R.I.P Pauly Fuemana
Pauly passed away after a short illness earlier today, according to news reports.  Very sad indeed - my condolences to his family. His brother Phil Fuemana passed away back in 2005 (read Simon Grigg's comments on Phil's passing and funeral here)

"In 1995 OMC (Otara Millionaires Club) achieved fame with How Bizarre, which reached number one in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe.
OMC sold between three and four million copies of their album, also titled How Bizarre, making it New Zealand's biggest-selling record."

How Bizarre never came out as a single in the US - if you wanted a copy you had to buy the album - far more lucrative.


Watch: 20/20 (TVNZ) clip from 2007 on Pauly's 'comeback' single and more. (link) He says he made $5 million from How Bizarre.
