SINGAPORE - Radio veteran, singer, club DJ and writer Chris Ho died of stomach cancer on the morning of Sept 27.
A post on his Facebook page, as well as on radio station Mediacorp Gold 905's page, stated that he had been battling cancer for the past two months.
His death has sparked an outpouring of tributes from friends, fans and colleagues in the media and entertainment industry, many of whom were not aware that he was ill.
Ho, also known as X'Ho, was a presenter on Gold 905's evening drive-time show, Homestretch With Chris Ho, but it is understood that he had not been on air for several months.
He was an inspiration to many in the radio industry, says Bernard Lim, program director of radio stations Kiss 92 and ONE FM 91.3.
"Chris Ho has always been a mentor and inspiration to me. Many years ago, he roused my passion in radio and landed me my first freelance job in Rediffusion back in the 1980s.
"It is truly shocking and sad to hear the news. We have lost a great radio voice in Singapore."
As a singer, Ho was the frontman for Zircon Lounge, a 1980s band that has been credited as one of the pioneers of the alternative music scene in Singapore.
He has released several solo albums, including Singapore Uber Alles in 2011.

Ho also wrote about music and other subjects for publications such as The Straits Times and now-defunct music magazine BigO.
His books include Skew Me, You Rebel Meh? (1998), in which he wrote about socio-political issues in Singapore.
Ho was famously secretive about his age, but according to close friends, he was in his 60s when he died. He is survived by his mother.
A wake will be held at Ruby Room, Singapore Casket on Sept 27 from 6 to 11pm and from Sept 28 to 30, 11am to 11pm.

Soothing voice indeed he don't laugh like those stupid ileetating djsSad news indeed. Always enjoyed listening to his soothing voice and his radio show.
RIP.
I would say he and William Xavier are the only 2 DJs I would listen to including B. Richmond for the oldies section on Sunday mornings. The rest are all crap and talk cock.
Hey i also remember. Mr X!
Brian Richmond also good!
I used to like listening to the oldies too!
Chris & William Xavier were alright. Brian's a regular bloke but for his silly M Cup commentary.
Brian ok lah. His voice also low baritone.Chris & William Xavier were alright. Brian's a regular bloke but for his silly M Cup commentary.
His son's better with voice box
Still too young to go. Met him at Zouk some 17 years ago. Took the time to engage with some small talk with our group regarding music. Friendly humble chap. I remembered him telling us to listen to then new station Lush FM as he was just made a DJ there. From then on, I was converted to jazz, lounge, chill out music, a big difference to my past music interests of big beat, rave and drum and bass. RIP Chris.
Yup. His Malaysia Cup Commentary was really comical.Chris & William Xavier were alright. Brian's a regular bloke but for his silly M Cup commentary.
He mentioned Damien Sin, who was a good friend of mine but sadly died of an overdose. One of the best guitarist I ever know. Always went jamming together many years back. Fond memories...
It won't be long when the other Ho will join Chris and her in laws down below. Her pondan husband too.
