barbie’s Chinese name).
“That is why after discussing with our family, we have decided to find a different burial place (than under a tree),” he said.
The 48-year-old mother of two died of pneumonia on Feb 2 after contracting flu during a vacation in Japan for Chinese New Year with her family.
Her body was cremated in Japan and the ashes brought back to her home in Taiwan.
According to Koo’s friends, he is still in mourning and has lost much weight. He has also taken a career break and cancelled all of his appearances in Taiwan.
> Following the completion of Jacky Cheung’s 1,000th concert in his career, fellow Hong Kong singer Eason Chan conceded that he will never be able to catch up with his idol, Sin Chew Daily reported.
“I’m too far behind, I’ll never catch up,” he said.
With Chan’s upcoming concerts in Australia and Britain, he would have performed in 403 concerts, which is not even half of what Cheung, 63, has achieved.
“Based on my idol (Cheung), he was already doing 147 shows in 17 months in his first world tour in 2007,” Chan said.
