(Taipei, June 14 - Reporter Wang Pao-erh) Singer David Huang's sister announced today through legal counsel that Huang passed away recently at the age of 61. Huang was widely known for classic songs such as 'I'm Drunk Because of You' and 'Let Everyone's Heart Break,' and in recent years made his acting debut in the drama series 'The Outsider Doctor'.

The Han Ying De Li Law Firm released a statement, entrusted by David Huang's sisters, Consulina Wong and Joann Wong, to officially confirm that David Huang passed away suddenly on the morning of June 2, 2026, Hawaii time (June 3, Taipei time), at his sister's home in Hawaii, USA.
