Cantopop star Andy Hui wrapped up a three-night “On Stage” concert series at the Hong Kong Coliseum on March 10, with his wife, Sammi Cheng, a constant presence backstage. After the final show, the couple shared an emotional embrace that highlighted Cheng’s supportive role throughout the weekend.
Still dressed in his pink tour T-shirt, Hui stepped out into the backstage corridor where crew and friends had gathered. He smiled, clasped his hands in a gesture of thanks, and shook hands with well-wishers. When he spotted Cheng waiting ahead, he opened his arms wide and hugged her tightly. Cheng gave him two thumbs up. “Thank you, everyone!” Hui called out.
Cheng had prayed for her husband before each performance, and after the last one, she admitted to feeling a sense of relief. “I can finally relax,” she told those nearby, according to sources.
A Critical Comeback
The concerts were highly significant for Hui. The veteran singer had largely retreated from the public eye after admitting in 2019 to an extramarital affair with television host Kimmy Tong. He later released new music and made a slow return, but the “On Stage” series marked his first major set of live shows since the scandal. All three nights attracted solid crowds, a strong sign that his fan base was receptive.
Career and Relationship Milestones
Hui, who rose to fame in the 1990s with hits like “Unexpectedly” and “Right Here Waiting,” is known for his emotional ballads. Throughout the concerts, he performed a setlist that spanned decades, earning cheers from longtime followers. Cheng’s unwavering presence was equally notable. The couple’s relationship had been tested severely by Hui’s infidelity, but they have remained together, with Cheng publicly choosing forgiveness.
Next Steps
The success of the three shows has fueled speculation about additional concerts in mainland China and other parts of Asia. Hui’s management is also rumored to be working on a new album. For Cheng, the priority remains their family’s healing. “He’s working hard to be a better person,” she has said.
The final embrace between the two backstage became a lasting image of the weekend. It signaled that for Hui and Cheng, the stage is not just for music—it is also a place for personal redemption, and they are navigating it together.
