Farhad Humayun, a legendary Pakistani musician and vocalist who created the band Overload, died on Tuesday.
The death of the record producer was reported on the Overload band’s official Facebook page.
‘The great Farhad left us for the stars this morning,’ the message adds. In the face of adversity, stoic, unwavering in his ideals, extravagantly charitable, and humorous as heck! Both in spirit and in art, Fadi was much ahead of his time.’
‘He [Farhad] would want us to celebrate his life, therefore we ask his family, friends, and fans to honour him and offer a prayer for him today,’ the statement continued.
The reason for death for the former Coke Studio drummer is unclear, however, Farhad confirmed in 2018 that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. He also said that he has found the best surgeon in the world to operate on him.

I grew up listening to overload, being inspired, electrified and entranced by it. Farhad humayun was my pakistani musical hero through my teenage years. Sad to hear he passed away and suffered with cancer so. He will always be the king of the drums. Allah maghfirat farmayein. pic.twitter.com/yUSPzxoqE5
