Miriam Yeung (楊千嬅) had a health scare last month, when she was hospitalized for respiratory distress and flu-related symptoms. Due to the severity of her condition, Miriam had to halt all of her work, including the recording of an upcoming Cantonese album. Yesterday, Miriam’s manager announced that the 41-year-old has made a great recovery and was released from the hospital. Although recovering well, her doctor recommended Miriam to refrain from singing to allow her voice to recover. Originally slated to perform in Guangzhou on June 13, the first overseas stop for her Let’s Begin 2015 World Tour, Miriam’s manager announced that the Guangzhou concert has been postponed to August 29. Miriam apologized to her fans about the postponement, and explained that in order to meet the physical demands of a perfect live concert, she must have adequate rest. Miriam’s Apology Met with Skepticism However, Miriam’s explanation was met with skepticism. Many netizens accused Miriam for being selective in her work, putting her singing career in the back-burner. Yesterday, Miriam and her husband Real Ting (丁子高) has flew to China to do a photo shoot for the second season of The Amazing Race China <極速前進>. The reality TV series will be filmed in iconic worldwide locations with many physically-demanding challenges. It was also announced that Miriam is resuming the Cantonese voice dubbing for the animated feature film, Minions. Miriam’s manager stated that Miriam has to be selective in her work because she is still not fully recovered. As Miriam is under contract for The Amazing Race China, she cannot postpone the filming of the series for too long. Miriam will only be undergoing five days of overseas filming and the crew allowed her husband to do most of the physically-demanding work. Miriam’s decision to postpone the concert was to aid her vocal recovery and give a better performance. Creds: Ming Pao
