#SHOWBIZ: Eric Moo feels lucky to be in showbiz for four decades

Singaporean singer Eric Moo has found himself immensely fortunate to have spent over four decades in the showbiz industry. The Malaysian singer first released an album in 1984 and is set to mark his four-decade milestone with a concert in January 2027 at Resorts World Ballroom in Singapore. He previously held a celebration concert at Arena Of Stars in Malaysia in January 2026.

During an interview with The Straits Times on July 14, the 63-year-old expressed his deep gratitude for the continued support from his Singaporean fans who have been attending his shows and loving his hits for such a long time. He fondly mentioned songs like Foolish Heart (1994) and Love Is So Heavy (1995). Moo confessed that some people don't even live up to 40 years, making his longevity in the entertainment business truly remarkable.

Looking back at the 1980s, the star admitted that he never imagined lasting so long in the entertainment business. He recalled that when Hong Kong singer-actor Alan Tam held an anniversary show, he thought 15 years was already an impressive duration. Now, at over 50 years of singing, Moo has become an iconic figure among Asian celebrities, known for his snow-white hair and tanned complexion. Many have wondered if he dyes his hair white, but he assured that it is a natural look.

Moo's most recent album, We Worship Our Messiah Forever (2018), features Christian music, while his latest release is the song A Love Letter That Will Never Be Forsaken (2022). Despite the absence of new material, he is content with performing his old tracks. However, he strongly opposes drastic rearrangements during live performances, as they often confuse and disappoint the audience.

Moo has lived in Taiwan and Beijing and visits Singapore three or four times a year for work and to spend time with his family, including his wife, Taiwanese former model Pang Meijun, and his two daughters in their 20s.
