the age of 53. He was in the city for a two-day concert. The singer felt
ill during an event at Nazrul Mancha. "He was brought dead to the hospital
around 10 pm," said a CMRI hospital staff member.

 According
to sources, KK felt unwell during the concert. He complained of

"Tragic to hear about the passing away of KK after falling ill while

generation." Life is indeed, uncertain. "
