Shaan Remembers KK On His First Death Anniversary

New Delhi: Singer KK, also known as Krishnakumar Kunnath, died of a heart attack after his live performance in Kolkata on May 31, 2022. His contribution to Bollywood music is phenomenal. In a career spanning two decades, he was popularly known and delivered several memorable hits. Today, on KK’s first death anniversary, his close friend and singer Shaan remembered him, and recalled how shocked he was when he heard the news about his demise last year.

 In an interview with a daily, the popular playback singer recalled how they were getting ready for their grand US tour when the incident happened and left him with a huge void in life.

“When I sing our duets on stage now, I get very emotional. We had so many superhit songs like It’s The Time to Disco, Koi Kahe, Dus Bahane, O Humdum. I had never imagined that I would one day sing Yaaron Dosti as a tribute to KK,” Shaan told ETimes. The singer added that he knows all of us are supposed to move and it’s already been a year but it’s easier said than done.

Shaan said KK’s songs mean so much more now that he’s gone. “I always feel the soulfulness and connection in his renditions… even more now when he is not with us. I feel he’s telling us that he is here with us and in our hearts forever,” he said.

He debuted with the album Pal in 1999. Since then, KK has gone from strength to strength, making his mark in Bollywood with hit songs. Here is a look at some KK songs that will help you revisit the romantic voice of KK.

 

Shaan and KK sang more than 25 songs together, including Dus Bahaane, Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe, It’s The Time To Disco, and many others.
