Docs, staff at hosp treasure SPB’s handwritten notes thanking them
The Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan, were but two of the numerous awards that came to the effortless singer who found life’s rhythm in humility. He wasn’t just a singer; he composed music for more than 45 films in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Hindi; he acted in more than 40 Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies.
SPB spent 51 days in hospital, battling Covid-19 with the same grace with which he did everything. Doctors and staff at the hospital treasure his handwritten notes thanking them for looking after him. He was put on life support for severe pneumonia on August 14. He tested negative for the viral infection on September 4, but by then his lungs were affected, doctors said. On Thursday, the singer suffered a serious setback, and by Friday, the doctors could do no more.
As word of his demise spread, people from all walks of life started queuing up at his residence at Kamdhar Nagar in the heart of the city to pay their respects. Many sang his songs – some smiling, some sobbing.
