The much-anticipated world tour of Cantopop legend Sammi Cheng has hit a roadblock, with the 50-year-old singer having to postpone her concert series due to ongoing health issues related to her recent Covid-19 diagnosis. Originally slated to perform for 13 nights at the iconic Hong Kong Coliseum starting July 14, Cheng’s concert, christened the AXA Presents You & Mi Sammi Cheng World Tour, has now been deferred.
Diagnosed with the virus in May, Cheng disclosed the unfortunate news through a video clip she shared online. The illness disrupted her preparation schedule and led to a hoarse voice. In addition to these hurdles, the Cantopop queen has also been grappling with nasal congestion and coughing, as reported by dimsumdaily.hk.
Prioritizing Cheng’s health and recovery, concert organizer Media Asia Group Holdings Ltd took the prudent decision to reschedule the concert. The move is designed to give the renowned singer the requisite time to recuperate and regain her strength and vocal prowess.
Cheng, desperate to bounce back in time for her concert, has reportedly even sought traditional treatments to hasten her recovery from Covid-19. As reported by 8days, one such treatment involves moxibustion, where mugwort leaves are burned on affected body parts, in this case, Cheng’s neck. Her desperation to regain her voice was evident when she candidly admitted to her fans, “I am willing to eat toads.”
As fans across the globe eagerly await more news, the need for Cheng’s health to take precedence is paramount. The music world hopes to see this powerful voice return to the stage once she has fully recovered.
