The statue is located in Satakunta, Pomarku.
The memory of Olli Lindholm, the soloist of the band Yö, who died today, has been honored in the form of a statue in the municipality of Pomarkku.
Ulla Haglund, a chainsaw artist from Alaveteli, created a wooden looking statue from Lindholm in the Pomarku art park.
Morning paper reports that the work was created based on a photo taken by photographer Tiia Santavirta. The statue represents Olli Lindholm singing.

Although Lindholm was born in the neighboring town of Pomarku, Pori, he has always called himself a Pomarkkulan. Markus Myllymäki, who was behind the sculpture project, told Aamulehte, which was the first to report on the statue, that the statue is located in Pomarku, just a hundred meters from “Lindholm’s Pomarkun home”.
Lindholm was laid to rest in the Pomarkku family cemetery in March 2019.
Lindholm died unexpectedly of a ruptured aorta in February 2019. He was 54 years old when he died.
Olli Lindholm passed away at the age of 54. Jenni Gästgivar
