After the highly anticipated collaboration concert “Dear Heart” last October to November, featuring the iconic duo Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion, the spotlight once again shines on their relationship—but this time, offstage. In a recent round table interview following her performances for the fifth-anniversary celebration of Filipino insurance company InLife’s “Sheroes” campaign, Sharon Cuneta addressed the controversial rift between her and her ex-husband Gabby Concepcion.
The concert, named after one of their beloved movies, was met with excitement and nostalgia from fans eager to witness the reunion of the former power couple on stage. However, it seems that the harmony found in their on-screen chemistry did not extend to their off-stage negotiations for a follow-up concert titled “P.S. I Love You.”
In a candid moment during the interview, Cuneta revealed that “P.S. I Love You” was intended to be a grander spectacle, promising a repertoire even more captivating than its predecessor. She expressed her disappointment that despite the preparations and eagerness from both parties, the negotiations for the follow-up concert fell through.
While Cuneta did not delve into specifics about the reasons behind the failed negotiations, she hinted at external factors beyond their control. “Apparently, negotiations did not go through,” she disclosed, choosing her words carefully. “But let’s just say hindi s’ya natuloy not because of us.”
The actress-singer confessed her excitement and readiness to once again share the stage with Gabby Concepcion, emphasizing her desire to bring joy to their fans through their performances. “I was so excited and ready to go,” she shared wistfully. “So sayang, nanghihinayang ako, because I made so many of our fans happy, I wanted to make many more of them happy.”
Despite her hopes, Cuneta expressed doubt that the long-awaited follow-up concert would ever come to fruition. The unresolved tension between her and Gabby Concepcion casts a shadow over any future collaborative endeavors, leaving fans disappointed and yearning for closure.
As the “Megastar” continues to navigate the complexities of her personal and professional life, her openness about the challenges she faces serves as a reminder of her resilience and authenticity. While the curtain may have closed on the possibility of another concert with Gabby Concepcion for now, Sharon Cuneta’s enduring legacy as an icon of Philippine entertainment remains unwavering, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her fans.
