DESPITE being down with a cold, Hong Kong superstar Jacky Cheung returned to the stage to continue his 60+ Concert Tour, China Press reported.
He had earlier cancelled three of his shows in Guangzhou.
However, the 63-year-old “God of Songs”, who is known for his work ethic, decided to continue the tour this week.
He was seen holding a handkerchief and wiping his nose during one of the shows.
“Everyone knows I cancelled three of my shows last week. But my voice is still ‘sexy’ right now. I’m recovering from a cold. I totally lost my voice last week. How am I to perform without my voice?
“For that, I apologise for troubling everyone,” he said.
Cheung joked that his fans should think of him as a Jacky Cheung impersonator.
“If I do sound like him, please give me a round of applause. Otherwise, please forgive me as I am not the official Jacky Cheung. I am in fact Jacky Cheung who has a cold! Thank you for your understanding.”
