Veteran singer Wu Xue-fen 'almost spat blood' after being snubbed for concert gig

Veteran Taiwanese singer Wu Xue-fen is grappling with disappointment and financial strain after a concert guest appearance was unexpectedly canceled. Wu, who had been away from the entertainment scene for over 20 years, was slated to perform at a concert by "King of Pain" singer Sun Ching. She had enthusiastically accepted the invitation, which included 20 tickets valued at NT$2,000 each as compensation. Wu invested over NT$8,000 in two new gowns for the performance and had already begun promoting the event to friends and fans.

I really felt like I was going to spit blood!

However, after weeks of waiting for performance details, Wu learned through a director that Sun Ching had forgotten to inform the production team about her participation. The concert already had three guest performers, leaving no room for her. This news left Wu devastated, not only because of the wasted expenses on her attire but also the pre-sold tickets that now needed to be refunded. She expressed her deep hurt and frustration, stating she felt like she was "going to spit blood."

Waiting and waiting, why haven't I received any notification about which songs I can sing? What songs to sing?

Wu revealed that her income from performances has been highly unstable in recent years, sometimes falling below NT$10,000 per month, forcing her to take out loans against her home. Despite the setback, Wu remains committed to her music. She has been actively creating new music and hopes to find a record label or agent to collaborate with soon. She also extended her gratitude to her supporters who bought concert tickets, anticipating future performance opportunities.

Wow! What should I do? I spent over 8,000 yuan on the dresses, and the news has already been sent out. The ticket money has also been collected in advance.
