Fiona Sit Cries During Concert

Recent news of R&B musician and singer-songwriter Khalil Fong‘s (方大同) death at age 41 left many in disbelief, as heartbroken fans and his friends in the entertainment industry mourned the singer’s untimely demise. As Khalil’s only rumored girlfriend, netizens worried that singer Fiona Sit (薛凱琪) might not take the news well, while the latter finally broke her silence on Weibo on March 8 in a lengthy post.

Fiona Putting Up a Brave Front?

However, fans had criticized her post in which she talked mostly about herself and her concert, expressing their feelings that she should either have mourned her dear friend sincerely, or promoted her concert properly, instead of trying to do both at once. Fiona had once mentioned that Khalil left all the best songs for her, while the public also viewed the two as sharing a relationship that was “beyond friends, not yet lovers”.

Last night, Fiona Sit held a concert in Nanning, Guangxi when halfway through her performance, she suddenly became overwhelmed with grief and broke down in tears, unable to continue singing at one point. She was so heartbroken that she had to wipe her tears with a tissue and paused the music, asking, ‘Can we do it again?’ After calming down a little, she continued her performance.

More than one netizen shared the video clip on social media, which sparked online discussions, with the related hashtag ‘#FionaSitConcertCryingUncontrollably#’ trending on Weibo.

In the video, it was clear that Fiona was not in a good state, as netizens shared their belief that she must be missing Khalil Fong deeply: ‘It feels like she’s lost her soul,’ ‘She looks really weak, definitely hasn’t been eating properly,’ ‘She looks so heartbroken, her eyes have no life in them,’ ‘She seems like she can barely stand, her body is very weak, she’s holding her stomach and frequently needs to lean on something for support.

Fans were heartbroken that she had to perform in this state as they commented that they had never seen her look so worn out as she “looks like a completely different person” compared to her previous performance one month ago in Haikou.
