鳳飛飛常年委托的法律顧問江燕偉今天(2月13日)出面代為召開記者會，宣佈這件令人遺憾的消息。江燕偉表示，鳳飛飛在1月3日凌晨3時19分病逝，當時傢人都陪在身邊。

Taiwanese singer Fong Fei-Fei died on Jan 3 in Hong Kong after battling lung cancer, reports said. She was 60.

Her attorney lawyer Jiang Yen-wei said Monday that Feng died on Jan. 3 in Hong Kong but relatives had kept it secret following the singer's wish not to sadden her fans ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year three weeks later.

He says her ashes were buried at her birth place in Taoyuan, near Taipei.

Feng won fans in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and other Chinese communities with her ballads and love sonnets. She made her last public appearance in May to call off a planned Taiwan concert, saying she needed to recover from a raspy voice.

Fong's husband of 20 years, businessman Zhao Hongqi, 70, also died of lung cancer in 2009.
