JAKARTA: Musician Ahmad Dhani says that Ari Lasso, and not Once, will perform at an upcoming reunion concert of former Dewa 19 bandmates
AKARTA: Musician Ahmad Dhani says that Ari Lasso, and not Once, will perform at an upcoming reunion concert of former Dewa 19 bandmates.
Dewa 19 recently announced their breakup after being in the music industry for more than two decades. Ari was the band’s vocalist before being replaced by Once Mekel. Once quit the band last year.
“Once has just resigned for a year and is not yet willing to do a reunion concert,” Ahmad Dhani said Tuesday.
He added that Once would be willing to participate in a reunion concert in three to five years after the year that he retired.
“I finally decided to accept the reunion concert offer with Ari Lasso,” he said as reported by kapanlagi.com.
He added that the concert would most likely feature songs that Ari sung with Dewa 19 between 1992 and 1999.
