Organisers of the Singapore festival remained oblivious to Zubeen Garg's yacht voyage prior to his unfortunate demise.
In a shocking turn of events, Assamese singer Zubeen Garg passed away on Friday in Singapore. The news of his demise has left a void that will never be filled, and the music industry, as well as his numerous fans, are mourning his loss.
Zubeen Garg was scheduled to attend the North East India Festival, an event that was set to take place on September 20, 2025. However, the festival has been cancelled following his untimely death. The organisers shared the news of Zubeen Garg's death with 'profound grief' and are working closely with the High Commission to complete necessary procedures.
According to reports, Zubeen Garg died allegedly after suffering breathing issues during scuba diving. He was rushed to Singapore General Hospital, but unfortunately, he could not be saved. The call informing the organisers of the North East India Festival about Zubeen Garg's accident came from his manager.
It was reported that Zubeen Garg was in Singapore to attend the North East India Festival. However, a few members of the local Assamese community took him on a yacht visit, which the organisers were unaware of. The organisers were engaged in a business meeting with senior Singaporean industrialists and policymakers at the Shangri-La Hotel at the time of the accident.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has offered his condolences to Zubeen Garg's family and admirers. He wrote a post expressing shock and condolences on Zubeen Garg's death on his social media platform. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also expressed his grief over Zubeen Garg's death and described his impact on the state. He is in constant contact with India's High Commissioner to Singapore to ensure Zubeen Garg's mortal remains are brought home at the earliest.
There is no publicly available information confirming that Zubeen Garg was in Singapore before his death or about who accompanied or supported him there. The organisers of the North East India Festival were unaware of Zubeen Garg's yacht visit before the tragic accident.
The North East India Festival was a much-anticipated event, and Zubeen Garg's demise has cast a shadow over it. However, the organisers are hopeful that they will be able to honour his memory in some way during the event.
The music industry and fans alike are still coming to terms with Zubeen Garg's sudden demise. His music will continue to live on, and his legacy will remain an inspiration for future generations. Rest in peace, Zubeen Garg.
