Sun shone brightly in new stadium
LOCAL singer Stefanie Sun couldn't have asked for a more appropriate homecoming with the local leg of her ongoing Kepler World Tour last Saturday, making history with the first ever pop concert to be staged at the new National Stadium.
But just as the venue looked short of a few licks of paint, Sun didn't sound 100 per cent fit; especially after reports of the 35-year-old collapsing backstage from exhaustion in Chongqing last month left some wondering if the tour was going to continue.
The marathon gig, after all, is a taxing one made up of a career-spanning 30-song setlist and lasts for almost three hours. At exactly the half-way mark, after performing the piano ballad, Angel's Fingerprint from her latest album, Kepler, a semi-croaky Sun came close to giving up.
