Sunday January 1, 2006 Taiwan New year is a happy time, however on New Year’s Eve in Beijing, tragedy struck. 黃建福,, fell off the stage a at a Qi Qin concert and died. This death was extremely hard and sudden for his family, this tragedy also affected close friend Wang Leehom who publicly shed tears. Wang Leehom’s family is in the United States, so he treasures his close friends in Taiwan very much, and he was extremely heartbroken by this incident. Leehom and 黃建福, have worked together and 黃建福, has toured with Leehom. Wang Leehom who is known as a sunshine boy shed tears on the first day of the New Year during his autograph session in Tai Zhong. Leehom who is known for his cool, polite temperament couldn’t hold in his sadness at his autograph session. In the middle of his new song “Kiss Goodbye,” Leehom broke into tears. Leehom had just found out that morning that one of his close friends, 黃建福,, had passed away that morning. Leehom always manages to keep a smile on despite rumors, not sleeping for days (5 days for this album), stress, and media drama. Even after the embarrassing GMA incident he was a good enough sport to make fun of himself, and smiled the deal off. However he could not withhold his sorrow. He started tearing up and could not continue singing. He apologized to his fans that were waiting eagerly for him to finish the song. However, knowing he could not let his fans down, he explained, and tried his best to finish the song. Despite being extremely sad, Leehom said he was extremely thankful for his fans and signed autographs. SONYBMG did not give him a rest and he continued his other promos throughout the day having to hold his emotions in. credt: ettoday.com and ourhome thailand translation: appletart
I saw that clip of Leehom. :( He was soo teary. May 黃建福 rest in peace! I'm not sure who he is but it's really tragic for him to pass away like that. Especially because he's an artist. Artist live to be on stage and perform... and he die by falling off. =T I hope his family is doing alright.
