KK passed away from a heart attack on May 31 last year in Kolkata. So (May 31) marks the first death anniversary of the most popular singer of  India – Krishnakumar Kunnath aka ,KK.

Shaan comments on his friend KK:" I can't believe it's been a year since he died". They recorded together over 25 songs. Recalling those days, Shaan said, “We had some of our best times while recording songs together or while performing on stage. KK was very disciplined. He’d be on time and his preparation .......... We did some great duets together  like Dus Bahaane (Dus; 2005), Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe (Dil Chahta Hai; 2001) and It’s The Time To Disco (Kal Ho Naa Ho; 2003),  Jo Dar Gaya Woh Mar Gaya (Ghaath; 2000) and Dekho Nashe Mein (Race; 2008) are also memorable.”

It is hard to believe that KK is no more with us. Just hours before he died, KK was performing on stage one last time'. As  KK passed away on May 31 last year,  his fans and admirers  were totally devastated. " A great loss to the music world." The music lovers even don't know that they were watching KK's last live show.  The audience present at the Nazrul Mancha  in Kolkata were waving their mobile phones keeping flashlights on as KK  was delivering an electrifying performance of some of his super hit songs.

Shaan stated,"I never imagined I’d be singing Yaaron Dosti as a tribute to KK. KK forever..."

In a career of about  two decades, KK gave his voice to so many hit songs  in various languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Bengali. KK won the hearts of music lovers countless times by singing romantic as well as melancholic songs. He will remain in our hearts forever.
