HK Stamps commemorating (Lto R) Wong Ka-kui, Danny Chan, Roman Tam, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui |
The stamp issue will feature the portraits of each star on individual stamps. "These stamps have been issued to commemorate the great achievements of some of Hong Kong’s greatest entertainers... They were all much loved and respected for their talent and for the joy they brought to the local music scene," said HK Postmaster General Allan Chiang in a statement.
In the portraits, Wong, the former lead singer of the rock band Beyond, is seen performing in a red vest with a guitar. Cheung and Tam sing in white and black tuxedos, while Chan dons a white dress shirt and black suit jacket. Powerhouse singer and fashion icon Anita Mui wears a pink low-cut dress.
The clean-cut, baby-faced Chan died after 1 1/2 years in a coma.
Crooner Tam died in October 2002 after an extended battle with liver cancer, and Cheung, an accomplished singer and actor who appeared in director Chen Kaige’s Oscar-nominated Farewell My Concubine, committed suicide in April 2003. Pop diva Mui died eight months later from lung complications caused by cervical cancer, and was a close friend of both Tam and Cheung.
Wong, whose band Beyond was loved for its uplifting rock songs, died in 1993 after falling off a platform at a television studio in Japan. His band carried on and recently had a farewell concert in Singapore.
