Diva Frances Yip thankful for the second chances she has had throughout her life
Singer opens up ahead of her string of four concerts with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
There is always a second chance in life and be appreciative of it when you grab one, a top Canto-pop diva has advised.
Frances Yip Lai-yee, 70, a multi-lingual singer with an international career and a breast cancer survivor, has a lot of accolades under her belt in her long career. But nothing mattered more to her than the second chances she had received “with gratitude”.
“Singing wasn’t my first career, it’s my third,” she told the Post ahead of her four concerts with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra starting tomorrow .
“My son didn’t stay with me since age 3 but I reunited with him when he was 16, and now we are buddies,” she said.
“My grandson, too, had a second chance when he was born with a brain tumour, and now he’s 10 years old.”
