HK singer Eason Chan's daughter joining entertainment industry
Hong Kong star Eason Chan's daughter Constance is following in his footsteps and becoming a singer.
Warner Music Hong Kong announced in a press statement on June 23 that Constance Chan has officially joined the music company and will be releasing her first English-language song, Doll.
The 20-year-old changed her Instagram account setting from 'private' to 'public', and posted on June 23 a short video of herself in the recording studio.
She wrote that Doll will be out at midnight on June 26 on all platforms.
Her father commented on her Instagram post, saying he was very happy and proud of her, adding: 'Have fun, please.'
The 50-year-old singer is married to former actress Hilary Tsui, 51. He has just completed the Haikou leg of his Fear And Dreams concert tour in China.
According to Hong Kong magazine Ming Pao Weekly, Eason Chan was initially not in favour of his daughter joining show business, but her interest in singing eventually changed his attitude.
Apart from being a member of the school choir when she was younger, Constance Chan has also performed on her father's songs.
She sang the chorus for the track The Code (2023) and was credited in the music video under 'Backing vocal: Eason Chan/Bao'. Bao Bao is Constance Chan's pet name. Tsui shared a screenshot of the MV on her Instagram Stories and circled the word 'Bao'.
Constance Chan also played the piano for her father's 2011 number Baby Song.

Gwyneth Paltrow stars in Astronomer ad after viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' video, Entertainment News
Gwyneth Paltrow is starring in a new ad for Astronomer. Almost two weeks after the tech company's married CEO, Andy Byron, was caught on a Coldplay concert kiss cam with his arms around his HR executive Kristin Cabot, Gwyneth has been hired as a "temporary" spokesperson for Astronomer. Gwyneth, 52 - who was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from 2003 until 2016 - appeared in a short video on Astronomer's social media speaking about the company's strengths. She said: "I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common one." The first question, "OMG! What the actual f***?", then appeared on the screen in writing. However, she dodged the question and said: "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale. We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Astronomer (@astronomer_io) The next question to Astronomer was, "How is your social media team holding..." However, she moved on before the whole question could be asked, saying: "We will now be returning to what we do best, which is delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." The video was captioned: "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." At Coldplay's July 15 concert, a cameraman panned across the crowd and showed Byron and Cabot in an embrace. In a video shared to TikTok, as the couple frantically tried to dodge the camera, Chris, 48, could be heard saying: "Oh, look at these two. All right, c'mon, you're okay. "Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." [[nid:720384]] Both Byron and Cabot have since resigned from the company.
