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.
