Overload’s front man Farhad Humayun passed away on Tuesday, the band announced on social media. The magnificent Farhad Humayun & Overload left us for the stars this morning. He had earlier been diagnosed with and announced recovery from brain tumor.
Stoic in the face of challenges, uncompromising in his values, generous to a fault, witty as hell! Fadi was far too ahead of his time, both in spirit and art. He would want us to celebrate his life, so we request his family, friends and fans to honour him and say a prayer for him today.
We can almost hear him say these words by David Bowie: “I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring”.Godspeed our gentle giant and thank you for creating a Riot.
May Allah grant him the highest rank in Jannah and give his family sabr to bear the irreparable loss.
