Bappi Lahiri was being treated for multiple illnesses. He was unwell for quite some time and had been in and out of the hospital in the last year. The singer-composer was brought to the hospital after his health deteriorated on Tuesday night and doctors tried to revive him but they couldn't.
Bappi Lahiri is survived by two children - a son, Bappa Lahiri, and a daughter, Rema Lahiri. He will be cremated on Thursday, February 17, at Pawan Hans crematorium. The family had decided to delay the cremation as Bappi Lahiri's son, Bappa, was in America.
