Fish Leong, 34, a Chinese singer with Malaysian origins, will stage her second concert in London on Friday at Wembley Arena, after a successful debut concert in the British capital last year.

Titled "Love Library", the concert will focus on Chinese romantic songs, and is aimed at attracting a young audience, many of them Leong's fans from China.

Leong has since performed in many concerts, in China and overseas.
