Playback
singer
KK's
untimely
demise
after
a
live
performance
at
a
college
fest
in
Kolkata,
left
the
nation
in
grief.
Later,
there
were
speculations
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media
that
the
singer
was
showing
signs
of
sickness
during
the
music
concert
and
had
even
complained
about
the
AC
being
off
at
the
auditorium.
Now,
the
event
company
who
managed
that
concert
has
cleared
all
the
air.
BlackEyed
Event
House
issued
a
statement
that
read,
"We
would
like
to
apologise
to
everyone
for
this
late
post
on
the
unfortunate
mishap
that
happened
after
our
show
with
KK
sir.
Since
then,
we
have
been
busy
with
the
formal
procedures.
We
would
like
to
state
aforehand
that
our
role
in
the
entire
event
was
that
of
artist
coordination.
We
have
had
a
very
special
bond
with
KK
sir
over
the
years
and
are
shocked
by
his
sudden
demise."

The
event
company
further
clarified
that
the
AC's
were
running
and
working
on
its
full
capacity.
The
statement
further
read,
"Nazrul
Mancha
has
a
specific
seating
capacity
of
people
but
few
more
number
of
people
forced
into
the
auditorium.
It's
very
obvious
that
the
auditorium
having
AC
installed
for
specific
capacity
of
people
cannot
work
properly
when
the
crowd
is
exceeding
the
capacity.
The
venue
was
chosen
by
the
college
authorities
and
we
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
choice
of
venue
or
the
management
of
the
venue
infrastructure."
Further,
the
event
company
admitted
that
there
was
forced
entry
into
the
auditorium.
The
bouncers
and
police
force
along
with
the
college
students
union
tried
their
best
to
actively
manage
the
crowd.
However,
the
crowd
was
beyond
their
expectations
and
they
pelted
stones
at
the
volunteers
to
get
entry.
The
statement
further
read
that
the
police
tried
their
best
to
manage
the
crowd
wisely.
Responding
to
a
question
whether
KK
was
forced
to
sing,
the
statement
clarified,
"He
was
not
forced
to
perform.
Also
there
was
no
communication
from
KK
Sir
or
his
band
members
that
they
wanted
to
stop
the
performance.
KK
sir
thoroughly
gave
his
best
till
the
end
and
we,
his
manager
and
everyone
associated
with
this
show
have
supported
him
in
all
ways
possible
in
our
capacity."
It
further
emphasised
that
KK
didn't
show
any
symptoms
of
sickness
and
performed
vigorously
till
the
end.
"We
have
seen
high
performing
artists
picking
up
towels
to
wipe
their
faces
in
the
past
too;
it
does
not
necessarily
indicate
that
the
artist
is
showing
symptoms
of
illness.
After
every
rigorous
show
we
see
the
artists
fatigued
and
escorted
out
as
soon
as
possible.
The
videos
that
are
being
circulated
on
social
media
that
KK
sir
was
being
rushed
out
because
of
chest
pain
is
absolutely
false
and
are
not
even
from
the
31st
May
show.
KK
Sir
went
back
to
the
hotel
and
has
taken
selfies
with
fans
there
too,
before
falling
sick.
His
manager
has
also
confirmed
the
same,"
the
statement
further
read.
The
company
further
added,
"It's
an
unfortunate
loss
for
all
of
us,
specially
for
'us' because
we
have
been
associated
with
KK
sir
for
a
good
number
of
years
and
had
developed
a
personal
bond
with
him.
While
we
are
mourning
the
loss
of
a
dear
one,
we
veould
like
to
request
you
to
understand
our
situation
and
introspect
if
at
all
we
deserve
the
hate
campaign
that
some
people
have
started
on
social
media.
If
you
find
solace
in
doing
this,
we
will
be
happy
to
bear
the
brunt
of
your
anger.
Artist
coordination
was
our
responsibility
and
we
have
done
the
best
possible."
Meanwhile,
the
preliminary
findings
of
the
autopsy
indicated
that
KK
passed
away
due
to
cardiac
arrest.
His
final
rites
took
place
on
Thursday
(June
4)
in
Mumbai.
