Bappi Lahiri, known as India's disco king, passed away on Tuesday night at the age of 69. He was admitted to Mumbai's Criticare Hospital and after almost a month, he was discharged on Monday. However, when his health deteriorated, he was taken to a hospital but he couldn't make it through. 

In a statement, the Lahiri family confirmed that the funeral will take place on February 17 once Bappi Da's son Bappa returns from the US. "It’s a deeply sad moment for us. Our beloved Bappi Da has left for heavenly abode last midnight. The cremation will take on the arrival of Bappa from LA tomorrow mid-morning. We are seeking love and blessings for his soul," the statement read.
