Liu Huan grave and cause of death disclosed by wife Lu Lu, Digi Mart USA News (Beijing, China): Liu Huan was buried on November 12 at the foot of the Great Wall in Huairou, Beijing. A portrait of the singer stands to the left of the gravestone, and the grave is surrounded by white lilies, white hydrangeas and white chrysanthemums.
On the same day, his wife, Lu Lu, released a long letter through host Shui Junyi describing her husband’s years-long struggle with illness and the real circumstances of his final stage of life. She said he had been battling bladder cancer for 14 years and ultimately died of septic shock.
Shortly after completing the first season of The Voice of China, Liu Huan began treatment that he largely kept private at his own wish. Lu Lu said he did not want to live with a urine bag and had said he would rather die than wear one, and the couple kept his condition out of public view while he continued to work.
Lu Lu said that in 2026 he continued treatment and tried new drug regimens, and some lesions briefly showed signs of shrinking, giving the family hope. Even as his health declined, he remained interested in music and considered a theme song offer for the film The Wandering Earth 3.
Lu Lu said she hopes to continue the Liu Huan Original Music Public Welfare Fund with their daughter, Liu Yisi, to support young music creators, and to establish the “Huanshengleidong” immersive memorial hall to share his works and artistic legacy.
