Taiwanese singer Paul Wong dies in Hawaii at 61; girlfriend disputes family's claims

Paul Wong, the acclaimed Taiwanese singer-songwriter behind hits like "You Drunk Me" and "Let Everyone Be Heartbroken," has died in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the age of 61. His passing on June 2nd was confirmed through a lawyer's statement issued by his two sisters, who have designated themselves as his sole heirs and appointed a law firm as the exclusive contact for his estate and musical assets.

This announcement has ignited a dispute with Vicky, who claims to have been Wong's girlfriend for 31 years. She has expressed disbelief and distress over the sisters' actions, questioning the legality of their claims and seeking legal assistance to uncover the truth. Vicky revealed that she only learned of Wong's death on June 13th, more than ten days after he passed away.

The circumstances surrounding Wong's death have raised numerous questions, particularly given his relocation to Hawaii just six months prior. A prior statement from Wong's legal team in May had also announced his move to Hawaii for a new chapter in his career and personal life, while simultaneously disavowing his social media accounts, suggesting a potential rift with those previously managing his affairs, including Vicky.

Vicky, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, explained that Wong's departure from Taiwan was due to his fear of facing difficult situations, likening him to a child who couldn't cope. She stated she couldn't care for him and he would panic. This separation, and the fact she was unaware of his death for so long, has fueled speculation about the true state of their relationship, with some netizens questioning if their bond had already fractured.

He's afraid to face things. He's like a child, I know he can't handle it, and I can't take care of him, he'll panic more.
