Gurmeet Maan passes away

Gurmeet Maan, one of Punjab's most beloved folk singers has passed away, days after Rajvir Jawanda's untimely death. The industry seems to have lost its pulse twice in a row.

Gurmeet Maan was more than just a singer; he was renowned for his earthy charm and deeply rooted songs. His voice embodied Punjab's spirit.

He sang about the land, the people, and their stories—the kind that transport you back to simpler times—and was a native of Ropar who worked as a Punjab Police officer. There was something authentic and vintage about his voice.

“A true son of Punjab”

Over the years, Gurmeet Maan had built a legacy of heartfelt music. His duets with Preet Payal were pure gold for folk lovers — songs that played at weddings, melas, and every home that still holds onto Punjab’s traditions.

When the news of his passing broke, social media was flooded with tributes. Fans called him “a true son of Punjab,” someone whose voice “felt like home.” It’s heartbreaking for many who grew up listening to his tracks during harvest festivals or family gatherings.

The timing makes it harder. Just days ago, the industry lost Rajvir Jawanda, who died in a tragic motorcycle accident on September 27 near Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. It’s like Punjab’s music scene hasn’t had a moment to breathe between losses.

His music will live on

Gurmeet Maan’s death isn’t just the loss of a singer; it’s the loss of a storyteller. His songs celebrated everything from love and heartbreak to pride and simplicity. Even though he’s gone, his melodies will keep echoing in fields, fairs, and homes — just like before.
