Death

The pop band Seventeen was performing at an event held by state electric company PLN at the Tanjung Lesung resort near the shore of Tanjung Lesung beach when an eruption from Anak Krakatau caused a tsunami that struck the stage from behind, at around 9:30 pm local time.[7][8][9] Along with drummer Windu Andi Darmawan and guitarist Herman Sikumbang, she was recorded as missing after the tsunami.[10] All three were later found dead.[11] Shortly thereafter, her widower, Ifan, the only surviving member, announced his solo career.
