Entertainment Live: Though it was expected that several functions would be held commemorating the fourth death anniversary of the country’s iconic rock superstar Ayub Bachhu, surprisingly no significant event was organized to mark the day across the country or in the music industry on Tuesday.

However, some fans, music lovers, and co-artists remembered the legendary iconic singer and guitarist on social media including Facebook, UNB reports.

Lyricist and composer Prince Mahmud said, “Losing you we understood what you were."

Popular Singer Kanak Champa wrote “I was not able to write mourning when I was about to write the word on the mourning notebook, pride came out instead of mourning for you. Not a single song fell on the soil but rather grabbed its place in the minds of people, which (you) magician of composer and guitar designed. There is no need to write the songs, sung by you, on the notebook which youths of the country can sing like timetables”.

“I don’t call him an artist, but rather a saint. No mourning comes from the heart of a saint, comes from pride. Ayub Bachhu is the greatest guitarist of the sub-continent, Bachhu is our pride, and we will surely feel pride, Rest in peace in the graveyard,” she observed.

Music artist Shawkat Ali Emon in his Facebook timeline wrote “Those whom we love very much they don’t go away, rather walk beside us, unseen and no tearing always stay closer, still love you, miss. May Alla grant you Jannah, You (Bachhu Bhai) was, is, and will be,”

Popular Singer Asif Akbar recalled the guitarist by saying “Bachhu Bhai played guitar for two hours at a function organized by me and tied me with the knot of gratefulness, once there was a good family bonding with him and he used to love very much my mother, and even he used to meet mother going Cumilla, though I didn’t know it.”
