Hong Kong artist Vivian Chow, who was crowned as the “Queen of Hearts”, embarked on her tour “Love Eternal” in Macau in August 2024 and has recently performed in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China. Videos circulating online captured moments where she appeared to be in a less-than-ideal state, requiring assistance from her assistant to make it onto the stage, raising concerns about her health.
During her recent tour in China, Chow’s performances have sparked controversies as netizens noticed a decline in her vocal abilities, with frequent off-key singing and a lack of energy in her voice.
However, what is more worrying is footage shared by netizens on social media, showing Chow moving slowly backstage and needing support from her assistant. Additionally, she was filmed looking somewhat dazed, displaying a far cry from her usual vibrant self, leading to concerns about her well-being.
Moreover, netizens shared videos of Chow singing on stage, noting a tired look on her face and instances of breathlessness while singing. In close-up shots without filters, her face appeared noticeably rounder than before, revealing a distinct double chin at certain angles, deviating significantly from her well-maintained “Queen of Hearts” image.
Some speculate that the demands of Chow’s tour, coupled with the physical toll of traveling extensively, can occasionally lead to subpar conditions. Recognizing that the 58-year-old Chow is able to maintain such a state is already quite an accomplishment, and it is hoped that audiences will focus on her performances.
Last year, during her concert in Macau, Chow surprised fans by announcing that after this tour of “Love Eternal,” she will no longer hold large-scale solo concerts, a decision that shocked the entertainment industry. While fans expressed their sadness, Chow responded, saying, “Everything happens for the best.” On her birthday last year, she celebrated quietly with her husband, Philip Ni, and their pets. With nearly 40 years in the industry, she shared gratitude and contentment in a post reflecting her journey, and she concluded by offering a heartfelt thank you to fans for their support and blessings.
