Bappi Lahiri, a music composer and vocalist who pioneered disco music in India during the 1980s and 1990s, passed away today in Mumbai’s CritiCare Hospital. He died aged 69.
Lahiri had been in the hospital for a month before being released on Monday. On Tuesday, however, his health started to deteriorate, and his family requested that a doctor come to their home. He was taken to a hospital. He was suffering from a variety of ailments. He passed shortly before midnight due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), said Dr Deepak Namjoshi, the hospital’s director.
Bappi da, as he was affectionately known, got B-town dancing to his hit disco tracks such as Chalte Chalte, Disco Dancer, and Sharaabi.
‘Bhankas,’ which was part of the music for the Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer ‘Baaghi 3,’ was his last track for a Bollywood movie.
