The frontman for the pop band "Seventeen", Riefian Fajarsyah, the only survivor of a tsunami which hit the coastal area in Pandeglang regency and the beaches around the Sunda Strait last week, buried his young wife just a day after the funerals of his bandmates.

The Indonesian pop group Seventeen was devastated by a tsunami wave during an open-air concert in the city of Tanjung Lesung, Indonesia, last week. The incident occurred during a beachfront performance, when water destroyed the stage while the group was performing on it. Local media had earlier reported that the wife of the band's frontman, Dylan Sahara, was missing, while two bandmates were reported dead.
