Popular Beads Uncle Who Always Performs at Orchard Road Has Passed Away at 80 Years Old

If you’ve been to Orchard Road, you definitely would have stopped by and watched this icon perform his craft.

Orchard Road’s Beads Uncle, Mr Oh Ow Kee, has passed away on 5 June 2022.

Master of Beads

Mr Oh was an iconic busker who often performed along Orchard Road. He was a master of beads, artfully swinging chains of them around his neck and waist.

He wasn’t able to perform during the pandemic due to restrictions, but went back to busking after 2 April 2022 when busking was allowed again.

Rumoured Death in 2021

Last year, a TikTok video went viral claiming that Mr Oh had passed away.

However, the co-chair of Buskers’ Association Singapore Johnathan Goh said that Mr Oh was still alive and well. Despite his old age and COVID-19 restrictions, he was still practicing his craft in his free time.

This time, it is no longer some unsubstantiated rumour.
