Well known Taiwanese rock artist Faith Yang held her Have Faith! Faith Yang 2009 Concert at Taipei Arena on June 13, 2009. She invited Eason Chan as her guest. Aside from performing 星星堆滿天, Perfect Day & 十年, the two also shared memories of their first encounters and created laughs for the audience. Eason says he has known Faith for over 10 years and the first time he saw her, it was in 1998 at her concert where she was smoking and singing at the same time. Faith then says, "You still remember, I have since forgotten."

On June 11, 2009, Eason Chan held his Same Wrong Sin Concert with Swing and Mr. Good friends Wyman Wong, William So and Denise Ho were in attendance, as were wife Hilary Tsui and daughter Constance Chan. As reporters approached Constance to take pictures, she cleverly used what was in her hand to cover her face. When Eason saw the swarm of reporters surrounding his daughter, he waved his hands towards them indicating for them to leave her alone. For the show, Eason wore the facial hair featured on H3M's album cover.

During the show, Eason revealed that he asked to be a guest performer at Wong Ka Keung & Paul Wong's upcoming concert, saying, "I called Paul expressing my interest in being a guest. I had real "thick skin" to recommend myself, but opportunities are out there for you to grab!" Eason performed Faye Wong's 開到荼靡 & Wong Ka Keung's 麻醉 during the show and performed an encore.

At the post-concert celebration, having performed through the night and ended up with a raspy voice, Eason joked, "I shouldn't have benefited them in Taiwan by performing for 4 hours." He then explained he visited a doctor two days ago and was told that his vocal chord should be white in color, however his present vocal cord was red and swollen among other things. Due to the severity, he was told to immediately quit smoking and to take steroids. Eason says, "Because I can't hold back when I sing live there was no other choice, but I don't take it (steroids) often so don't worry." When asked if his daughter recognized him with his facial hair on, he answered, "She recognizes me, but refuses to give me a kiss."

After the show, Eason, Hilary, Constance and William So went to Wan Chai for a midnight meal. At 1 in the morning, fans were still around holding up paper to block cameras from taking pictures of their idol.

Admiring Eason: Shin 信

This year, neither Shin 信 nor Eason Chan came up winners at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards in the Best Male Artist category, but both men say being nominated is enough. On the night of the 7th, Shin held a mini concert, titled 金曲盡信 (Believe in Hits, literally translated), where his fans encouraged him and presented him with a crystal award trophy. Shin says his "Song King" is Eason and his "Song Queen" is A-mei. Shin says his friendship with Eason goes back 8 years when he was the back-up singer at Eason's concert. During the night, Shin performed Eason's 愛情轉移 with imitation, which was funny and exaggerated.

Eason, Swing & Mr - "Same Wrong Sin" Rehearsal

Yesterday, Eason Chan rehearsed for his upcoming Metroinfo Hosts Eason Chan Same Wrong Sin Concert, to be held June 11, 2009. Due to a recent emergence of students taking drugs, Metroinfo kicked off their No Drugs (我自愛, 不吸毒) campaign with Eason and his upcoming concert guests Swing and Mr. The campaign will feature 50 artists recording a "no drugs" message.

As for the recent surge in students taking drugs, Eason responds, "Maybe cigarettes are too expensive. I haven't tried drugs, but there are a lot of things that tastes better than drugs, for example, "pineapple" buns (菠蘿包)." When asked if he has friends who take drugs, Eason answers, "Not many. If they don't listen to my advice, I would distance myself from them. A person's reputation is important and I wouldn't want to be mistaken to take part in it [drugs]." He then gives an idea on how people can be excited without taking drugs, "You will be very excited if you are sleep deprived." He was then asked, due to his lack of sleep, 'So you are always high?!" Eason answers, "I'm naturally high. Depriving yourself of sleep costs nothing, just have fun with your friends and go karaoke."

