KARACHI: Rock band “Junoon” is set to make a comeback and announced to release its first track after a 15-year hiatus and that too for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.
Singer Ali Azmat shared video on his Facebook account in which he said: “Am proud to share this news with you that Junoon is working together on a track for the first time in 15 years to support the Pakistan Cricket Team! Can’t wait to share the final track and video with you once its released. Sooper hai Pakistan ka Junoon, Sooper hai Pakistan ki team!!”
Azmat was also seen in the video along with guitarist Brian Connell. “This song is for people all over Pakistan, and especially those who are marginalised,” Azmat added.
The last time Junoon released a World Cup song, it was the timeless classic Jazba Junoon, back in 1996. Now, 23 years later, the group has come together once again.
Founded by Ahmad in 1990 in Lahore, the Junoon released multiple albums and performed all over the world.
In 2005, the band split as O’Connell returned to the United States and lead vocalist Azmat and guitarist/vocalist Ahmad went their separate ways to launch solo careers.
