Danny Chan (ʱj) (September 7, 1958 - October 25, 1993) was a popular 1980s Cantopop singer, composer and actor in Hong Kong. He died in 1993 after being in a coma for 17 months.
Chan won third prize at the "HK Pop Song Composition Competition" in 1977. In that same year, he made his acting debut with Hong Kong Television Broadcasts (TVB) through a TV drama called "Sweet Babe". In 1978, he won first prize at the "Hong Kong Yamaha Electone Festival". He held his first music concert in Hong Kong that same year. His first music album, entitled "First Love," was released in 1979.
Chan subsequently signed a music contract with HK EMI. After spending several years with HK EMI, he signed with HK Warner Brothers where he reached superstar status. In 1985, he signed with DMI, which was a joint venture between EMI and Dickson Poon. Through DMI, Chan was able to launch several successful albums. He returned to HK Warner Brothers in the late 1980s.
Chan's career peaked in the early 1980s when he joined a music group called Warners and sang a number of hit songs such as 'Will Always Be Loving You' , 'Take Care of Yourself Tonight' , 'No'. Danny Chan was considered a contemporary to Hong Kong Cantopop peers like Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam. He sang and composed mostly Cantonese romantic ballads.
During the span of his music career, Chan held many music concerts in Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Canada and the United States. Chan also participated and represented Hong Kong in song festivals such as the Nagasaki Asia Music Festival in Japan (1988), Peace Music Concert (1988) and the Shanghai Music Festival in China (1991). He was also invited to perform at the Olympics Opening Ceremony at Seoul, Korea. In 1988, he performed in the presence of the royal Thai Princess in a Thai Charity Show. In 1991, Chan announced of his decision to leave the Hong Kong music industry. He held a farewell concert in Hong Kong in 1992 and subsequently retired from the Cantopop music industry.
There was speculation in the late 1980s that Chan suffered from alcoholism as it was unfairly perceived in the press that his career lagged behind that of Hong Kong Cantopop superstars, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung.
On May 18, 1992, Chan was found unconscious and was admitted to Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. He never regained consciousness from his coma and died 17 months later at age 35. Immediately after he fell unconscious through his death, there was much speculation over Chan's private life, and claims of drug use, suicide, homosexuality and alcoholism were made. It is said that he had an overdose of pills that led to his coma.
