(Kuala Lumpur) Nicholas Teo who has been hospitalised for a week has his condition under control now; in order to concentrate on getting well, Nicholas Teo has decided to fully stop working for 2 months after discussing with his recording company, at the same time confirming the news that <Guang Ming Daily> had reported earlier about the issue.

Nicholas Teo who’s stopping work for 2 months, has rejected many local, Taiwan and China performances; his income from all this including TV appearances was approximately RM500k

Nicholas Teo’s manager Li Shu Ting revealed, “The doctor said that although Nicholas Teo’s condition is stable and has been approved for discharge, he still hopes that he (Nicholas) would rest quietly for some time, prevent him from exhaustion and going around for performances, because this would cause him psychological stress indirectly, and affect his speed of recovery.” The recording company extremely understands and agrees with the decision to temporarily reject or rearrange all appearances, performances, and events which had been accepted for November and December, in order for Nicholas Teo to focus on recovering without any worries.

According to reports, Nicholas Teo had been in talks for 2 more commercial product endorsements. Although Nicholas Teo regrets that he’s unable to attend all the events that he had earlier promised, including the “Ice-Cream4U” Charity Concert on October 30, an autograph session in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah on October 31, <F.I.R Concert> in Macau on November 7, other local and overseas events and some TV recordings in China, he has to make his health a priority, resting first in order to continue going on in the future.

Besides this, another affected event is a visit to Vietnam with WorldVision in December. Nicholas Teo had been looking forward and hoping to make a personal visit there, and meet with the little children whom he’s been sponsoring (adopting). Due to the change in plans, Nicholas Teo hopes that he can accomplish this wish in the future.

Li Shu Ting expressed that actually Nicholas Teo had been scheduled to start filming for a new idol drama on November 1st, but due to his emergency hospitalization, she has decided to reject it on his behalf. “Negotiations for this drama has been going on for half a year, the casting team had insisted on Nicholas being the male lead, but he got admitted into hospital at this time, so I could only reject it.” She continued, “We need to make Nicholas Teo’s health the top priority, performances and event opportunities will come again in future. Fortunately, photoshoots and event appearances for this year that had been earlier agreed on with the companies he’s endorsing has been completed, so they won’t be affected; we’re also thankful for the concerned phone calls from the media and companies, Nicholas expressed his gratefulness and he’ll continue to put in more effort.”

The doctor expressed that Nicholas Teo might be discharged next week; his parents are staying in Kuala Lumpur to take care of him. Nicholas who’s recovering doesn’t forget to crack a joke, saying “I believe my mum will kidnap me back home to rest, haha…”

FUnable to attend “Ice-Cream4U” Charity Concert, Nicholas Teo said apologetically, “Hope that the brothers and sisters (close friends) who are performing will work hard! As for the fans, I hope that I will be able to meet with them in various locations quickly.

Let us work hard together; thank you everyone for all of your concern and encouraging words.”

Nicholas Teo has many overseas fans; he revealed in an interview, there were fans from China who didn’t mind spending money in order to spend more time with him: “There was once when I held an autograph session, there were a few female fans who were businesswomen, they brought almost 100 albums for me to sign. After that, they expressed that they wanted to buy all the albums in the music store, and let me sign them as well.” Asking if he would accept courtship from a fan?
