“Sound Sultan left the world at a young age of 44, but he made his mark and left strong messages for the Nigerian society through various songs with thematic preoccupations that centre on politics, commitment and service to fatherland, among others. The news of the death of popular singer and producer, Lanre Fasasi, popularly known as Sound Sultan, unsettled me greatly. From afar, Sound Sultan cuts the figure of a well-bred young man, who achieved stardom by a dint of hard work and managed to remain relevant without falling to the entrapments of fame and youthful exuberance. In him, Oyo State lost a great and humble artiste and ambassador. We lost an individual who tried his best to positively impact on his society through entertainment. I pray to God to grant everyone related to him, the fortitude to bear the loss”, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
