KK’s 1st death anniversary: Singer’s statue installed where he performed his last gig

In a fitting tribute to singer KK on his first death anniversary on May 31, a statue was installed at Gurudas Mahavidyalaya in Kolkata. It’s the same college where the ‘Yaad Aayenge Ye Pal’ hit-maker performed his last gig before he left for his heavenly abode. Some flowers were placed by students and staff on KK's statue to pay tribute to the iconic artiste. The college administration also gave a musical touch to the installation ceremony.

Late singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, lovingly called KK, breathed his last on May 31 night. The 53-year-old singer passed away after feeling unwell during the performance, he was taken to the hospital where he was declared brought dead. The cause of death was reportedly a cardiac arrest.

Local councilor Amal Chakraborty said, “KK was a magical man with his magical voice. This is very sad that Gurudas College event was his last concert.”
