Today is April Fool’s Day and this is the day to play practical jokes on friends, family and even enemies 😛 So, you ought to be in the mood to enjoy April Fool’s Day rather than to take things too seriously.

Leslie Cheung was one of my most favorite artistes since my school days. I often listened to his songs whenever I felt lonely and bored back then.

But I was sad to know that Leslie Cheung had chosen to end his life on the April Fool’s Day in 2003. It was such an unbelievable and shocking news when I first watched the news on the mobile TV inside the bus when I was on my way home six years ago.

Leslie Cheung had ended his own life by jumping down from the 24th storey of the Mandarin hotel in Hong Kong. Nobody knows the reason as to why he wanted to commit suicide. Perhaps he was very depressed and was having some trouble that caused him to give up hopes at that moment.

Just like Anita Mui who was also my favourite artiste, Leslie Cheung was also a talented artiste who can sing, act and dance very well especially when he was performing live on the stage. 

His death is a great loss to the Hong Kong show business. I believe Leslie Cheung’s fans and people who love him dearly will never ever forget about his pretty face.

So, let us enjoy his great performance in Korea as featured in the video clip below when he was singing his popular “Sleepless Night” song  :
