Did Eason Chan pass away? Singer Ye Xiaoyue refutes rumors

Gossip has spread on the internet about the supposed passing of famous Hong Kong vocalist Eason Chan, causing his fans to worry. But singer Ye Xiaoyue has shot down these claims, saying Chan is still alive and getting better after being sick.

On May 19, Ye Xiaoyue spoke up on her official Weibo account. She dealt with the online talk by saying she'd gotten in touch with Eason Chan's helper to find out what was going on. Her post said the helper told her Chan is "doing fine" and the death rumors aren't true at all. The wrong information seems to have come from a different announcement about Chan's ongoing concert tour.

Eason Chan’s illness sparks rumors, but his career remains strong

On May 15, Eason Chan's Fear and Dreams tour's official Weibo account put out a statement.

The statement said they were pushing back three shows that were set to happen from May 16 to 18 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It said this change was because the singer got sick all of a sudden, to be exact, he tested positive for COVID-19. Doctors told him he needed to rest right away.

In 2002, Chan experienced a serious injury after falling off the stage during a concert in Taiwan, which resulted in trauma to one of his testicles that required medical attention. He has since made a full recovery. Later, during the 11th night of his Life Concert 2013, Chan openly shared that he had been dealing with bipolar disorder and a fear of large crowds.

Eason Chan, the Hong Kong singer and actor, stands out in the Asian music world. His unique voice has made a mark on Cantopop and Mandopop. He has won many awards and has fans all over the globe. His latest work keeps drawing interest.

Chan had a brief health issue, but he is still very much in the spotlight. This shows his career is going strong. As of December 2024, Spotify said it had more than 4 million monthly listeners. He also held the third spot among Spotify's Global Top Mandopop Artists for two years in a row.
