The soulful voice of KK singing 'Hum, rahen ya na rahen kal' made the audience crazy at Kolkata's Nazrul Mancha on Tuesday as the versatile singer delivered his last performance, hours before he died. His death was not only sudden but shocked people globally. Just 10 hours before his demise, the singer shared a series of pictures from his concert. In the pictures, KK was seen singing as the audience cheered for him. Sharing the pictures, KK said, “Pulsating gig tonight at Nazrul Mancha. Vivekananda College !! Love you all".

In videos doing rounds on social media, KK can be seen setting the stage on fire with his several hits, including ‘Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai’, ‘Pal’, Yaaron’. Krishnakumar Kunnath, best known by his stage name KK, passed away on May 31 as he collapsed at the hotel where he was staying, hours after his concert. When the news of his demise broke out people literally cried over their favourite singer's shocking death.

Glimpses from his last concert went viral as fans remembered him, their teenage idol, whose songs turned their school and college lives memorable, to say the least. Other hits including ‘Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai’ and ‘Tadap Tadap Ke’ has etched KK in our hearts. This is why 'Yaaron Dosti' still makes us nostalgic and yearn for our friends.

Hours after his shocking death, a video on social media showed him looking uncomfortable as the singer was rushed out of the concert venue. In another video, he was seen sweating profusely while taking a break to wipe his face. KK was also seen calling out someone on stage and seemed to be asking about the air-conditioning which was not working at that time.

Many on social media blamed the Nazrul Manch auditorium authority since it was overcrowded and the heat became unbearable while the concert was going on. The South Kolkata venue has a capacity of near about 2400, people claimed that many more people entered the venue where KK was performing for the Gurudas College fest.
