Fans, friends and family of the late Hong Kong-born, American singer and song-writer Coco Lee gathered for her funeral in Hong Kong on Monday, paying respects to the star who died at the age of 48 after a career spanning three decades.
Outside the funeral home in the eastern part of Hong Kong island, nearly one thousand fans, many dressed in black, queued in the summer heat to enter a funeral hall that was opened up to the public after a private service.
"We always chose her songs to dance with. She's our connection. We want to accompany her for her last journey. When we heard the news that she passed away, our minds went blank," she said, while holding a wreath of flowers. "She was the first Asian singer who went to sing on the Oscar stage, this makes us all proud of her," said Hong Kong film star Jackie Chan in a video post.Lee was born in Hong Kong in 1975 and was the youngest of three children of a Hong Kong mother and Malaysian father.
