Fans can pay their respects from 6pm to 10pm local time at the Grand Hall of the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point.

Lee’s husband, the Canadian billionaire Rockowitz, is not among the eight pallbearers and was not mentioned in the announcement. The couple married in 2011 and did not have children together.

There will be eight pallbearers, including her brother-in-law Billy Ho, singer Jenny Tseng, two close friends, co-president of Warner Music Asia Jonathan Serbin and one of Lee’s fans, Yang Yang.

A live stream will be available from 4pm to 7pm on July 31 and 9.30am to 10.30am on Aug 1 on the YouTube channel of the singer-songwriter’s older sister Nancy Lee.

The family said taking photos or filming would not be allowed at the service.

Nancy Lee earlier said memorial services would also be held in mainland China and Taiwan in August.

Coco Lee, who had struggled with depression, died in hospital aged 48 on July 5 after trying to take her own life.

Hong Kong authorities have considered honouring Lee on the Avenue of Stars, the promenade reserved for artists who made significant contributions to the city’s film and television industries.

The Hong Kong-born star launched her career at age 18 when she won first runner-up in broadcaster TVB’s New Talent Singing Awards.

She was the first Chinese singer to be signed by record label Sony Music and claimed another first for the country when she performed at the Oscars in 2000, when she sang “A Love Before Time” from director Ang Lee’s award-winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
