Loganathan Arumugam, a founder-member of the popular and widely followed Alleycats pop music band, died after losing a year-long battle with lung cancer. He was 54 years old. He who was one of the most recognisable Malaysian musicians with his trademark Afro hairdo, died at the Mount Miriam Hospital here at 10.50am yesterday.

He died to the tune of a collection of early Alleycats songs being played on a portable disc player placed at his bedside. Family members said Loga, as he was fondly known, died with a smile listening to his music which brought him and the Alleycats worldwide fame.

He leaves wife, Susan, 50; son Vigneshwaran, 24, and daughter, Priyadashini, 20. Loga used to play the flute in the band and was also vocalist alongside his brother, David Arumugam, 57.
