Indian Singer Krishna Kumar Kunnath (KK), who gave Indian music lovers many hits over the last three decades, has died at 53. On Tuesday, He performed Nazrul Mancha and later went to his hotel, where he fell ill. KK was brought to a hospital, where he was declared as dead.
KK released the first album, Pal, in 1999. The singer-composer, whose actual name was Krishnakumar Kunnath (KK), then focussed more on Bollywood than on his independent music,
Such hits as Tadap Tadap (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, 1999), Dus Bahane (Dus, 2005), and Tune Maari Entriyaan (Gunday, 2014).
Arup Biswas Minister said about KK's death,
"Singer Anupam Roy called me up and said he is hearing something bad from the hospital. Then I contacted the hospital. They said he was brought dead. Then I rushed to the hospital."
It seems so ominous. The news of KK’s death that too right after a live performance is terrible. He sang for films I was associated with, so his loss seems that much more personal.
