“I'll sing your song tonight, and will be thinking of you my brother. Miss You. Love you my bro !! Mera yaar. Immortal KK”, he added. All three of them brought a fresh texture to Hindi film songs of the 1990s, and offered a new sound, which was different from the likes of Udit Narayan or Kumar Sanu, the reigning kings of the 1990s Hindi music. Krishnakumar Kunnath Bollywood Debut Anniversary: Do You Know KK’s Final Song at His Last Concert in Kolkata Before His Tragic Death?.

While KK and Shaan had successful careers in mainstream Hindi film music, Palash Sen made it big in the indie pop space. KK passed away on May 31, 2022 after he performed a concert at a college festival at Nazrul Mancha in South Kolkata. After the concert, he returned to his hotel in Esplanade. He complained of feeling unwell on the way back to his hotel, where he experienced cardiac arrest. He collapsed, and efforts to revive him at the hotel were unsuccessful. KK was rushed to Calcutta Medical Research Institute (CMRI) where he was declared dead. He was 53 years old. The upcoming film ‘Metro In Dino’ is pinching the fans of the late singer as the ‘Metro’ franchise is known for KK’s voice.
