Indian singer Jagjit Singh has died at the age of 70, according to the AP. The prolific vocalist, who specialized in the musical form known as “ghazel,” was initially admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Sept. 23 after he suffered a brain hemorrhage. Singh released dozens of albums during his career. In a condolence message, India’s minister for information and broadcasting Ambika Soni said Singh’s death left a void that would be difficult to fill.

@woot tay obviously you dont know Jagjit Singh so why bother reading news about him and then post some rude, insensitive and nonsense comment on his DEATH!!..
Hey sh*t man I know who he is and miss him he always had the best sketches!
My best friend has just announced her wedding with a great man who is a cele+brity!

It is nice club for rich men or pretty girls mate.
You do not need to be wealthy or famous, but you can meet your true love, it’s worthy a try.
Don’t mind Woo Tay. He writes this stupid comment on every post about someone dying… including Steve Jobs and probably even Al Davis. I guess he thinks it’s a joke… but no one laughs at it and usually people just ignore it.
