Videos of the candlelight procession held in Lagos for late veteran singer Sound Sultan have gone viral.

Singer, Olanrewaju Fasasi aka Sound Sultan, has died. A statement released by his family says he died on July 11 after a long battle with throat cancer Angioimmunoblastic T-cell. The singer is survived by his wife and three children at the age of 44.

Sound Sultan, a Muslim faithful while he was alive, was buried according to Islamic injunction at a cemetery in New Jersey, U.S. on Sunday July 11 (the same day he died) according to Muslim rites amidst tears and tributes.

President Buhari in a statement signed by his special adviser on Media, Femi Adesina said Sound Sultan’s demise is not only a loss to the Nigerian music industry, but to the country as a whole

A video that surfaced during the funeral showed that his wife, Farida Fasasi broke down entirely and, at one point laid her head on his coffin.
