"Bappi Lahiri passed away a little before midnight”.


Mumbai: Acclaimed Bollywood singer-composer Bappi Lahiri has passed away in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday (February 16). He was 69.
As per details, Lahiri was admitted to Criticare Hospital in Mumbai’s Juhu area. He was brought to the hospital after his health deteriorated on Tuesday night and doctors tried to revive him but they couldn't.
The doctor who was treating the musician, told, "Bappi Lahiri passed away a little before midnight”.
Bappi’s death comes less than a fortnight after music icon Lata Mangeshkar died at the age of 92.
The veteran singer had tested positive for Covid-19 in April 2021, after which he was confined to full bed rest.
Bappi Lahiri was being treated for multiple illnesses.
The singer-composer, a familiar figure for many with his trademark gold chains that he wore for luck and his sunglasses, was known for his songs in several films of the late 70s-80s. These included "Chalte Chalte", "Disco Dancer", and "Sharaabi".
His last Bollywood song was “Bhankas” for the 2020 film "Baaghi 3".
The legend made his debut in Bollywood by providing the music score for the 1973 movie, 'Nanha Shikari'.
The singer's last appearance on the screen was with Salman Khan on reality show Bigg Boss 15.
