Lahiri was admitted to Criticare Hospital in Mumbai’s Juhu area, media reported. Dr Deepak Namjoshi, the Physician, Cardiologist and Pulmonologist who was treating the musician, said, "Bappi Lahiri passed away a little before midnight. When the family got him to the hospital his blood pressure was low and the pulse could not be felt. We tried to revive him but it was too late."

Bappi Lahiri who popularised disco music in India in the 80s and 90s, had delivered popular songs in several films of the late 1970s-80s like 'Chalte Chalte', 'Disco Dancer', and 'Sharaabi'. His last Bollywood song titled Bhankas was for the 2020 film 'Baaghi 3'.

    Yeah right!, Every house played the films songs in the 80s. 'Yaad aaraa hein , Tera Pyaar' from the same movie was sung and recorded by Bappida as a demo song or Kishoreda to sing who was away in London. Kishore da who listened to the song later, said to retain it . Today that song is cult song.can be heard multiple times. RIP Bappi da!
