Nicholas Tse launched his “Evolution Nic Live” concert tour last year, and on the 25th, he completed the Qingdao stop in China. Despite recently facing the loss of his father Patrick Tse, he continued to perform as scheduled, making the state of his performance a particular focus of attention. On the 26th, Nicholas Tse shared a clip from the concert on social media in the early hours, and concluded with a famous quote from Patrick Tse, with his sincere feelings drawing sympathy from fans.
In the early morning of the 26th, Nicholas Tse posted a concert video, singing the Cantonese song “Clear Sky.” The lyrics mention: “Having endured a thousand heartaches, traversed a thousand miles of ice, deep within the sea of clouds, finally a farewell comes.” While the song’s main theme is about a wanderer returning home, the phrase “finally a farewell” seems to resonate with his current emotions. In the video, fans can be seen holding signs like “Supporting you,” “You don’t have to force yourself, you still have us,” showing their encouragement. At the end, he included Patrick Tse’s often-spoken words, “the show must go on,” expressing his hope to continue meeting fans.
After the video was posted, it garnered many likes from netizens, with comments pouring in such as, “We’ll always support you! Take care, see you in Shenyang,” “Thank you for bravely holding back your grief to give us such a perfect two hours! You don’t have to overdo it—we’ll always love you,” “Such incredible professionalism. Thank you for singing for us,” “It’s a blessing that your father has a son like you! You’re doing so well, every show will be a good one—remember to take care of your health,” and “Your dad will definitely be proud of you.”
In addition, at the start of the concert, Nicholas Tse appeared on stage in an all-black outfit and sunglasses. However, midway through, he removed his sunglasses, unable to hide his sorrow, and couldn’t help but wipe away tears. He quickly recovered, smiling and telling the audience the rain had stopped. He then looked up at the sky and said, “Thank you,” as if expressing gratitude to his father in heaven for blessing him. This moved many fans to tears and was a testament to his professionalism.
