While fans were looking forward to a 30^th anniversary performance from musician Jacky Cheung, the sudden announcement of its cancellation prompted a lot of speculation.

Early rumors blamed a public disagreement with organizer, Florence Chan, as the reason behind the sudden cancellation. And for the first time, the singer is finally giving fans a real explanation as to why the concert plans were put on a halt.

According to the singer, he was very clear that he would not be performing unless the inspiration to do so was evident. He adds that he was not the one who scheduled the concert to be held in April.

"If there isn't a meaning, then it shouldn't be forced. Yes, the concert appointment was made, but it was everyone's idea and I've been clear all along - I wasn't sure if I'll be able to come up with something meaningful and convince myself! If there is no meaning, why am I going to stand on stage? Why not just have a fan meet and let it be simple. I have high standards when it comes to performances, and I'm not going to sing just because it's been 30 years. Why can't it be a 31^st, or 33^rd anniversary?"

While most assume that Chan manages the signer's career, he makes it clear that he's the one who takes care of it, but he has collaborated with the famous manager in previous concerts. Cheung shocked numerous fans after the abrupt cancellation of his announced concert and most blamed it on an ongoing feud between himself and Chan.

"It's not just about whether or not this performance will go through or not! My problems in the relationship I have with her are not just from today - they have accumulated over the years. There are some things that need to be solved. If they are unable to be solved, then perhaps we should not collaborate together anymore!"

He also makes it clear that his reduced workload and conscious effort to clear his schedule was done as a way to focus on his family.

"After becoming a father, I have to take care of my family. However, people are selfish. I want to spend time with my children, but I also like to perform, so I have to find a balance. It is necessary to compromise and give up something. I'm very lucky to be able to choose, so I chose to to spend more time with my family."
