(Shenzhen Daily)
Updated: 2004-11-19 09:31 Hong Kong band Beyond
would hold its last concert ever early next year, said one of its members, Steve
Wong Ka-keung.
Hong Kong legend pop band "Beyond" will bow
out with a farewell concert early 2005.
[sohu] | The famous band has held many successful
concerts since it was established in 1989. Last year, it held its 20th
anniversary concert and went on a world concert tour to fulfill the will of Wong
Ka-kui, a band member who helped form the band but died in a stage crash in
1993.
Now, the remaining three members of the band have decided to retire after
they perform a farewell concert in late January 2005.
The deceased
band member Wong Ka-kui was the soul for the
band's development. [sohu] | Although the
January concert will be the band's last one, band member Steve Wong said it did
not mean the band would split up. He said Beyond would go into a new phase.
"The band's world tour was not only the will of Wong Ka-kui but also what the
three of us aspired to do. Now we have done it we feel greatly relieved.
Although the concert will be the band's last one, I want to assure all our fans
that Beyond will never split up. In the past few years, the three of us have
developed individually, each forming his own new band and a new career. The
January concert could be compared to a graduation ceremony for students who have
finished their university degree. Beyond will enter a new phase and will
continue growing with new achievements," he said.
Steve Wong also said: "In the future, the three of us or our band will give
performances in different forms."
According to Paul Wong Koon-chung, another member of the band, Beyond would
sing songs selected by the audience in the January concert.
He said: "The concert will be themed on Beyond's growth. Our growth is like a
drama without words. At first it was just a band formed by several ordinary
guys. Then the band grew to be an important force in the pop music world. After
the death of Wong Ka-kui, the three of us chose to develop individually. We have
experienced a lot. Beyond has produced many songs. A concert can only sing
one-fifth of them. That's why we want our audience to tell us what they'd like
to listen to."
