anita mui yim-fong -lrb- 10 october 1963 -- 30 december 2003 -rrb- was a hong kong singer and actress .
during her prime years , mui made major contributions to the cantopop music scene while receiving numerous awards and honours .
she remained an idol throughout most of her career , and was generally regarded as a cantopop diva .
mui once held a sold-out concert in hammersmith , london , england , where she was dubbed the `` madonna of asia -lrb- 東方麥當娜 -rrb- '' and brought her to further international fame .
that title stayed with her throughout her career , and has been used as a comparison for both eastern and western media .
in the 1980s , the gangtai style of music was revolutionised by mui 's wild dancing and on-stage femininity .
she was famed for her outrageous costumes and high-power performances in combination with contralto vocals , which are rare in female artists .
her fan base reached far beyond hong kong into many parts of asia , including taiwan , mainland china , singapore and malaysia , and other countries as well .
in the hong kong entertainment industry , where stars often rise and fall quickly , mui remained in the spotlight for 21 years -lrb- 1982 -- 2003 -rrb- .
her career came to a halt in 2003 when she announced that she had cervical cancer , and she died later that year at the age of 40 .
mui 's continuing commemoration by the hong kong entertainment industry was due not only to her music and film legacies , but also her involvement in charity and humanitarian work .
