Winnie Hsin Mourns 'Rock Godfather' Wai-Wai Wong, Who Died Suddenly at 61 in Hawaii

Veteran Taiwanese singer Winnie Hsin expressed her grief following the news of rock musician Wai-Wai Wong's passing. Wong, a prominent figure in the music scene, died in Hawaii at the age of 61. Hsin shared a black and white photo of Wong on Facebook, bidding him a heartfelt farewell with the words, "Rest in peace, continue to roam free and at ease."

Wong, who penned the hit song 'Leisurely and Carefree' for Hsin in 2012, passed away suddenly at his sister's home in Hawaii. He had relocated to the island state in late December. Just a week prior to his death, Wong had shared recent photos with his lawyer, appearing to be in good health. His girlfriend of 31 years, Vicky, was reportedly notified of his death only recently, expressing her sorrow at missing his final moments.

Wai-Wai Wong was celebrated for his classic songs, including 'You Got Me Drunk' and 'Make Everyone's Heart Break.' He had also recently been nominated for a Golden Bell Award for Most Potential Newcomer for his work on 'The Outsider Doctor.' His lawyer's statement indicated that Wong was eagerly anticipating a musical comeback in the month leading up to his death, making his sudden departure all the more poignant.
