AWS singer passes away

2021-02-06 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 14 Comments
Hungarian metal band AWS have announced on social media that frontman Örs Siklósi has passed away after a battle with leukemia. Not much has been disclosed about how long he had struggled with the condition, or whether the band will continue while they process the news.

AWS shot to international fame in 2018 after representing Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest, earning fans with their light-hearted media appearances. Their song, "Viszlát nyár" (a tribute to Siklósi's late father), finished 21st in the Grand Final.

Wow, I hadn't heard of this band before but he was quite a singer. What a loss, hopefully his family and the rest of the band are okay.

He was just finishing his debut solo album, and wanted to speak publicly about his battle with leukemia just before he passed. Gutted.

Leukaemia is an absolutely horrible, horrible thing. Always sad to hear about talent only because they've passed but man, this guy had a great voice huh. Nyugodjon békében.

OK turns out he was diagnosed in June, shortly after appearing at an unofficial Eurovision virtual concert organised by one of the prominent EV blogs. Shows how quickly it can spread.
