#Paula tsui concert 2019 series#
She held a series of eight shows at the Hong Kong Coliseum from 6–11 November and 14–15 November 2003, which were to be her last concerts before her death. On 5 September 2003, Mui publicly announced that she had cervical cancer, from which her sister had also died. Profits from the book went to the Children's Cancer Foundation. In 2003, she wrote and published the book The Heart of the Modern Woman (現代女人心). She was also awarded the "Fighting Against SARS Award" from RTHK and the newspaper Ming Pao. The government authorities in Guangzhou were infuriated when she chose to sing the song on the last day of her concert.ĭuring the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, she initiated a fundraising concert titled the 1:99 Concert to raise money for SARS-affected families. In 1995, Mui performed the song "Bad Girl" (a Cantonese cover of Sheena Easton's "Strut") in Guangzhou, China, where it was banned, as it was considered pornographic in nature. She performed in 300 concerts in her career. Her popularity was also gaining prominence outside of Hong Kong, as she was invited to sing at the 1988 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Seoul together with Janet Jackson. This established a record at the time and dubbed Mui the title of "Ever Changing Anita Mui" (百變梅艷芳), which had become her trademark. Beginning in late 1987, a series of 28 consecutive concerts at the Coliseum was held through early 1988. In terms of live performances, in 1985, at the age of 21, her first concert was held lasting 15 nights (thus being one of the youngest singers to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum). She was awarded the Gold Songs Gold Awards (金曲金獎) in 1989 for the song "Sunset Melody" (夕陽之歌), which became one of her signature songs throughout her career. Thereafter, she won the award every year until 1989.
Her winning streak continued as she won another major award in 1985, her first top 10 Jade Solid Gold Best Female Singer award.
