Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Singer Papon expressed his deep sense of loss as he penned a heartfelt tribute to the late singer Zubeen Garg and said “missing you so much my brother.”
Papon took to Instagram, where he shared an old picture with Zubeen and wrote: “Missing you so much my brother. Stay happy wherever you are.”
Writing in Assamese, Papon also appealed for clarity surrounding ongoing matters, requesting that
“the investigation conducted swiftly, and we will get answers to the questions we ask for soon.”
It was on September 19, when singer Zubeen Garg passed away following a scuba diving accident in Singapore. He was rescued from the sea by the Singapore police and rushed to a nearby hospital where he was admitted to the ICU. Despite intensive care, doctors could not save him.
Zubeen had travelled to Singapore for the fourth North East India festival at Suntec, scheduled for the 20 and 21 of September. Just a few hours before the tragedy, the singer had shared a warm invitation for fans on his social media account.
Zubeen Garg was a superstar singer in the North East of India. While he reigned as the voice of Assam, his Bollywood breakthrough came with the timeless hit ‘Ya Ali’ from the movie ‘Gangster’, released in 2006, which made him a household name across India.
For the uninitiated, Garg’s younger sister, Jongki Borthakur, who was also an actress and singer, tragically lost her life in a car accident in February 2002 in Assam’s Sonitpur district while she was on her way to a stage performance.
In her memory, Zubeen had released the heartfelt album Xixhu later that year. The singer was married to fashion designer and costume director Garima Saika Garg.
Papon has also sung in many languages apart from Assamese like Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and Marathi.
He is the lead vocalist and founder of the folk-fusion band Papon and The East India Company.
