While you've probably never heard of her, Anita Mui was one of the biggest stars in Asia, fondly remembered and forever missed after she left too early.
With a career that began in her early childhood, the Cantopop diva was famed for her contralto vocals in combination with extravagant live performances, changing outrageous costumes throughout, which were rare in female artists. Anita Mui sold over 10 millions albums in her career, which came to an abrupt end in 2003 when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She died later that year at the age of 40, ending her lifelong marriage to stage life.
The title “Madonna of the East” stayed with Anita Mui throughout her career, in both Eastern and Western media.
