ICONIC rock band Search, which hit the top of the domestic charts in the 1980s, will soon be launching a book on its journey to fame, reported Berita Harian.
“The book is currently being edited and we are waiting for the right time to launch it,” said vocalist Amy.
Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, 64, said the group is also preparing to hold an exhibition on its history at Komtar JBCC in Johor Baru, as that was where they started their journey.
Amy shocked his fans when he announced in 2020 that he was breaking up with Search, only to reunite with original band members Nasir, Hillary Ang and Man Kidal a year later.
