It seems so ominous. The news of KK’s death that too right after a live performance is terrible. He sang for films I was associated with, so his loss seems that much more personal.
RIP #KrishnakumarKunnath.

श्री कृष्णकुमार कुन्नथ (केके) ने अपनी बेहतरीन गायकी से लोगों के दिलों में अपनी अलग जगह बनाई है। यूँ अचानक उनके देहावसान की खबर स्तब्ध कर देने वाली है।
अत्यंत दुःखद…
केके एक प्रतिभाशाली व प्रभावशाली गायक थे, उनका जाना संगीत जगत की बहुत बड़ी क्षति है जिसकी भरपाई असंभव है।

Lost a dear friend. So many shows. So many memories. KK was a senior from college. A contemporary of Kabir Khan
from KMC. And someone so gracious, polite and smiling all the time.I still can’t believe this.
