Fans light up Jordan Chan's no holds barred concert

Hong Kong singer Jordan Chan may have been credited with combining hip-hop and Cantopop, but it looks like he got more than he bargained for when he did a gig in Shantou, Guangdong. While hip-hop has a grimy, hard-assed reputation, it's fair to call Chan's impression hip-hop-lite.

Which brings us back to the gig in Shantou, where he claimed that he was assaulted with light sticks, those luminescent concert props that look like sabers from Star Wars, a prop any pop fan worth their salt here is required to wave in unison.

According to a number of sources, the 44-year-old Chan was tripping the light fantastic and busting out his moves when fans got so excited they started throwing their light sticks at him. One hit Chan on the head and he went ballistic. He attempted to vent his temper by smashing his microphone.
