Mayday, the iconic Taiwanese rock band, is ringing in the new year with enthusiasm, announcing a free online concert on December 31st titled 'Fly to 2025.' The quintet, comprising members Monster, Ashin, Stone, Masa, and Ming, shared their excitement via social media, inviting fans to 'open the multiverse of Mayday.'
The concert will be streamed live on B'in Music's YouTube channel starting at 10:25 PM Singapore time, allowing music lovers worldwide to partake in the celebration. Fans eager to get involved can download the B'in Music Concert app, which provides lightstick synchronization options to amplify the viewing experience. But that's not all—this unique concert will also be showcased at select cinemas across Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, with free tickets being released at noon on December 28th.
While Mayday gears up for this exciting event, the entertainment world was shaken by concerning news surrounding Chinese actress Zhao Lusi. Recently, social media was abuzz with distressing images, one allegedly showing her at the Accident and Emergency department of a hospital. Following the circulation of these photos, her studio confirmed the actress's health issues on December 18th, leading to the unfortunate decision to suspend all her upcoming projects.
"Her health is our priority, and all future projects will be postponed until she recovers," the studio emphasized. This announcement stirred anxiety among fans, who have expressed their support and well-wishes for Zhao Lusi's swift recovery.
Adding to the wave of news, Hong Kong singer Aaron Kwok encountered difficulties during his performance at his Iconic World Tour concert. While dazzling his audience with his hit song 'Fen Xiang Ai,' Kwok accidentally fell through a stage trapdoor. Fortunately, video footage shows he appeared to be unharmed after the fall, yet this incident highlights the unpredictable nature of live performances.
It seems the entertainment industry is buzzing with excitement and concern alike. While fans prepare for Mayday's New Year's Eve concert, many share their hopes for Zhao Lusi’s health and express relief over Aaron Kwok's misadventure not leading to serious harm. The intertwining of joy and worry showcases the complex nature of celebrity culture, particularly during high-energy events like New Year's celebrations.
With Mayday's concert set to kick off the new year on such a high note, many are counting down the minutes to join this virtual gathering, all the more poignant as the world continues to navigate health and safety amid the pandemic. The band's efforts to connect with fans through this innovative concert are commendable, reaffirming their status as one of Taiwan's most beloved musical groups.
Meanwhile, the challenges faced by Zhao Lusi serve as a reminder of the pressures faced by those constantly under the public eye. The strong community response reflects the bond between fans and celebrities, where concern for personal well-being transcends the boundary of entertainment.
So as 2024 draws to a close and 2025 dawns, the entertainment community stands united, celebrating artistic expression during joyous occasions and offering support during challenging times.
