Wayne Seah
Gone too soon.

Arguably the most down-to-earth, charismatic, influential and daredevil band in Singapore’s history has lost one of its members.

The Suns were a huge replacement for Electrico last year at NTU’s Welfare Fest. As with all events organised on campus, technical difficulties abounded, but The Suns kept their cool and did what they came to do - entertain. When lead vocalist Sanjeev Veloo aka San Singer had a problem with his guitar - the string broke, I believe - Wayne came up and did a smashing five-minute non-stop drum solo that just got even the most laid-back person in attendance clapping and cheering. You almost thought the guitar incident was planned just so that Wayne’s ability could be showcased. There and then, Wayne proved that what made The Suns so popular Down Under was how each member was a talented musician in their own right. They were pioneers of the local rock music scene and they were home to stay.

Rest in peace, Wayne.
