Legendary Indian Singer Lata Mangeshkar Passes Away At 92
Indian Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar died at the age of 92 in Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Saturday. "I am anguished beyond words. The kind and caring Lata Didi has left us. She leaves a void in our nation that cannot be filled," Modi wrote on Twitter.
The singer died of multiple organ failure at Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai, her doctor Pratit Samdani told reporters. She was hospitalised on January 8 after contracting COVID-19.

Born in Maharashtra on September 28, 1929, Mangeshkar had a singing career that spanned more than 73 years and sang an estimated 15,000 songs (some say 30,000) in 36 languages.
She started her musical training early under her father Deenanath Mangeshkar, singing in his theatrical productions when she was five. Her father's death when she was only 13 forced her to support four younger siblings.
The family eventually moved to Mumbai, India's film industry capital, in 1945. There, Lata Mangeshkar pursued a career as a playback singer, and eventually became a mega star.
