Veteran singer-composer Bappi Lahiri passed away on Wednesday at the age of 69 in Mumbai's CritiCare Hospital. On Thursday morning, Bappi Da's son Bappa, along with his wife Tanisha Verma, and son Krrish, arrived at the Mumbai airport to attend his father's last rites ceremony.

Bappi Lahiri's doctor Deepak Namjoshi confirmed the news of his demise. According to the doctor, the 'Disco Dancer' hitmaker died last night due to multiple health issues.

 

"He 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, following which he was brought to the hospital. He had multiple health issues. He died due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) last night," Dr Deepak Namjoshi said yesterday.

After hearing about Bappi Lahiri's demise, Bappa Lahiri left for Mumbai, for the ceremony. Bappi's son is a U.S-based singer who lives in LA.

Bappi Lahiri was hospitalised in April last year as well after he had tested positive for coronavirus.
