So sad....biding farewell to Wong Ka Kui 黄家驹... 1993...
Wong Ka-Kui (June 10, 1962 - June 30, 1993) was a Hong Kong composer, songwriter, musician and singer. He was the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and the founder of the Hong Kong rock band Beyond.
While filming a gameshow for Fuji Television in Japan on June 24, 1993, Wong Ka-Kui fell off a 3 meter platform head first, and was hospitalized immediately. He died on 30 June 1993 after spending several days in coma due to internal bleeding from head injuries.
His funeral in Hong Kong congested the traffic really badly.
And many celebrities sent him off. For those who have never heard of Beyond or their music, lets just say.. the impact of Ka Kui's death in 1993 to the HK music scene was some what like Lennon's death.
