Yesterday i watched
Anita Mui's concerttears dropped, thats too touched
hmp, she still dance for the last dance before died
awww, that's so sad
A hospital spokeswoman said Mui was confirmed dead at 2.50am Tuesday morning (1850 GMT Monday), but did not give further details.
Mui had kept a low profile since she sold out a eight-night concert run in Hong Kong that ended on November 15.
Her condition was reported to have worsened suddenly on Monday and she was rushed to hospital where she later slipped into a coma and died.
Hong Kong film legend Chan led emotional tributes to the singer, unable to hold back tears even after revealing that Mui had urged her legions of fans "to stay calm and not to cry for her."
Veteran entertainer Eric Tsang, a legend of Hong Kong's showbusiness industry, paid tribute to Mui's courage in battling cancer to the end.
"Even though her condition deteriorated... she waited for all her best friends to come to her bedside so she could see them one last time, to wish them well before she was willing to leave them," Tsang told reporters.
Mui ended weeks of intense media speculation by confirming on September 5 that she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer.
"I will win this battle. I won't disappoint my friends. I don't want my fans to cry anymore, to worry anymore. I am not a loser and a weakling even though I am a patient," Mui said then.
Her elder sister, Mui Oi-fong, died of ovarian cancer in April 2000 after a 15-year battle against the disease.
Mui, known as the "Big Sister" of Hong Kong showbusiness, began her singing career in 1968.
At the age of five she was singing Chinese opera and pop songs in theatres but her big break came in 1982 when she saw off 3,000 contestants to win the New Talent Singing Competition.
Mui went on to carve out a reputation as "the Madonna of Asia" with her outrageous costumes, raunchy stage performances and a stream of hits which netted her numerous awards and helped transcend the image of Chinese female singers.
Mui's uniquely deep voice was used for the theme songs in dozens of films and shows and she remained phenomenally popular across Asia right up to her death.
She later turned to acting and enjoyed success starring in films including the "Heroic Trio" and "Drunken Master 2".
Her portrayal of a tortured ghost in "Rouge" won her Taiwan's prestigious Golden Horse award in 1987. Last year she starred opposite Jackie Cheung in Ann Hui's acclaimed July Rhapsody.
But despite her glittering showbusiness career, Mui said her biggest regret was not furthering her education, saying she would have preferred to have been a lawyer instead of a pop-star.
so, please remembered she always = ]
