  • Sjonni's Friends are an Icelandic tribute band also known at times as Sigurjón's Friends. The band formed in early 2011 when the Icelandic singer Sjonni Brink (real name Sigurjón Brink) died just days before he was to perform his entry at Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins, the Icelandic national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. They successfully qualified for the final where they finished in 20th place overall. Some members have continued with solo singing careers. Band member Vignir Snær Vigfússon came back in 2014 to take part in the Icelandic national final for a chance to represent his country in Copenhagen but failed to win.
