Video of late singer Zubeen Garg's last scuba diving adventure circulates on the web following his demise
Zubeen Garg, a beloved figure in Assam's music industry and beyond, has tragically passed away at the age of 52. The news of his untimely demise has sent shockwaves across the nation, leaving a void that seems impossible to fill.
Garg, fondly known as one of Assam's favorite sons, was more than just an entertainer. He was a presence at festivals, protests, film sets, and charity shows, his voice carrying not only the romance of popular music but also the urgency of a region that wanted to be heard.
The cause of Garg's death was a scuba diving accident that occurred in Singapore. A viral video shows his last moments before the accident, featuring him adjusting his life jacket before entering the water. The video, hard to watch, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
Garg's music reached audiences beyond the Brahmaputra valley with his track "Ya Ali" from the 2006 film Gangster. Nationally, he is remembered for this hit song, but in Assam, he was so much more. He filled stadiums with song throughout his career, his range in music spanning from folk to rock to playback.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and musician Vishal Dadlani are among those who have paid tribute to Garg. However, the search results do not contain information about the tribute messages to Garg's death or who wrote them.
The North East Festival, scheduled for this weekend, was to have been Garg's next stage, but it is now a place of mourning. His absence feels personal to Assam, a silence in the room that can only be filled by the hundreds of songs he leaves behind.
For Zubeen Garg, who lived through his voice, immortality through his music may be the most significant. His music will continue to play, filling the void he has left, a testament to a life lived passionately and a legacy that will endure.
Rest in peace, Zubeen Garg. Your voice will never be forgotten.
