RIP! Pakistani singer Farhad Humayun passes away; Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar mourn death

The sudden demise of Pakistani musician Farhad Humayun has shocked us.

MUMBAI: The sudden demise of Pakistani musician Farhad Humayun has shocked us. He was only 42. The news was announced on the Facebook page of his band Overload.

"The magnificent Farhad Humayun left us for the stars this morning. Stoic in the face of challenges, uncompromising in his values, generous to a fault, witty as hell! Fadi was far too ahead of his time, both in spirit and art," the post read.

After hearing about Farhad's demise, singer Atif Aslam took to Twitter to pay his condolences.

"Thank you, Fadi, for giving us great music, good times & for playing on my 1st album. Buddy, I was thrilled abt our collab - I have finished the lyrics as well but I didn't know we won't be able to make it happen," he wrote.

"Your legacy - fire, passion and insane courage - will live on forever," he grieved.

Actor-singer Ali Zafar described Farhad as a fighter.

"Good bye old friend. You were an inspiration for so many. Your contribution to music and in people's lives cannot be defined in a few lines. You were more than a musician and a performer...you were a fighter... destined for greatness and great you were. R.I.P #farhadhumayun," Ali Zafar wrote.

Members from the Indian entertainment industry also have also taken to social media to pay their respects to the late singer.

Made in Heaven star Arjun Mathur is completely heartbroken. He revealed that he and Farhad were childhood friends.

Recalling his memories with Farhad, Arjun took to Instagram and wrote a lengthy post.

"What does one say about a comet? Or a shooting star? My first memories of Farhad Humayun, or 'Fadi', as I knew him, are from when I was just a toddler and my parents' best-friends -Shahzad Uncle and Nivi Aunty - visited from Pakistan. We would wait for the parents to leave for their parties so we could hit 'Excite-Bike' on the 8-bit NES, or watch our favourite movies from the time.. `Jaanbaaz' and 'Veerana', no less. As a kid, when our family visited them in Lahore, I remember the largest Aloo-Parathas I had ever seen, at their home.. and the best post-swim chicken sandwiches at Lahore Gymkhana," he shared.

According to the actor, Farhad was battling "cancerous brain-tumour."

"3 short years ago and completely out of the blue, Fadi - one of the fittest, best-looking, healthiest people I knew - got diagnosed with a cancerous brain-tumour. After two brain-surgeries over two years and no real sign of getting any better, Fadi finally surrendered and decided to end the treatments and medication. Today, the world has lost him. And it will never be the same again. In my last real exchange with him, he sent me a new song that he made after two brain surgeries.... I love you and always will, and you will inspire me and my art forever, just as you always have. Safe travels, my brother and oldest friend," he concluded.
