SO the Big Yin - Scottish comedian Billy Connolly - will not be coming to Hongkong after all.
Cutting short a sell-out tour of Australia, Connolly packed his bags yesterday and flew directly back to Britain to attend to ''pressing personal matters''.
The risque comic, who shares the same manager as Elton John - John Reid - is married to comedy actress Pamela Stephenson, with whom he has three children, Daisy, seven, Amy, five, and Scarlett, three.
She remained in the couple's London home in Fulham - they own another house in Berkshire - while he was rocking them in the aisles Down Under.
Anders Nelsson, whose Entertainment Company was staging the two concerts that were scheduled for early April, said the news was a bolt from the blue (like some of Connolly's material, perhaps?).
''We are quite disappointed, but luckily we had not started to sell any tickets,'' Nelsson said.
