To be known as the “Boy Band from the Greater Bay Area”, the trio are expected to perform in Foshan City, Guangdong province, in November.
“The band was formed to thank our fans for their support all this while. We will sing the theme songs of television series, especially those from Alan Tam and Jackie Cheung.
“They are from our era. We feel that our vocals are okay,” said Cheung, adding that chances were high that they would be performing in Malaysia as well.
Dressed in T-shirt, long pants and wearing a pair of slippers, he is now filming a movie titled Behind The Shadows in Malaysia.
Cheung, who last came to the country five years ago, said he would complete his shooting on Oct 1.

Behind The Shadows is a joint production between Koo’s company, One Cool Film, and local film production agency, Filmforce Studio.
Cheung said many places here were ideal filming locations, adding that industry players were keen to do their shooting here.
“If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be here again in October for another movie shoot,” he added.
