New Delhi: A video emerged hours after singer KK’s sudden death following a concert in Kolkata, showing him appearing unwell as he was carried out of the venue. He returned to his hotel, where his condition was said to have worsened. He had chest trouble and died on the way to the hospital, according to reports.
In another video, the singer was seen sweating profusely and taking a pause to wipe his face. “Bohot zyada garam hai (it’s very hot),” other speakers can be heard saying in the video. KK was seen gesturing to a man on stage and appeared to be discussing the air conditioning at one time.

The singer’s death has yet to be determined, but a post-mortem report is due soon. According to sources, a case of unnatural death has been filed with the police.
Many people on social media allege that the Nazrul Manch auditorium in South Kolkata was overcrowded, and that the heat was unbearable during the music. Despite the fact that the Nazrul Mancha had a capacity of roughly 2,400 people, many people reported that 7,000 people had entered the venue where KK was performing for a college festival.

After falling ill, the 53-year-old singer was transported to CMRI hospital. Doctors in the area pronounced him dead.
KK, or Krishnakumar Kunnath, was the director of some of Bollywood’s most popular films, including ‘Pal’ and ‘Yaaron.’ In the late 1990s, his songs almost achieved cult status among teenagers, and his voice was frequently heard at school and college farewells and teen cultural events.
“When an artist performs on stage, he or she exudes a certain energy. When I’m on stage, I forget about everything and just act, regardless of how I’m feeling “KK remarked on his own website, The Mesmerizer, in his memoir.
KK has recorded songs in a variety of languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Bengali.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences, saying that KK’s “music portrayed a wide variety of emotions and struck a connection with people of all age groups.”
As admirers paid their goodbyes to the artist who was the voice of their many emotions, tributes flooded in from all around the world.
