Legendary Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar passed away at a hospital in India’s western Mumbai city on Sunday (Feb 6, 2022) at the age of 92.
She died of multiple organ failure.
“It is with profound grief that we announce the sad demise of Lata Mangeshkar at 8:12 AM. She has died because of multi-organ failure after more than 28 days of hospitalisation post Covid-19,” said the doctor at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital where Mangeshkar was receiving the treatment.
The Bharat Ratna awardee was admitted to the hospital last month after being diagnosed with pneumonia and coronavirus.
Tributes have poured in from all sections of the society for the legendary singer. The Bharat Ratna recipient has sung over 30,000 songs in her more than seven decades of career.
“I am anguished beyond words. The kind and caring Lata Didi has left us. She leaves a void in our nation that cannot be filled. The coming generations will remember her as a stalwart of Indian culture, whose melodious voice had an unparalleled ability to mesmerise people” Indian PM Narendra Modi tweeted.
“India has lost our nightingale. Cinema and music will never be the same again. Lataji your immense body of work and your iconic voice will be unparalleled forever” wrote Mammootty, Indian actor, producer and distributor.
