ANITA MUI – CERVICAL CANCER

Anita Mui was widely regarded as one of the top personalities in Hong Kong’s music and acting scenes. She became famous through her powerful voice and jaw-dropping live performances. Not to mention the fact that she is also an incredibly talented actress. Her works and contributions to the industry remain relevant up to this date. Dubbed as the “Madonna of the East,” Mui’s influence was felt in many parts of Asia, including Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.

After she managed to conquer Asia, Mui set her sights on the West, where she later did sold-out concerts in London and other parts of Europe. This also brought her a lot of fortune and made her immune to any form of personal loans. However, her financial success wasn’t enough to win her battle against cervical cancer. Before leaving the industry to focus on her treatment, Anita held eight more concerts from November 6-15, 2003. Her condition worsened, and Mui succumbed to cancer on December 30, 2003, at the young age of 40.
