Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh passes away Jagjit Singh
Noted Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh died on Monday morning in Lilavati Hospital. He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital on September 23 but could not recover. He passed away at the age of 70.

Jagjit Singh, best known for his silken voice, had suffered a brain haemorrhage on Sept 23 and he underwent an emergency neurosurgery. He’s also suffered from hypertension and had a history of heart ailment as well.

Jagjit singh was born on February 8, 1941. His association with music goes back to his childhood. He learnt music under Pandit Chaganlal Sharma for two years in Ganganagar, and later devoted six years to learning Khayal, Thumri and Dhrupad forms of Indian Classical Music from Ustad Jamaal Khan of the Sainia Gharana school.

Popularly known as 'Ghazal King', Jagjit Singh gained acclaim together with his wife, singer Chitra Singh. The couple was considered to be pioneers of modern Ghazal singing. His music became popular in mass media through films such as Prem Geet (1981), Arth and Saath Saath (1982), and TV serials Mirza Ghalib (1988) and Kahkashan (1991).

Jagjit Singh was awarded India's third highest civilian honour, the Padma Bhushan, in 2003.

He is survived by his wife Chitra Singh.
