Abdul Jabbar no more
Celebrated singer and music composer Abdul Jabbar died on August 30, 2017. He had been suffering from acute kidney and heart diseases, requiring prolonged, costly treatment. While his health was deteriorating, Abdul Jabbar, like many other renowned artistes before him, needed financial assistance for his treatment.
The government should form an exclusive fund to provide financial assistance to less fortunate artistes like Jabbar so that they can receive treatment without any delay or hassle.
I am an ardent admirer of Abdul Jabbar. His songs are indeed very melodious and inspiring. One feature of his singing that has always attracted me is his distinct pronunciation of words in the lyrics. I was really shocked and saddened to hear about his death. May his soul rest in peace.
