KK, one of the most iconic artists in the music industry, passed away last evening due to cardiac arrest, leaving his fans across the entire world in grief and shock.
There are very few voices behind some songs that strike a chord with the audience, leaving them asking for more. There are only a handful of singers who can make each listener feel the song from the bottom of their hearts. There are a small number of people who make a cosy home in our hearts in a jiffy with their melodious voices, and, one such singer is KK.
As years passed by, the singer kept giving us back-to-back chartbusters on love and friendship. And, with each new song, we fell for his voice a little more. Even though there are numerous talented singers on the block today, but his contribution to our music industry is invaluable.
Today, we have compiled some of his perfect melodies that capture love in all its beautiful forms. Hold tight and keep scrolling down!
