Battery9 singer dies


It's a sad day for local music. Artist and singer, Huyser Burger, who collapsed in November due to acute kidney and liver failure, died early on Monday, reports Beeld. Huyse was one of the original members of music group Battery9 who popularised alternative Afrikaans music with an industrial feel in the 1990s. He is also known as a visual artist. Paul Riekert, Battery9 co-founder, described Huyser as an "uncomfortably creative person who was also very stubborn." RIP Huyser...
