At 74 years old, Tam took to his social media platforms to ease worries among his devoted followers, displaying his recovery through cheerful selfies.
Back on November 23, Tam had to cancel his lively concert scheduled for Huizhou. This decision followed his performance during which he experienced sudden cold weather and strong winds after dancing energetically. While singing on the stage, he became soaked with sweat, resulting in him catching chills.
Tam vividly recalled, "其实上个星期在衢州演出到大约一半时，因为当天气突然间降温和很大风，而且跳完舞之后全身湿透在台上著凉后就开始咳了;下半场更咳得利害。" (Translation: "Actually, during the concert last week, about halfway through, the weather suddenly turned cold with strong winds, and after dancing, I was soaked and caught chills; my coughing got severe during the second half.")
Despite feeling unwell, Tam pushed through to complete his performance, not leaving the stage until concluding the evening's event. At first, he thought he was doing okay, but soon, on his return to Hong Kong, he encountered worsening symptoms. "大家不用担心，我会努力调理好身体。" (Translation: "Everyone need not worry, I will work hard to recover my health."), he assured his fans, promising them he would return with even more energy and enthusiasm.
Fans across various social media platforms were quick to express their heartfelt support for Tam, showering him with encouragement. Comments flowed, ranging from simple well-wishes to more detailed messages of hope, reminding Tam of his importance to them. "校长，一定要照顾好自己，我们等你回来！" (Translation: "Principal, please take care of yourself, we’re waiting for your return!”). One fan wrote with palpable concern.
The Cantopop singer, known not only for his enduring musical career but also his love for sports, has demonstrated immense passion and resilience over the decades.
