I am the eldest son, Sean, (on the right) and I am creating a memorial tribute in honor of my fathers' amazing career and for the people whose lives he touched.
On October 12, 2019, My dad past away after suffering a heart attack while on stage, rehearsing for a scheduled show. He was on a solo tour in Japan.
The tour was scheduled to continue on or near October 17th. He collapsed on Oct 8th but fell into a coma. We were unable to fly out to Japan due to one of the biggest typhoons to ever hit Japan in decades. The typhoon basically remained stationary for a few days as if it were blocking our path. Strangely, as soon as we received news of his passing, the typhoon had moved on.
