[KiwiCoromandel]

New Zealand musician Pauly Fuemana, famous for the hit 1995 single How Bizarre, has died....

Pauly, who was frontman for the band OMC, died this morning at North Shore Hospital following a short period of illness.

In 1995 OMC (Otara Millionaires Club) shot to fame with the single How Bizarre which reached number one in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe.

OMC moved between three and four million copies of their album, also titled How Bizarre, making it New Zealand's biggest-selling record.

The band broke up in 2000. They reformed in 2007 and released a single 4 All of Us, featuring actor Lucy Lawless.

Pauly was well regarded in the music community down here in NZ...and like many other Kiwis i`m sad to hear of his untimely demise...a great NZ talent gone.
