Members (since 1985) Current lineup
Ahmad Azhar bin Othman (Awie)lead vocals (1985–1994, 2000–present) Kamarullizam bin Kamarudin (Syam)lead, rhythm and slide guitar, background vocals (1985–1988, 2018–present; session musician 2017–2018) Edrie Hashim (Edrie)rhythm, lead and slide guitar, backing vocals (2018–present; session musician 2017–2018)
After Joe left the group at the end of 2016, Wings used the name Wings & Superfriends for a while for the Wings & Superfriends Concert: Belenggu Irama held at Istana Budaya in 2017, Belenggu Irama Terbaik. This was because Wings agreed to require the services of two experienced lead guitarists, namely Syam, who is also an original member of Wings, and Edrie Hashim (Former member of the Chapters) as guest musicians who were given the title Superfriends to replace Joe. In 2018, Syam and Edrie officially joined Wings after Awie, Eddie and Black agreed to make the Wings group five members and the name Wings & Superfriends was no longer used.
