He concluded the note saying, “My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and all of his fans. The emptiness he’s left behind is immense. This wasn’t his time to go. He had so much more music to give us. We lost a legend, a cultural icon. The songs will remain, but the voice that created them, the heart that felt them… that’s gone. And that’s a wound that will take a very, very long time to heal. It was a sad, sad day for India. It was especially heartbreaking for Assam. We are all shattered.”
