Aegis to stage 1st concert without Mercy Sunot
MANILA, Philippines — Original Pilipino Music (OPM) band Aegis will have its first concert without former vocalist Mercy Sunot on February 1 and 2 in New Frontier Theater.
Sunot died last November in California after succumbing to cancer.
During the press conference of their "Halik Sa Ulan" concert, vocalist Jen Sunot said that Mercy really wanted to make it to the concert.
“Dito lang po namin maalis ‘yung mga ano namin, ‘yung lungkot po talaga pero ngayon talagang kailangan po namin, gusto namin matuloy ang concert na ito kahit wala po si Mercy. Kasi para rin po sa kanya, na alam ko na pangarap niya ‘to eh, pangarap niya na mag-concert pa rin nu’ng bago siya naoperahan," Jen said.
“Sabi niya gusto na niyang umuwi, gusto niyang sumama sa concert na ito pero wala eh, talagang umalis na talaga siya sa amin at kailangan magpatuloy po,” she added.
Jen said that Mercy wanted them to continue the band even after she is gone.
"Nandito pa rin po kami, kasi ‘yun ang gusto ni Mercy. Tuloy pa rin po ‘yung Aegis kahit na ugod-ugod na kami. Siya po ang nagsabi sa grupo na wala pong iwanan pero siya po ang nang-iwan sa amin,” she said.
“Ang gusto talaga namin talagang gumaling lang talaga siya pero talagang umalis na talaga siya sa amin. Kailangan namin talagang magpatuloy kaya mas gagalingan po namin para kay Mercy,” she added.
Ogie Alcasid, Morissette, Jona, Julie Anne San Jose, and many more are the band's special guests during the concert.
Fans can look forward to iconic anthems, such as "Basang-Basa sa Ulan," "Luha," "Sayang na Sayang," and many more, bringing nostalgia and passion to the forefront of this special concert.
