Singer-Composer Bappi Lahiri passed away last night at 11 45pm at the age of 69. As per an official statement from the Criticare Hospital in Juhu where he was admitted, he was suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and recurrent chest infection. The veteran was hospitalised for 29 days post which he had recovered and was discharged. He was infected by Covid last year and since then he had OSA.
It can be rightly said that he is the pioneer of disco music in Indian cinema, and his songs from the 80s and 90s are remembered even today. The music industry and the country mourns his loss, as there’s no other ‘Disco King’ that we have. His last rites will take place tomorrow.
