Jacky Cheung Calls Stefanie Sun “Irreplaceable”, Urges Her Not To Stop Singing
That’s some seriously high praise coming from the Heavenly King.
Singapore pop diva Stefanie Sun made a long‑awaited return to Taipei last week with her two-night Aut Nihilo Sun Yanzi In Concert tour at Taipei Dome.
It marked her first performance in the city in 12 years, making the concerts especially emotional for the singer, who made her showbiz debut in Taipei 26 years ago.
Recalling her early days in the city, Stefanie, 47, told fans she still remembers holding her first album launch and solo concert there in 2000 — in the rain.
“Everyone stood there holding umbrellas, singing along with me. Those memories are still so vivid,” she said.
“Now, 26 years later, we’re at the Taipei Dome — indoors, and don’t have to worry about the rain anymore. Thank you for still being here.”
Like at her previous tour stops, Stefanie also received heartfelt voice messages from celebrity pals during the concert.
One of the sweetest messages came from Heavenly King Jacky Cheung during on the second show. In a pre-recorded message, he praised Stefanie for being truly one of a kind and urged her not to stop singing.
“In my eyes, Stefanie is a very unique person,” he said. “Even though she’s now married with children and has different responsibilities in life, I still hope she’ll continue to shine in every role she takes on.”
He then added: “Don’t give up singing and performing. The music industry needs you. Keep going!”
Jacky also said Stefanie is “irreplaceable”, explaining that it is difficult to find another singer with her voice and personality in the entertainment industry.
Fellow Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua also left Stefanie a sweet message, recalling how blown away she was when she first heard Stefanie sing in 2000.
“I immediately knew you were going to do big things. Your voice was just too unique and captivating,” said Tanya.
She also praised Stefanie for remaining sincere and down-to-earth despite her success, joking that the pair have now become “veteran singers” who have grown older together.
