Taiwanese rock singer and music icon David Huang, known for hit songs such as “Let Every Heart Break” and “You Made Me Drunk,” has died suddenly in Hawaii at the age of 61, according to a lawyer’s statement released by his sisters on June 14. The statement said Huang passed away on the morning of June 2, Hawaii time, at his sister’s home in Honolulu, which corresponds to June 3 in Taipei. It said that in his final month, he had been looking forward to restarting his music journey.
Huang’s sisters, Consulina Wong and Joann Wong, are being treated as his legal heirs and are handling all funeral and estate matters. The lawyer also stated that their law firm, Han-Ying Deli Law Office, is the only authorized contact window for matters related to Huang’s remaining music assets. According to the statement, Huang returned to Hawaii with his sister on December 27, 2025, after ending his life in Taiwan.
The statement strongly denied that anyone other than his sisters had the right to represent Huang, negotiate work matters, or make decisions about his future career. It also said neither Huang nor his family ever had access to manage his social media accounts, and that no one had been officially appointed to handle his entertainment-related communications except the law firm designated by the family.
The lawyers warned that any claims by outsiders about Huang’s work plans, business negotiations, or future arrangements are untrue and have no legal effect on his estate. They also asked anyone using Huang’s name to operate social media accounts or unlawfully access messaging platforms to stop immediately, close those accounts, and respect privacy and personal data rights. The statement added that any false accusations or behavior that damages the reputation or privacy of Huang, his family, friends, or colleagues will be documented and may lead to legal action.
The family also used the statement to express gratitude for the public’s long-standing support. It said Huang spent decades enriching people’s lives with exceptional musical talent, passion, and a gift for connecting people around the world. The family asked the media and the public to give them privacy during this difficult time and to let Huang rest in peace.
The news has prompted widespread attention in Taiwan, where Huang was widely respected as one of the defining voices in Mandarin rock music. Further details about memorial arrangements have not yet been announced.