Admiring Eason: Kelly Poon 潘嘉麗

Coming in second during the first season of the Singapore talent competition Project Superstar (絕對 Superstar), Kelly Poon 潘嘉麗 says the artist she most wants to work with is Coco Lee 李玟 and wishes she could sing and dance alongside her. When asked which artist she likes most, Kelly turns into a fan and says she likes Eason Chan and, in turn, she likes One Million Star season 1 winner Yoga Lin because she feels he resembles Eason when he performs.

Having gained a lot from the competition Project Superstar in which she placed 2nd in the first sesaon, Kelly Poon says she admires unique personalities such as those of Eason Chan, Stefanie Sun and Joanna Wang. Kelly says, "Regardless of which event, Eason will act crazy and is not afraid that people will call him psychotic. Stefanie has her own personality as does Joanna, I read an interview on her (Joanna) and thought she was wonderful person. I love artists who are like that and hope that I can be like them."

Eason Chan, Guest at George Lam's Concert

George Lam held two shows of his Lam @ Coliseum Concert (十分十二子祥演唱會) at Hong Kong Coliseum from June 5-6, 2009. The first night attracted industry stars Andy Hui, William So, Eason Chan, Anthony Wong Yiu Ming, Fama and others. Family who watched him in concert include wife Sally Yeh, his son and mother. Hins Cheung was the guest performer of the night.

George spotted Eason sitting in the audience and pulled him onto the stage. Eason, who was wearing a pink tee, polka dot jeans, flip flops, and hair which was a bit messy, was immediately made fun of, "Did you just wake up?," George asked. Eason immediately responded, "This will be the trend in 2012." The two then performed George's hit 數字人生. George then lifted Eason's tee to reveal Eason's "meat" and laughed that he indeed had a lot of "meat," causing the audience erupt in laughter.

Full Time Acting on Eason's Mind

After committing many years to music, Hong Kong singer, Eason Chan, is considering turning his attention towards acting. He felt the change would allow him to stay in the entertainment industry well into the years. Eason felt that there will also be more chances to discover new talents for the industry.

Eason confessed that he is not a professional actor. Because of commitments to other areas of work, he lacks the time to fully study and build the characters he portrays. As such, he ends up playing characters closer to his off screen personality most of the time.

To Eason, every film shot is a learning experience. On the sets of Corrupt All Cops, he was able to meet many like-minded people, with a passion for acting. Other than honing his acting skills, he also gained knowledge in other areas as well. Hong Kong writer, Chan Koon Chung's books were recommended to him by Anthony Wong, with whom Eason often discusses books with on set.

Eason commented, "I'll put more time into acting in the future. Singing is dependent on one's state of health (stamina), especially in concerts where you can't rely on others for your own performance. In acting, the performance can be enhanced with acting skills and emotions, there are also stunt doubles. And besides, there are only a handful of singers that last till they are over 70 years old, unlike actors, on the other hand, of which there are quite a number of them!"

Eason at Mayday's "D.N.A. World Tour" Hong Kong Stop

Eason with Mayday

Mayday (consisting of members Ashin, Monster, Stone, Masa & Guan You) held their 2009 D.N.A. World Tour Hong Kong stop, from May 20 to May 22, 2009 at Hong Kong Coliseum. Wyman Wong, Hilary Tsui, and Eason Chan attended the last show as audience members.

Eason arrived midway through the show and caused an uproar as he entered. Mayday entered into a yelling match with the audience to see who would yell louder and Eason had much fun during that segment. During the show, Ashin said, "I do not know Eason well, I just admire him the way you guys (the audience) do." Eason got up and yelled back in response. During the post-concert celebration, Mayday was asked why they didn't invite Eason onstage. Ashin answered, "If we invited him I'm certain we would have to prepare $100,000 HKD [for fines due to going over time at Hong Kong Coliseum] and would be blacklisted. However, band member Masa was extremely excited just seeing Eason in the audience."

During the show, the audience wanted to see Mayday dance, so Ashin joked, "If you guys want to see dancing, go watch Fahrenheit (飛輪海); if you guys want to see good-looking guys, go watch F4; if you guys want to see a bad dancing band you've come to the right show! There is something wrong with your mindsets, why would you want to watch bad dancing?!"
