Two weekend concerts for Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau Tak-wah were cancelled on Saturday, after the pop icon broke down in tears and ended a show midway on Friday night due to throat inflammation.

香港巨星刘德华的两场周末演唱会于周六被取消了。周五晚上，这位流行偶像因喉咙发炎而失声痛哭，中途结束了表演。

The 57-year-old celebrity was delivering his 14th performance at the Hong Kong Coliseum as part of a total of 20 concerts in his "My Love Andy Lau World Tour" when he halted the music and apologised to fans.

当时，现年57岁的刘德华在香港红磡体育馆举行他的第14场演唱会，这是20场“My Love刘德华世界巡回演唱会”的一场。他暂停了音乐，并向粉丝致了歉。

The doctor said I shouldn’t sing any more, but I really can’t bear to let go, Lau told thousands of people in the audience, his voice hoarse.

“医生说，我不能再唱了，但我真的舍不得，”刘德华向观众说，声音嘶哑。

I don’t want everyone to listen to this voice of mine for the whole concert … I’ll have to stop after singing this one song, the singer said.

“我不想让大家在整个演唱会中听我这样的声音……在唱完这首歌曲后，我就得停下来，”刘德华说。

In a Facebook post on Saturday, concert organiser Focus Entertainment Limited informed fans to hold on to their tickets for shows from Friday till Sunday, confirming these had been cancelled so "Mr Lau will be able to continue to perform after some proper rest".

周六，演唱会主办方映艺娱乐有限公司在Facebook上发帖，通知粉丝保留周五至周日的演出门票，并证实演出已被取消，“刘德华在适当休息后才能继续演出”。

The organiser said it would announce refund arrangements for the affected shows soon.

主办方表示，将尽快公布受影响演出的退款安排。
