“Multi-awarded Filipino rap icon Francis Magalona has passed away at the Medical City in Mandaluyong around noon today (March 6, 2009). He was 44.
According to TV reports, this was announced by actor Vic Sotto in the noontime variety show Eat Bulaga, where Magalona used to be one of the hosts.
Magalona, considered as a major pillar of rap music in the country, was diagnosed with leukemia in August 2008. He is survived by his wife Pia Arroyo and children Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Elmo, Arkin, Clara, and actresses Maxene and Saab.” -Yahoo! Philippines
As I found out in yahoo news i was deeply stunned and shocked about the news of the passing of Franicis "Kiko" Durango Magalona. A friend of mine we're chatting in facebook talking about his passing. He told me that supposedly tommorow March 7, 2009 saturday he would guest in the second and final set of the Eraserheads concert. He told me that he would sing in partnership with Ely Buendia (who is also diagnosed with a heart sickness but slowly recovering) "SUPERPROXY" a great song by the Eraserheads.
It's a sad day in the Philippine music industry today as we see a legend pass away and leave us with his legacy. Today, we induct him the he hall of fame in the legends of Philippine music.
Rest in Peace: Francis "Kiko" Magalona
