The King of Pinoy Rap, Francis Magalona, died yesterday - Friday, March 6, 2009. The singer who started his career as a breakdancer, then later on ventured into acting, music, and hosting, is best known for his songs "Kaleidoscope World" and "Mga Kababayan" the latter of which is still very popular among the young.
Francis is a son of veteran actors Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran, both of whom have passed away years ago. He is married to Pia Arroyo and has eight lovely children.
The 44-year-old singer-actor-host was diagnosed with leukemia late last year and had undergone chemotherapy. Just when his fans thought he was doing okay, he was rushed to the hospital Thursday night and was admitted at the ICU early Friday morning.
Francis Magalona died Friday noon due to multiple organ failure secondary to sever sepsis and secondary to pneumonia.
The wake is open to the public starting today, March 7, from 6 am to 6 pm. Public viewing will only be until Tuesday, March 10.
Francis' "Eat Bulaga" family is grieving for the loss of their co-host and friend. Watch this news clip where Vic Sotto announced Francis Magalona's death and asked everyone for a moment of silence.
