“Friends in Singapore, I would like to invite you to the 4th North East India Festival in Suntec… I will be there throughout the festival as Cultural Brand Ambassador and will perform on the 20th evening with my popular Hindi, Bengali and Assamese songs. All come and support us.” he said, smiling at the camera.

That message, now going viral on social media, has turned into a poignant farewell. Fans have flooded the post with emotional comments, many writing that it is painful to see their beloved Zubeen speaking so joyfully, unaware that it would be his last public message.

In an earlier post, Zubeen had also paid tribute to his idol, Dr Bhupen Hazarika, ahead of the cultural legend’s centenary celebrations. “Assam is set to celebrate Dr Bhupen Hazarika's 100th birth anniversary with year-long tributes… This isn't just an event. It's a homecoming for every Assamese heart,” he had written, underlining his deep reverence for the “Voice of the Brahmaputra.”
