On Sunday, the brother of OPM icon April Boy Regino confirmed on Facebook that the singer has passed away at the age of 59.
In a Facebook post, Vingo Regino shared that it was a sad day for him.
Nakakalungkot naman ang araw na ito..wala na ang kuya April Boy ko,
he said.
The post, however, did not identify the singer’s cause of death but April Boy has been diagnosed to have prostate cancer in 2009. And on 2015, the singer shared that he was suffering from diabetic retinopathy, which is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people with diabetes.
In an interview in 2016, he said his left eye became completely blind, while his right eye can only see some light. With this condition, he said his performance became limited.
April Boy's son JC has uploaded a photo of a candle with an "idol" cap on Facebook. The late OPM singer-songwriter was known for his trademark caps.
April Boy, born Dennis Regino Magloyuan Magdaraog, popularized some novelty songs, including Paano Ang Pusko Ko, Umiiyak and Puso and Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin in the 1990s.
