Nathan Lee held his father's portrait in a daze at the funeral, unable to see his face one last time.

On February 6, Nathan Lee posted two photos from his childhood and adulthood with his father, Mr. Truong Trieu Duong - a famous diplomat, with the status: "Rest in peace, Dad, I love you."

Nathan Lee's father passed away in Hanoi at the ag.e of 70. The cause of Mr. Truong Trieu Duong's sudden passing was determined to be a stroke. In response to Nathan Lee's great shoc.k, many Vietnamese stars such as Ly Nha Ky, Duong Khac Linh, Thuy Hanh... sent their condolences and shared the loss. Mr. Truong Trieu Duong's funeral and memorial service took place on February 9 at the Ministry of National Defense Funeral Home, Hanoi, after which his body was buried at a cemetery in Phu Tho province.

Nathan Lee said he was shocked to hear that his father had passed away from a stroke. 'For more than a year now, I have lived far away from my family and have not seen my relatives. In recent months, I have been mainly in Ho Chi Minh City and Thailand. When my father passed away, I was abroad. When I heard the bad news, I was shocked and immediately flew back to Hanoi. For the past four days, I have hardly slept. As the eldest son and the eldest grandson of the family, I had to try to stand firm and stay calm at the funeral so that my family could take care of my father's funeral,' Nathan Lee told the media on the morning of February 10.

Nathan Lee's father held the following positions: Vietnamese Ambassador to the Philippines, Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chief Representative of Vietnam Senior Officials at the Asia-Europe Cooperation Forum, and Governor of the Asia-Europe Foundation. He was awarded the Order of Sikatuna, Grand Cross - Gold Distinction by the President of the Philippines - the country's highest awar.d for foreign representatives.

During his lifetime, Nathan Lee's father had a great influence on the singer's life. Nathan Lee once said he admired his father's dedicated and serious way of working. The two also had a connection in music and art. The last time the two appeared in public together was at an event organized by the male singer, which took place in 2021.

Nathan Lee once shared: "My father and I often meet each other. Every time we eat together, we only tell funny stories and don't ask too much about work. I often take my father's things, many of which are expensive and many of which have sentimental value. But my father loves his children so he doesn't care. Many times my parents call and ask: Where are you? Come home and eat with the family. I say: I'm in New York. The next day I say: I'm in Paris. My parents wait for me to fly for a few dozen hours and then come home to eat with them, they can't come home right away. I say this to show how my family lives. People who are not of the same class shouldn't compare themselves to me."

Nathan Lee said that since 2023, he has been constantly experiencing incidents, sometimes suffering from psychological crises and severe depression. 'I am trying to regain balance, overcome the trauma and incidents to live optimistically and move forward,' Nathan Lee said.

Nathan Lee's real name is Truong Trieu Truc Lan. He was born in Hanoi but grew up in New York and France. At the ag.e of 17, Nathan Lee became a young model and a bright prospect for Elite Model Management.

Until 2008, Nathan Lee decided to return to Vietnam and join showbiz activities. However, instead of being a model like when he lived abroad, Nathan Lee became known to the audience as a singer. It is not surprising that Nathan Lee has a strong singing voice because he studied vocal music for 6 years.

In 2016, Nathan Lee became the first Vietnamese male singer to appear on France 2 - one of the "four pillars" of French national television. Here, he had the opportunity to make reports and film talk shows to promote new music projects in the international market.
