MANILA, Philippines?A female band vocalist succumbed to brain aneurysm Saturday.
Anabel Bosch, lead singer of such bands as Elektrikcoolaid, Spy and Analog and backup vocalist of Tropical Depression, passed away 10 days after she was rushed to the Makati Medical Center. On New Year?s Eve, Bosch complained of a severe headache and was vomiting before she was brought to the Makati hospital.
Doctors diagnosed brain aneurysm and recommended immediate surgery. Bosch slipped into a coma after the operation and never recovered. She died early Saturday morning in a hospital private room. She was 32.
Bosch is survived by her husband Jamie Wilson and daughter, Mishka.
Bosch was well loved by the local rock community for her friendliness and generosity. Dozens of bands joined at least six benefit gigs to raise funds for her hospital expenses while she was confined.
Bosch was a niece of counterculture figure Pepito Bosch, whose ancestral house in Pasay City was a creative refuge of bands such as Cocojam and Jun Lopito. This influenced Bosch to train her sights on a musical career. When she was in high school, Bosch was already a regular at the original Club Dredd along Timog Avenue in Quezon City.
