Despite her serious illness, Hong Kong pop star Anita Mui is set to hold a series of concerts from November.
She says she is ready and able to do the shows. Unlike her previous concerts, which were full of hot dances and fast songs, her upcoming concerts will mostly feature slow songs.
She said she will perform with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and will present fans with her best songs from the past 20 years.
Anita Mui confirmed earlier this month that she has been suffering from cervical cancer. It was a shocking revelation to Hong Kong's show biz community. But the strong-willed singer won't let the disease interrupt her singing career.
A lot of heavyweight stars such as Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau have volunteered to be guest singers at the concerts. The famous singer says she really treasures this chance because she is not sure when she can stand on the stage to hold another solo concert again.

For the first time since the HK SAR government started compiling statistics in March, no new SARS cases were reported on Saturday. Hong Kong's biggest pop stars performed at a benefit concert to celebrate the occasion and to raise funds for families affected by SARS.
Earlier on Friday, the World Health Organization had lifted a Hong Kong travel advisory. For weeks, many people in Hong Kong had been wearing surgical masks, but most of the thousands of concert－goers were conspicuously not wearing them.
The "1 to 99 Concert" was named after the bleach－to－water ratio officials have recommended as an anti－SARS cleaning solution. Artists included pop sensation Nicholas Tse and Hong Kong's "Four Heavenly Kings", Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, and Aaron Kowk. Singers Sammi Cheng, Joey Yung, and Eason Chan also appeared.
The concert organizer said some 17.2 million Hong Kong dollars had been raised by Saturday night.
