#Showbiz: Wang Lee Hom returns to limelight after 2-month quarantine

KUALA LUMPUR: Popular singer-songwriter Wang Lee Hom is back in action after disappearing for two-months due to a quarantine session for an illness.

According to a recent report from Sin Chew Daily, the American-born artiste had fallen ill in Wuhan, China last December.

But it was stated that Wang, 43, did not contract the Covid-19 virus.

The star was seen last Wednesday on the Chinese reality TV series ‘The Treasured Voice’, on which he sang a cover of ‘We Are The World’.

Wang sang the charity single, which was originally performed by a group of famous artistes under the banner USA For Africa back in 1985, with Chinese singer James Li.

But due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic which has resulted in travel restrictions, the two singers performed the track in different studios.

The footage was broadcast live by utilising cloud-based technology and was apparently seen by an estimated 30 million viewers.

In a Facebook post, Wang said he hopes the song will remind people to help and care for each other.

"I think Covid-19 has reminded us that the lyrics of this song are a message we all need to hear and embrace," he wrote.

According to earlier reports, Wang apparently developed a high fever after his concert in Wuhan last December.

He then cancelled all of his other shows and has been self-isolating in his home since January.
