Yesterday was a sorrowful day for the Philippine music industry. One of their valuable talents, Francis Magalona, lost his battle against leukemia yesterday, March 6 2009. He was 44.
I was a little doubtful when I first read the plurks and tweets announcing The Man From Manila’s passing. I only believed it when I switched on the TV and saw one of the local TV stations taking a minute to pray for the eternal repose of Francis M.’s soul.
You will be missed, Francis Magalona. May your soul rest in peace.
One of Francis M’s most symbolic songs:
P.S. For those going to the Eraserheads concert, have fun. :D Take care, ok? Don’t wear too much jewelry.
I was with my group mates when I heard this news. It was our break and I was either reading a book or doing my requirement when one of my group mates told me about FM’s death. Apparently, there was a TV where we were staying yesterday.
Of course, FM will always be remembered. May his soul rest in peace.
That’s really sad. If I’m not mistaken, he’s still very young. :(
Crap, he’s dead. I didn’t even know he has leukemia. I used to follow his blog. Pretty talented guy, even outside of music. Freeman will always be one of my favorite pinoy albums.
