At the funeral of musician Thanh Tung on the morning of March 22, many Hanoi artists came to say their final goodbyes to him. MC Phan Anh quietly wrote some heartfelt words for the musician he admired.

Musician Nguyen Cuong came to see his 'old friend' for the last time.

In recent years, artists of Nguyen Cuong's generation have passed away one after another.

Singer My Dung covered her face and cried when her respected teacher passed away. Many years ago, she was fortunate to be favored by the late musician and assigned to perform the song 'Hoa cuc vang' (a song he wrote for his wife) in his last live show in 2008. To My Dung, musician Thanh Tung was like a teacher, a father who taught her many meaningful things. She once cherished the dream of making a CD of Thanh Tung's music, but that plan was left unfinished since he fell ill.

For Thanh Lam, the late musician was like a teacher. When he passed away, she was on tour in the US so she was shocked when she heard the sad news.

Thanh Lam hugs and comforts her eldest son, musician Thanh Tung. She, musician Quoc Trung, singer Ha Tran, and Tung Duong had planned to organize a private concert to honor him. But before that plan could come to fruition, he passed away.

Although People's Artist Thanh Hoa rarely performed Thanh Tung's compositions while he was alive, she still had a lot of affection for his talent and personality.
