"I got to know about his cancer around six months back through a common doctor friend. He had pancreatic cancer. I was also told how the cancer was taking him away. I had met him a few months back and he looked weak, had lost weight but still sang at the festival. He later also called me to thank me for always supporting him. After that, whenever I tried to reach out to him, he never called back. That's when I knew that he was in terrible pain and we were going to lose him."
