For a man facing the death penalty, alleged serial killer Verry Idham Henyansyah reveals more than a little gallows humour in the title of his upcoming album, My Last Performance.

The smooth-faced 31-year-old has already achieved national infamy with his confessions to a series of grisly murders - including a mother and her toddler - and details of his life as a gay man in Muslim-majority Indonesia.

Now Henyansyah, popularly known as Ryan, is chasing fame of a more orthodox kind - with a prison-penned autobiography published in February and a collection of pop songs due out in April.
