[edit] Chan's Talent for Music

Chan is not only a skilled singer, but also a versatile musician. He plays a wide variety of musical instruments - the piano, drums, guitar, violin, harmonica, accordion, saxophone, electronic organ as well as the trumpet.

Besides being a backup vocalist and sometimes a producer of his own albums, Chan writes his own music. Some of his works, such as Anticlimax (反高潮) and Song of the Times (時代曲), have been widely welcomed.

[edit] Musical

On 18th and 19 August 2005, Chan performed the musical Wrestling with God (人神鬥), the second programme of Love Music Tour 05 organised by Netvigator. He was the leading actor and producer. Stars featured in the show included famous comedian Jim Chim (詹瑞文), Cantopop singer Wilfred Lau (劉浩龍), Taiwanese talented singer Mavis Fan (范曉萱), Best Supporting Actress Winner of the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards Josie Ho (何超儀), pop duo at17 and Soler. The story was about the competition among different angels (played by the featured stars) to protect the only man alive in the world (played by Eason Chan). The secret guest, veteran singer George Lam (林子祥), played Chan's late father. The audience were impressed by the performers, who told the story through song and dance.

[edit] Trivia

Chan is often compared to Jacky Cheung as both of them lack glamorous appearances, but have finally managed to win the hearts of people from all walks of life with their superb singing skills. (Coincidentally, Jacky Cheung has been Chan’s idol since he was young.)

There is a duet called 天下太平 sung by Chan and Cheung in the album Perfect Match by 林夕，伍樂城 released in April 2006.

Eason's father, Chan Kau-tai, is a former chief engineer of the Housing Department of Hong Kong. Being the prime suspect of a major case of corruption, he was found guilty in 2003 but was cleared in 2005. His trial continues.

Eason was involved in an accident during his concert in Taiwan where he fell off the stage and injured his groin. Later in the hospital it was realized that his testicle had been severely damaged. However, after going through many operations, he fully recovered from his injuries.^{[citation needed]}
