Kapanlagi.com - Glenn Fredly has passed away today (8/4). He was known as a renowned musician in Indonesia with talent and successful works that stole hearts.

This news of his departure surprised many, especially fellow musicians. Melly Goeslaw also feels the same as a friend.

"After having dinner, my journalist friend called me. He asked if it's true that Glenn Fredly passed away, I was shocked and immediately looked for information. I asked Hedi Yunus, Yuni Shara, and Armand Maulana. Hedi also didn't know, Armand and Yuni took a long time to respond, maybe because they were still reciting prayers for the night of Nisfu Sya'ban. I checked online news, but there was still no news. So, I asked my manager to find out, and finally got the news that it's true, he has passed away. I was really shocked," said Melly Goeslaw when contacted by Kapanlagi.com, Wednesday (8/4).

The departure of someone in the midst of the corona outbreak certainly becomes a choice whether to still attend the funeral or not. Melly chose to pray from afar.

"Not attending the funeral because the situation does not allow it, we have to stay at home, we can only pray from afar," she concluded.
