Tung Duong reveals the truth about Kasim Hoang Vu in Sao Mai Rendezvous after 22 years

The news that singer Kasim Hoang Vu died at the age of 46 after a long battle with a violent illness made colleagues and the audience shocked and sad, including Tung Duong - a friend from Sao Mai Diem 2004.

On his personal page, singer Tung Duong emotionally shared about the passing of a friend who used to accompany him in a brilliant period of youth. He wrote: "When I heard the news that Kasim had left the temporary realm in the morning, my heart suddenly sank. Human life is impermanent, meeting in the middle of the world, passing through the same road and then parting ways in the nature of birth and death. You have closed a human life, but the singing and beautiful memories of Sao Mai Rendezvous 2004 still remain in the hearts of friends and audiences."

The status line quickly received thousands of interactions. Many viewers recalled the image of the two young men every year on the stage of the popular music contest, where they created a memorable season together.

In 2004, the program "Sao Mai Rendezvous" became a launching pad for many talented singers. That year's season ended with the victory of Tung Duong in the Arts Council award and Kasim Hoang Vu in the audience's vote award. The two musical personalities are different but both leave a strong mark.

After the contest, Tung Duong and Kasim Hoang Vu kept a close relationship for a while before each chose a separate path to develop their careers. Although they don't often appear together later, the memory of a period of common youth is still a special bond between the two.

After 22 years since the contest, Tung Duong is still constantly creating and renewing himself. He continuously cooperates with many famous musicians and artists, releasing albums such as "Escape", "Cube Colored Tiles", organizing many elaborately invested liveshows.

With 6 times receiving the Dedication Award, Tung Duong is favorably called the "Divo" of Vietnamese music by the audience and experts. Songs such as "Rebirth", "A Round of Vietnam" contribute to affirming his own position on the map of contemporary Vietnamese music.

Meanwhile, Kasim Hoang Vu – the son of the "rock queen" Bich Phuong – pursued a strong, masculine style after the contest. He released albums "For Love", "For Where", "Why", "For You", "Nostalgia", marked by a deep voice and romantic style.

However, in later years, his career gradually slowed down. The album "Calling each other" released in 2013 did not create the expected effect. Since then, he has rarely appeared in entertainment activities. Later, Kasim Hoang Vu moved to the United States to settle down, focusing on his business and personal life.

According to information from his family, Kasim Hoang Vu died at his home in Houston, Texas (USA) on March 1. Since 2023, he has been diagnosed with jaw osteoma – a disease that has caused him to undergo many surgeries, large and small.

The disease not only affects his health but also changes the appearance of the male singer. His face was deformed after surgery, and his body lost significant weight. Despite suffering a lot of pain, he still maintains an optimistic spirit, occasionally updating his health situation with friends and fans. Meanwhile, Tung Duong had the same starting point in Sao Mai Rendezvous 2004 but won more and more glory.

The passing of Kasim Hoang Vu left a deep grief in the hearts of colleagues and the audience. For many people, he is not only a singer who has touched their hearts on the stage of "Sao Mai Rendezvous" every year, but also a symbol of an enthusiastic youth.
