Hong Kong pop star pays tribute to London

Hong Kong pop singer Eason Chan paid tribute to English fans after selling out the O2 Arena in around 20 minutes and crashing the venue's web servers. He made history by becoming the first Chinese performer to play the arena, starring in his sold-out DUO Concert.

Some 12,000 fans descended upon the London venue on Monday to hear Chan perform 25 songs from his Mandarin and Cantonese repertoire.

The 37-year-old singer said he was surprised and pleased to have so much international support. "I never thought I had so many fans in Europe. I heard people are coming from Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg and Spain," he said.

"Maybe they're bored," Chan added, joking.
