Nagluluksa ngayon ang showbiz industry dahil sa pagpanaw ng kinikilalang OPM legend na si Rico J. Puno.

Bumubuhos ngayon ang mensahe ng pagkalungkot at pagdadalamhati dahil sa pagpanaw ng kinikilalang OPM legend na si Rico J. Puno kaninang madaling araw, October 30.

Dinaan ng kapwa niya celebrities at fans ang kanilang pakikisimpatiya sa mga naulila ng yumaong batikang singer sa social media

Sa kaniyang Instagram account, inihayag ng kaniyang sister-in-law ni Rico na si Anna Puno ang kaniyang pagkabigla at lubos na pagkalungkot sa pagpanaw ng tinawag niyang “TOTAL PERFORMER.”

I am seized with deep emotional shock when I found out that our OPM King - Kuya Rico J. Puno has passed away this morning (manila time). Numbed with grief, I would like to call on all entertainers in the OPM Industry as well as his worldwide fans to stop for a moment and say a prayer to one of the most respected singers in the country. I cannot help but say it was serendipitous that Starmedia prepared a solo 40th Anniversary concert for him and a US tour with the OPM stalwarts and colleagues just recently. Little did I know that this is his Final Bow in the live entertainment world. We will forever miss the TOTAL ENTERTAINER...but his songs will forever cherish in our hearts.

This man was the reason I wanted to be a singer. His voice, his charm, wit and entertainment style has wowed millions of opm fans all over the globe. I am deeply saddened to hear that he has now joined our creator. More than being my idol, he was a dear friend. Everybody loved and adored the great Rico J. Puno. Rest now rico. The whole country applauds you for your contributions as a singer, and entertainer and as a public servant. #ricojpuno
