Sun makes emotional concert return to Taiwan

Singapore pop diva Stefanie Sun made an emotional return to the Taiwan stage on Aug 16.
KAOHSIUNG - Singapore pop diva Stefanie Sun made an emotional return to the Taiwan stage on Aug 16.
It was where she made her debut 25 years ago and a place filled with memories for her.
Her two sold-out concerts at Kaohsiung Arena were part of her Aut Nihilo tour, her first headline gigs on the island in 11 years.
On the first night, the 47-year-old made several references to her time in Taiwan, tearing up twice as she walked down memory lane.
As she started on the opening lines of The Moment, she suddenly stopped to wipe away her tears and let the fans take over the singing for a while.
The song was from her 2003 compilation album of the same name. It was released shortly before she made the difficult decision to take a one-year break from the music industry, even as she was enjoying immense success.
Sun was overcome with emotion once more in a segment where she acknowledged some of her old industry partners who had been with her at the start of her career.
