It was in May 2022 when we lost one of Bollywood's gems, KK, aka Krishnakumar Kunnath. The legendary singer transformed the way the industry looked at music with his melodious voice and soulful expressions.

Along with his fans, KK's family has still not come to terms with his untimely demise. We might relish his songs, but his family will always live with a void that no one can fill.

In a shocking turn of events, the Dil Ibadat singer took his last breath in Kolkata while performing at a concert for Gurudas College's fest. A video surfaced on the internet where KK was seen struggling for breath while profusely sweating. After which, he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, but he was declared dead.
