Legendary musician Bappi Lahiri dies at 69


Music composer and singer Bappi Lahiri died at Mumbai's CritiCare Hospital today. He was 69.

Dr Deepak Namjoshi, who is director of the hospital, told PT, "Lahiri had been admitted to the hospital for a month and was discharged on Monday. But his health deteriorated on Tuesday and his family called for a doctor to visit their home. He was brought to the hospital. He had multiple health issues. He died due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) shortly before midnight."

In 2021, he was admitted to the ICU of the Breach Candy hospital as a precautionary measure after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Certain sections of the media had reported later that year that the singer had lost his voice. However Lahiri denied these reports via social media. He wrote, "Some media outlets are spreading false news about me and my health, which breaks my heart to hear. By the grace of my fans and well-wishers, I am completely healthy."
