Cheung will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 21, 22, and 23 Nov, with ticket prices – from $168 to $388 – remaining the same as his 2023 concerts.
Priority sales for KrisFlyer members will be on 2 July from 10am to 11.59pm. As for OCBC cardmembers, priority sales will be on 3 July from 10am to 11.59pm. General sales begin on July 4 at 10am.
The concert tour has travelled across Asia and there will be encore shows in cities such as Macau, Kuala Lumpur and Suzhou.
On the first night of his 2023 concerts in Singapore, Cheung, 63, performed a front split onstage and talked about how he didn't feel old despite being old. He also made a 'date' with the crowd for another concert in his 70s.
Fortunately, Singapore fans won't have to wait that long to watch him in concert again.

With a name like "Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee", this stall at Whampoa Makan Place has a lot to live up to – not to mention it was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for "good quality" and "good value cooking".
Unfortunately, it seems to fall short of expectations, especially if you take a look at the Google reviews.
So what went wrong with this plate of hokkien mee?
According to a food reviewer, there was an imbalance between the sweet and savoury flavours, and the prawn stock's characteristic brininess was frustratingly faint. There was also a notable lack of wok hei and pork lard was only served upon request.

Apple's week-long Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicked off on Monday (9 June) with a keynote and here are all the highlights.
The announcements aren't that splashy but the biggest one is probably the new iOS 26, which brings with it the largest software design overhaul for Apple since iOS 7 in 2013. All new Apple devices will get a new look dubbed "Liquid Glass" – one that was inspired by the Vision Pro's translucent software display.
The new design will feature see-through visuals that appear to have a glossy surface.
The new iOS 26 also marks the start of a new OS naming convention for Apple. The name of Apple's operating system typically increases by 1 each year, but it'll now be OS 26 for all of their devices. This brings the naming convention in line with the year in which customers will use it.
Apple Intelligence is also getting some updates with the biggest announcement being that it'll open up its on-device AI model to third-party app developers.
It'll also use the technology to improve other functions of the phone, such as Apple Maps, which will now remember users' preferred routes and tailor directions for them – which means that your coffee runs will no longer be a detour.
However, Apple didn't reveal more on its plans for a more capable, AI-enhanced Siri. This was first announced at last year's WWDC but later indefinitely delayed.

A US judge dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's US$400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively on Monday (9 June).
Lively had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, and Baldoni's lawsuit was a response to that. She still seeks unspecified triple and punitive damages, and a March 2026 trial remains scheduled.
The judge also dismissed another related $250 million lawsuit from Baldoni against the New York Times for its 21 Dec, 2024 article on their dispute titled "'We Can Bury Anyone': Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine".

A study by the National Institute of Education (NIE) aims to examine how the well-being of girls, who are at greater risk of stress and problematic behaviours, are affected by life in Singapore's top schools.
There will be 4,200 secondary school girls recruited from the study. Participants will be recruited from three girls' school and one co-ed school in Singapore. The inclusion of the co-ed school was to recruit a smaller group of boys for comparison, explained the study's lead investigator, Dr Jacqueline Lee Tilley.
Researchers have defined a top school as as schools where students consistently perform well in national exams or co-curricular activities. This study is the first of its kind in Singapore and will be conducted over three years, from 2025 to 2028.
The four schools were not been named, but The Straits Times understands that Methodist Girls' School is one of them.
