Mayday promise to 'make it up' to fans
The Straits Times
|November 30, 2024
Lead singer Ashin says the Taiwanese rock band are committed to give back "what was owed" at their upcoming concerts here
If you attended Mayday's concerts at the National Stadium in January, and left disappointed that lead singer Ashin was ill during the shows, fret not.
The Taiwanese rock band have promised to "make it up" at their gigs at the same venue in January 2025.
In a recent video seen by The Straits Times, which featured the group's five members, Ashin committed to give back to fans "what was owed" from the previous two-night gig. Back then, he was beset with vocal problems on both nights, and the audience and other band members chipped in to sing for him.
The video was filmed about two weeks ago in Shanghai, where Mayday had performed 11 shows at the Shanghai Stadium. In the video, Ashin said of the group's upcoming Singapore concerts: "Apart from our #5525 material, we will also return to everyone what was owed all at one go."
When asked what he would say to his former self, he replied: "I would tell myself that no matter what, before going to Singapore, I cannot catch a cold."
