Edison Chen who planned to secretly attend the "Artistes 88 Fund Raising Campaign" so that he could pave a smooth road for a comeback in front of 200 million viewers, but in the end he failed to do so. Yesterday TVB admitted that they did received a notice from the event organizers that they had intentions of arranging a performance for Edison, but after several meetings with Eric Tsang and TVB executives, they did not want a public charity event turn into an event focused on Edison. Also, there are millions of people watching the show worldwide, therefore in the end they decided not to include Edison as a participant. TVB assistant director of public relations Mr. Tsang (曾醒明) confirmed to Oriental Daily yesterday. The organizers suggested to TVB that they had intentions of inviting Edison Chen to perform, but TVB later was notified to make the corresponding countermeasures. He said: "Our staff already prepared everything, we already typed up his named on the computer and prepared to display his name on the subtitles, but in the end for some unknown reason he did not appear, that we did not know about!" Eric Tsang attended an event yesterday and denied that there was such arrangement: "It's very unfair to write something like that about him. Our purpose this time is for charity, to help others. We welcome anyone to attend. During our meetings, we joked that what if one of the Media members looked like Edison or Twins. We never prohibited Edison from attending." Eric also said that they were very satisified with the success of the fund raiser, but he regrets that they were not able to arrange the "Four Big Kings" to perform together on stage. The other night, over 300 famous artistes attended, the organizers required that all participating artistes sign a document to avoid the participants abusing the free T-shirts given to them by the event organizers. The other main reason is because the disaster relief show could be sold to the overseas media. In order to avoid copyright disputes, an agreement must be made first, the majority of the artistes signed the document. But there were also many who thought that it was unreasonable and did not sign. Kay Tse cries backstage In addition, the other night it was rumored that Kay Tse cried backstage and it was said that her record company wanted Kay and Eason Chan to keep a distance, therefore making her cry. After understanding the situation, Kay's manager admitted: "She did have teary eyes, but it was only because she saw the clips of victims in Taiwan and heard the touching speeches the guests made, Kay felt emotional and teared up."

What did you mean, he'll never return? If you are saying about about that whole thing back than, he only said "indefinitely," which does not mean forever. I think he would be a distraction to the event to some extent, but some executives/other people surely were scared of what this event may turn out to be which they wanted to avoid.
What kind of 'performance' were they thinking of? Maybe they didn't want to see the audience holding up a bunch of posters with Edison's cock plastered on them.
if i was edison chen, i will never show my face ever again after what happen to those video and pictures taht were leaked online. he is so 厚面皮.
