In this article published on this date 10 years ago, on the 20th anniversary of his death, writer Michael Cheang paid tribute to his musical genius, rock star charisma, and laments the passing of a true rock star who, thanks to his contribution to rock music in Asia, surely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greatest rock stars who ever lived, but also tragically died young.
