Hong Kong singer Eason Chan Yik-shun has cancelled his coming concert in Thailand, with the organiser citing safety concerns for Chinese citizens and fans travelling to the country.
The Cantopop star’s Bangkok concert, scheduled for February 22, was axed just days after a mainland Chinese actor was reported missing when travelling in Thailand. Actor Wang Xing was later rescued from an online scam syndicate just across the border in Myanmar.
The decision on Chan’s show was made “in light of recent safety issues concerning Chinese citizens and fans travelling to Thailand”, organiser Sunfan Media Group said on Friday.
“After careful discussions with Eason Chan, his management team, and the relevant companies in Bangkok, we have made the cautious decision to cancel the Eason Chan Fear and Dreams World Tour Bangkok concert,” a spokesman said.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause you.”
The cancellation of the show at Bangkok’s Impact Arena followed news that actor Wang had been rescued at the Thai-Myanmar border earlier this week.
