Bangladeshi renowned singer Hasan Abidur Reza Jewel passed away at a hospital in the capital on Tuesday.

Jewel breathed his last at about 11:53AM, family members confirmed.

Jewel’s health condition recently took a turn for the worse. He has been put on a ventilator in a private hospital in the capital city.

The singer has been battling cancer for 13 years now. Despite receiving treatment at various hospitals in Bangladesh and abroad, his condition has deteriorated.

Family sources disclosed that Jewel’s journey with cancer began in 2011 when he was diagnosed with liver cancer, which later metastasised to his lungs and bones.

Earlier, on July 25, Jewel’s wife, Sangeeta Ahmed, informed the media that due to the worsening in his health situation, Jewel was placed on life support on July 23. She requested prayers from friends, well-wishers, and fans for his recovery. Diagnosed with liver cancer in 2011, Jewel’s condition worsened as the cancer spread to his lungs and bones.

While Jewel is best known as a singer, his contributions also extend to producing television shows and documentaries and hosting various programmes. Jewel started his musical journey at a young age, learning to sing from a neighbour in first grade and performing on stage by the fourth grade.

Jewel’s first album, “Kuasha Prohor,” composed by Ayub Bachchu, released in 1993. The song was a testament to his unique voice and musical style, making an immediate impact on the audience.

His subsequent albums include “Ek Bikele” (1994), “Amar Ache Ondhokar” (1995), “Ekta Manush” (1996), “Dekha Hobe Na” (1997), “Beshi  Kichu Noy” (1998), “Bedona Shudhu Bedona” (1999), “Phirti Pothe” (2003), “Dorja Khola Bari” (2009), and “Emon Keno Holo” (2017).
