Kenny Kwan gets ill from preparing for concert

15 Aug – Hong Kong singer Kenny Kwan recently admitted that balancing his film project and concert preparation has taken a toll on his health.

As reported on Mingpao, the singer, who is set to hold his first solo concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum this September, shared that he found out that his body could not bear such a pressure as he previously thought it could, having suffered from a stomach pain after exercising at home in preparation for his show.

"I went to rest after taking some medicine, but when I woke up, I couldn't stand up straight. A co-worker of mine quickly took me to the hospital," he said.

Kenny was then told by the doctor that his blood sugar and blood pressure were too low.

"I got into trouble by quitting sugar altogether. Joey [Yung] sent me a text message saying that she tried the same thing for her first concert. She advised me not to try to be "superman" and take care of my health," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked if he has spoken to his BOY'Z duo partner Steven Cheung, whose scandal cost the duo their first Hong Kong Coliseum concert earlier, the singer said that he has been too busy and hasn't been in contact with Steven.

As to whether Steven will attend his concert, Kenny said that that would depend on the singer himself.
