KK fans in West Bengal unveiled a statue of the late singer at the Gurudas Mahavidyalaya in Kolkata. This comes as a tribute to honour the late artist on his death anniversary, one year after his untimely demise in 2022. Incidentally, Gurudas Mahavidyalaya is the same college where KK was performing, when he breathed his last. The Yaaron singer's idol was decked with garlands and flowers.
The Yaad Aayenge Ye Pal singer's statue was given a musical touch as well and people thronged to the college campus to pay their respects. The local councillor Amal Chakraborty said to ANI, "KK was a magical man with his magical voice." He further said that it was sad that KK's last concert was at the Gurudas College. KK died on the night on May 31 in Kolkata, while performing at the college fest of Gurudas Mahavidyalaya. He felt unwell during his gig and was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital, CMRI, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Reportedly, he died of a cardiac arrest.
