Kantai’s wife, Irene, has spoken up for the first time since he was laid to rest. She said she was his biggest fan and could not wait for a song to be released. She made it a point to always go to the studio and listen to each and every song.
Sometimes I would go with him to the studio when he’s recording or sometimes I would pick him up. And on our way home we would listen to the music. In fact, I listened to all his songs. Every day I had to pass by the studio to listen and understand his music.
I was at home when I was called at 7am, and by 7.30, I was in the hospital. I was told Chris had breathing problems, but by the time I got there, I found him already dead, despite rushing to the facilityKantai used to make dinner for me and my daughter almost every day.
Chicken and fish fillet were his favourite meals. He also rapped for us almost every night and even dedicated songs to me, which we then sang togetherKantai will never be forgotten. We love him and we have his music so we can listen to him any day any time.”
