Tributes have been pouring in from across India and other parts of the world as India has lost one of its most precious singers ever. We’re talking about Lata Mangeshkar aka ‘Nightingale of India’ who has finally been confirmed dead by her doctors in Mumbai after she battled illness over the last few weeks.
The legendary singer was admitted to hospital on 8 Jan 2022 after contracting Covid-19 but she managed to fight it off and was soon back home. However, the 92-year old was sick once again and was back in hospital on 5 Feb 2022, this time super critical and even being put on the ventilator. Covid-19 at that age and being put on the ventilator at that age are both very bad signs, and the worst was confirmed today.
Lata Mangeshkar passes away
It’s a big loss to the entire nation and not just the singing industry as she touched the loves of everyone involved. Tributes began coming in yesterday itself on social media as people were praying for her wellbeing. PM Narendra Modi also posted a photo of himself with our singing legend. She was diagnosed with pneumonia as well as Covid-19 when she was on the ventilator last month.
It was Dr Pratit Samdani who confirmed the news this morning, saying she passed away as of 8:12am. Actress Hema Malini also posted her condolences on social media saying that 6 Feb is a dark day for us all. “The legend who has given us a treasure trove of lilting songs, the Nightingale of India, Lataji, has left us to continue her divine music in,” she added.
