Two nights ago, Eason's Moving On Stage 1's 14 straight shows came to an end with former Capital Artists' artists, Edmond Leung, Miriam Yeung, Denise Ho and Wilfred Lau, making a special appearance. During the final show Eason performed 10 songs for the encore which ended at 12:05 am, going overtime, and being fined a 6 figure sum (presumably 600,000 HKD).
For the final show a special karaoke segment was introduced and was hosted by Eason himself. When it was Deborah Lai's turn to choose a song, she chose 謝謝儂, and it was then when the 4 former Capital Artists' artists went on stage to become Eason's backup dancers.
The 4 of them intended on dragging Hilary Tsui onto the stage with them, but Hilary insisted on not going on stage and they left it at that. But when the audience asked Eason to thank Hilary he complied and said "Thank you [Hilary], you are really really good." Band leader Pal Sinn joined in on the fun when he suddenly asked "How is she good?" Eason responded "You don't need to know. If she's good then she's good, there's no need for a reason." When he performed 綿綿, he said "My wife says this song is boring and told me to cut it. If you guys (the audience) don't think it's boring then it's okay. Sorry [Hilary] I'm going to sing it anyway." Eason got back at Pal Sinn by revealing that he will be getting married soon.
At the post-concert celebration ceremony Eason says he didn't perform too well during the first couple of shows but seeing the positive reaction from the audience and seeing the celebrities taking time out to watch his shows he was extremely happy. Overall, he was satisfied with the concerts.
As for the concert running overtime and being fined, Eason takes a breath before saying "I don't care. I've been running overtime for the past couple of shows, if there's [money] going out then there will be [money] coming in. If it comes down to it, I'll pay it out of my own pocket." When reporters informed him that it was a 6 figure sum, Eason changes his mind and says "Someone will cover it." When asked if manager Katie Chan will cover it, Eason answers "I'll work harder to cover the cost."
Additionally, in April 2008 Eason will be holding concerts in Shanghai and Beijing.

Also, in January 2008 Eason will be holding a concert in Taiwan. This will be the "official" final leg of his Admit It tour. Problems came up when the Taiwan leg of his Admit It tour was planned this year, so the show has been pushed to January.
For those who are wondering why they already held a post-concert celebration with 2 shows left, the final 2 shows are sponsored by the 2009 East Asian Games and not Johnnie Walker.
