MANILA, Philippines – OPM icon April Boy Regino passed away Sunday, November 29. He was 59.
The sad news was confirmed by his brother Vingo Regino in a Facebook post.
“Nakakalungkot naman ang araw na ito… wala na ang kuya April Boy ko,” he said.
Reports said the 'Jukebox Idol' succumbed to acute respiratory failure.
In 2015, Regino was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy which caused him to lose his sight in his left eye. In 2014, he quit showbiz after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer though he later revealed he was "cancer-free".
April Boy popularized some of the novelty songs "Paano Ang Puso Ko", "Umiiyak Ang Puso" and "Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin" during the 1990s and is known for his trademark caps.
His brothers Vingo and Jimmy are members of novelty group April Boys.
