The
entire
country,
including
the
film
fraternity
is
mourning
the
loss
of
legendary
singer
SP
Balasubrahmanyam,
who
died
on
Friday
(September
25,
2020)
after
suffering
a
cardio-respiratory
arrest.
The
late
singer
was
admitted
to
Chennai's
MGM
Healthcare
on
August
5,
with
mild
symptoms
of
COVID-19,
after
which
his
health
condition
deteriorated.
Though
he
tried
to
bounce
back
after
a
few
days
and
was
tested
negative
on
September
4,
2020,
SPB
breathed
his
last
today,
leaving
millions
of
his
fans
and
followers
in
extreme
pain.
He
was
74.
As
the
singer
was
declared
negative
for
Coronavirus,
his
family
will
be
able
to
take
his
body
to
their
residence
in
Nungambakkam.
As
per
reports,
the
funeral
will
most
likely
take
place
on
Friday
evening
or
Saturday
morning
at
his
Red
Hills
farmhouse
in
Chennai.
Several
celebs
from
the
film
industry
like
Kamal
Haasan,
Bharathiraja,
Ilayaraja
will
be
paying
their
last
respects
to
him
during
the
funeral.
Innumerable
fans
of
SPB
are
also
hoping
to
see
him
for
the
last
time.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
a
confirmation
has
not
yet
come
about
the
same,
as
the
current
situation
is
different
due
to
the
ongoing
COVID-19
fear.
Coming
back
to
the
official
release
of
MGM
Healthcare
about
the
singer,
it
read,
"In
a
further
setback
this
morning,
despite
maximal
life
support
measures
and
the
best
efforts
of
the
clinical
team,
his
condition
deteriorated
further
and
he
suffered
a
cardio-respiratory
arrest.
With
profound
grief
we
regret
to
inform
that
he
has
passed
away
on
September
25
at
13.04
hours."
From
Rajinikanth
to
Kamal
Haasan,
several
celebs
across
the
country
have
expressed
condolences
to
the
family
of
the
legendary
singer
through
their
respective
social
media
handles.
SPB
is
survived
by
wife
Savithri,
and
children
SP
Charan
and
Pallavi.
