Breaking: SP Balasubrahmanyam awarded Padma Vibhushan

The loss of the legendary singer SP Balasubramanyam, who sadly passed away in 2020, due to Coronavirus, has left a deep void in music lovers, and his ardent fans. SP has lent his voice to thousands of songs, in various Indian languages. It would be an understatement to say that there isn’t another singer in the world who is as versatile and accomplished as he is.

The singer fought with the virus for several weeks before sadly passing away. He received the Tamil Nadu state rites, and was buried with much honor. And though SP is not with us anymore, he will forever remain in the hearts of every single music lover.

The list of Padma award winners has been released today, and SP Balasubramanyam has been awarded with the Padma Vibhushan Award from the state of Tamil Nadu. He had already received the Padma Bhushan and Padma Sri awards earlier. May the legendary actor rest in peace, wherever he is.

At the same time, veteran singer Chitra has been honoured with Padma Bhushan, from the state of Kerala.
