Fondly known as Bappi da, he was as much known for his hit disco numbers like Chalte Chalte, Disco Dancer, and Sharaabi.
His last song for a Bollywood film was titled ‘Bhankas’ which was a part of the soundtrack for the Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer ‘Baaghi 3’.
Last year, the musician was admitted to Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai after being diagnosed with Covid-19.
However, he made a quick recovery and was discharged soon.
“Despite utmost precautions, unfortunately, Mr Bappi Lahiri has tested positive for Covid 19. He is under very good and expert care at the Breach Candy Hospital. Bappi dada’s family requests all those who came in contact with him in the recent past to get themselves tested as a precautionary measure,” a spokesperson had said in a statement.
On hearing of the singer’s demise, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit tweeted, “Shocked to hear about the demise of rockstar #BappiLahiri ji. Can’t believe my next-door neighbour is no more. Your music will always remain in our hearts.”
