HK Singer Shirley Kwan Reportedly In ICU, Said To Be In Critical Condition In Hospital
The 59-year-old’s son, who is based in the United States, was said to have rushed back to Hong Kong when he heard the news.
Hong Kong singer Shirley Kwan was reportedly rushed to the ICU today (Oct 7) for emergency treatment and is said to be in critical condition.
It is not yet known why the singer was rushed to hospital, though there are rumours of Shirley being intubated.
According to Hong Kong media, the 59-year-old’s father and her son, Kwan Chun Yin, 23, were seen outside the ward looking visibly distressed.
Chun Yin, who is based in the United States, was said to have flown back to Hong Kong immediately after learning about his mum’s incident.
He was even reportedly spotted hugging his knees and crying, and refused to leave even after visiting hours were over.
Chun Yin only left after his grandfather persuaded him to grab a meal at a restaurant and return to the hotel to rest for a few hours.
Relatives and close friends were also reportedly seen taking turns to visit her. However, these claims are still unconfirmed.
The ‘Hard To Find Lovers’ singer was once one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated singers and was at the height of her fame in the 1990s. But she has been rarely seen in public since announcing her retirement in 2020.
In recent years, Shirley has made headlines for her erratic behaviour.
From claiming that she had suddenly given birth, to attacking hotel staff, Shirley was even seen mysteriously falling into the sea in the middle of the night.
In 2012, she even posted a farewell note to social media, suggesting that she was harbouring suicidal thoughts.
This is a developing story.
