Coco’s sister Nancy Lee announced that they will be unveiling a new bronze statue at her tomb in their ancestral hometown Wuhan.
The beloved singer was laid to rest at Shimen Peak Memorial Park in October 2023, where her family also set up a memorial garden in her memory.
Together with the new bronze statue being erected in her honour, Nancy also said that they are currently working with a record label to release songs that had been recorded before Coco’s unfortunate passing.
She Sang the Song with her Sister, Who Didn’t Dare Listen to it
Back in 2017, Coco and her two sisters Nancy and Carol, had covered the song “When Will I See You Again” in Chinese.
Coco loved the song and had gotten a lyricist to fill in the Chinese lyrics of the song and the trio had even done a music video.
Speaking to the HK media, Nancy shared that she did not want to listen to the song after Coco had passed, stating that it was especially heartbreaking.
The song titled “Be Grateful for Today” will be released as a gift for Coco’s fans on 15 June 2024.
