TAIPEI: It has been five years since Taiwanese pop idol Jerry Yan's last soloalbum and on Sunday, the former member of popular boy band F4celebrated the launch of his album "Freedom" with a bang. Literally.
Morethan 2,000 fans and close to 50 reporters turned up at a promotionalevent for his new CD at Taipei Wei Feng Plaza and during theautograph-signing session, the stage which Yan was on, collapsed,leaving a big U-shaped hole in the middle.
Yan was quickly ushered off stage and fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident.
Duringthe four-hour event, which was interrupted to allow for reconstructionof the stage, the 32-year-old talked openly about his work as well ashis personal life.
He revealed that his hectic work schedule- he was working on his album while filming a new TV drama - had lefthim stressed and nervous, causing him to suffer from insomnia.
Henot only lost a lot of weight as a result, the condition also affectedhis mood. Yan recalled how he would lose his temper during filming,slamming the table when he could not get the takes right.
However,any signs of nervousness were clearly absent during the event. Calm andcomposed, the singer-actor did not seem to mind being quizzed about hislove life.
"I want to fall in love and have someone by my side," revealed Yan.
Whenasked if he is worried that his future girlfriend will be compared withhis rumoured exes, actresses Lin Chiling and Terri Kwan, Yan repliedcasually, "There nothing to compare between them." |
