Bappi Lahiri News LIVE Updates: The singer-composer died due to obstructive sleep apnea shortly before midnight, says doctor
Singer-composer Bappi Lahiri, who popularised disco music in India in the 80s and 90s, has died following multiple health issues. 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 playback singer and music director had appeared in a TV commercial for a soft drink as the ‘golden man’ of India. In 2014, he joined BJP and even contested in the general election from Srerampur Lok Sabha constituency but lost.

Because we’re journalists, we’re impatient. We want to gather the news as quickly as possible, using any technological resource available. And when we’re as sure of the story as we can be, we want to share it immediately, in whatever way reaches the most people. The Internet didn’t plant these ideas in our heads. We’ve always been this way.
