After more than three decades, the legendary Slavonian rock band Opća Opasnost has officially closed its doors. Frontman Pero Galić is starting a new chapter in his career, admitting that the break with the past was not easy. The death of the founder and bassist Slaven Živanović left the band without emotional and legal unity, which is why the band will no longer perform under the name Opća Opasnost. Pero Galić announces a solo musical path with a new band featuring his son Sebastijan, and is working on his first solo song. Despite facing the loss of a close friend, Galić remains on good terms with former band members and continues his musical career.
