The vocalist died from complications brought by breast and lung cancer. Sunot&rsquo;s most recent TikTok upload was made just two days before her passing. In the video, she asked her fans to pray for her after a critical lung surgery. &ldquo;Tapos na &lsquo;yung surgery ko sa lungs, pero biglang nahirapan akong huminga, so dinala ako sa ICU. Pray for me guys, please. Please pray for me that this ordeal will be over soon,&rdquo; she said.
Close friends say that she wanted to go back to the Philippines on November 16, EST. However, she was not allowed because of her condition. She later succumbed to multiple organ failure.
OPM pop-rock band Aegis rose to fame with their hit songs, &ldquo;Halik,&rdquo; &ldquo;Basang-basa sa Ulan,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Luha,&rdquo; and was scheduled to have a Valentines concert on February 1 and 2, 2025. The band has no further announcements about this event at this moment.
Let us all offer our condolences to the bereaved. Rest in peace, Mercy.
