Singh was one of the most popular singers of the ghazal,
usually Urdu or Persian poetry set to music. He sang to packed audiences across
South Asia and released dozens of albums during his 40-year career. He also
sang ghazals for Hindi films.
India's Minister for Information and Broadcasting
Ambika Soni, in her condolence message said, his death Monday had left a void
that would be difficult to fill. Singh was admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati
Hospital on Sept. 23. A hospital spokesman said Singh suffered another
hemorrhage Monday morning and died.
