    Tony Leung (梁朝偉), Anthony Wong (黃耀明), Deanie Ip (葉德嫻), Winnie Hsin (辛曉琪), Priscilla Chan (陳慧嫻), Gigi Lai (黎姿), Andy Hui (許志安), Joyce Cheng (鄭欣宜), Julian Cheng (張智霖) and Grasshopper (草蜢) were among 16 stars to perform last night at the Hong Kong Coliseum, in the second of two concerts to celebrate the life of Leslie Cheung (張國榮).

    The Miss You Much Leslie <繼續寵愛音樂會> concert marks five years to the day since Leslie's death.

    Leslie's friend, Su Sze Wong (蘇施黃), who presented the concert, revealed to the audience how Leslie got the nickname Gor Gor (哥哥). She explained that it was originally the nickname of Leslie's boyfriend Daffy Tong (唐鶴德), while Leslie's nickname was Ah Jai (阿仔). But when Carina Lau (劉嘉玲) moved into the same building and joined their mahjong group, she mistakenly thought Gor Gor was Leslie's nickname. They carried on calling Leslie Gor Gor as a joke and the name stuck.

    Elisa Chan (陳潔靈) said: "Daffy is not currently in Hong Kong. He will remember Leslie in his own way."

    Jackie Cheung (張學友) performed last, before the whole cast joined together in a rendition of "The Wind starts Again" <風再起時>.

    As the song finished, on the giant screen behind the stage, a video appeared of Leslie, in his Final Encounter of the Legend concert in 1989, with his back toward camera. As he turned to face the audience, a microphone stand rose from the stage.

    The video froze and Leslie's voice reverberated around the venue: "I dare not say I will never hold a concert again at the Coliseum, but I will remember the joy and fulfilment everyone has given me today. Thank you."

    The concert climaxed with the whole venue joining in on Leslie's hit, "Me" <我>.

    Five years since that tragic death. I think it's so special what they are doing.
