AKARTA: Akhdiyat Duta Modjo, vocalist of pop-rock outfit Sheila on 7, said loyal fans were very important to the band, and the glue that kept them stuck together as a group.
'Fans serve as a reminder for us to keep our ego checked as a group,'
Duta said as quoted by kompas.com.
The 34-year-old said like many other bands, Sheila on 7 often faces internal rifts between its members, which can lead to some uncomfortable times.
'We realize each of us has a strong ego. When problems arise, I usually pose the basic question about what our purpose was in forming the group. We are able to suppress our egos with that thought,' Duta said.
The band, formed in 1996, was a pop phenomenon during its peak years in the early 2000s and was one of the last few pop-rock acts to sell a million records before the Indonesian recording music business hit a decline.
