Leehom Wang Kneels on Stage at Taipei Concert

Back to hold his concert at the iconic Taipei Arena after four years on September 9, singer Leehom Wang (王力宏) knelt in an emotional outburst to thank ardent fans for their support.

Knelt Onstage

During his rendition of “All the Thing You Never Know” <你不知道的事>, the audience lit up the venue with their handphone lights to create a spectacular scene, prompting Leehom to ask “Do you want to get closer?” Singing “Still In Love With You” <依然愛你>, he went downstage with the guitar slung on his back, causing a ruckus of excitement as fans tried to snap close-up shots.

Taking the chance to voice his gratitude to loved ones before he sang “Forever Love”, the 47-year-old gave a shoutout to his parents for never once missing his shows at Taipei Arena.

Briefly mentioning the lows of his life and touching on his divorce saga, he said, “I know that about (what’s) happened recently, you guys know more about it than me. (As for what) I did, I also got to know after watching the news,”

Announcing a “restart” for his music journey, he said, “It is all of you, who gave me courage, (I will) fight for the music I love, for those who love me, even if this is a solo battle”.

Seeing the enthusiasm of fans and concert-goers on site, Leehom added, “If every one of us, can be added up, there will be no singular “one” who will be forgotten”. Belting out a medley of three hits “Revolution” <公轉自轉>, “The One I Love is You” <愛的就是你> and “Loving You Is Loving Me” <愛你等於愛自己>, he pushed the atmosphere to a high, and sang “Kiss Goodbye” on bended knees throughout, finally kneeling fully with head and hands down at the end of the song for a minute long. He ended the concert on “Descendants of the Dragon” (龍的傳人).

Spotted among the audience were Taiwanese host Blackie Chen (陳建州) – himself facing the #MeToo scandal, and wife Christine Fan (范瑋琪), and veteran Taiwanese actress Hsu Feng (徐枫), whom Leehom thanked.
