The 80-year-old veteran singer died at around 12 pm due to age-related issues, told Sanjay Malik, who has been Narendra Chanchal’s concert organiser for the last 25 years.

“His health hadn’t been well for some time now. He had been admitted to the Apollo Hospital for two months. He had fallen quite weak. He breathed his last today,” Malik said.

Chanchal was widely known for his religious songs and bhajans. Apart from performing at live events for a large part of his career, Chanchal’s songs like “Chalo Bulava Aaya Hai” from Avtaar and “Beshak Mandir Masjid Todo” from Bobby became immensely popular. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Singer for Bobby.
