On September 30, singer Zhao has already passed out the news of his death at the age of 58, which surprised netizens. As for the reason for his death, there is no specific announcement, but the folk singer who has been obsessed with music all his life has long been reported to be seriously ill.
Subsequently, Song Dongye sent a condolence letter confirming the news, he said: "No need to suffer from the world anymore, the boss is all the way!" Between the words, it was revealed that Boss Zhao had suffered from illness before his death.
Zhao is already one of China's first generation of rock musicians, and his younger brother is the famous drummer Zhao Muyang. Before his death, he published the album "Living in 1988", representative works such as "Am I Your Most Beloved Person", etc., many people prefer to call him "Boss Zhao", because he is almost the originator of the rock circle, and he loves music all his life and also dedicates himself to music.
Zhao has been born in Ningxia in 1963, his parents are engaged in literature and art-related work, he also has a younger brother Zhao Muyang, Zhao has been admitted to the Normal University, he opened his own music road, originally he could be a teacher after graduation, the result is that Zhao has been uneasy in the room, chose to be a rock singer, group band to do performances, became a prominent figure in school, almost expelled from school.
In 1989, at the age of 26, he became a member of the North Drift clan, when his younger brother Zhao Muyang had already become famous in Beijing, known as the "Northwest Drum King", and has cooperated with many filmmakers so far, but Zhao has no luck as a younger brother, he loves music, but he has not tasted popularity.
Zhao has missed the 80s the most, he said that era is the last innocent era of mankind, so he also refused to grow, has been stuck in that era, lifestyle or thought, Zhao has stubbornly chosen to "stay behind".
He even released an album of "Living in 1988", and Zhao has upheld his own principles, saying: "I didn't write garbage, I didn't sing garbage, and I have always been enemies of garbage." "Words are full of disdain for the world.
Zhao is already very obsessed with music, and even unwilling to work to survive, insisting on using music to support himself, living on the help of relatives and friends, and even being forced by relatives and friends to perform on stage, and also playing drums for rock legends such as Mutuigua and Zhang Chu. However, these still cannot change Zhao's already situation, he has been poor all his life, and the 58-year-old is already like an old man of sixty or seventy years old.
Some people say that Zhao is already the first person in the spirit of Chinese rock and roll, better than Dou Wei. There are also people who say that "listening to songs does not know Zhao, and listening to all the folk songs is also in vain", but no matter how to describe Zhao Has, for the younger generation, he is like a "strange old man".
Zhao had already heard the news of his critical illness many years ago, and even once went everywhere to collect donations, he had many vices, and he also admitted to drinking and vomiting blood many times.
A few years ago, the media visited him and found that he had become worse and worse over the years, living in a remote small village in Beijing, and Zhao had already said that when he was well, he would definitely go singing again. During this period, Zhao has made a brief comeback, but it is also fleeting.
Now that the news of his death has come out, unexpectedly but seemingly particularly lamentable, this hard-to-define folk singer, like a paranoid of the times, dedicated his life to the music he loves, is also limited to music, and he was proud of his life, but he also suffered from poverty. I can only say that I hope that Boss Zhao will go all the way!
