Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar passed away on Sunday at 92. The news of her demise was confirmed by her sister Usha Mangeshkar. Mangeshkar had been on the ventilator in a Mumbai hospital.

Lata Mangeshkar tested positive for coronavirus with mild symptoms and was admitted on 8 January to Breach Candy Hospital's intensive care unit (ICU), where she was being treated by Dr Pratit Samdani and his team of doctors.

On Saturday, barricades were put up outside the hospital's premises, security was tightened and media crews gathered for news of the woman known as India's Melody Queen.

Sports stars across the country, and from different spheres, paid their tribute to the singer who was affectionately called 'Lata didi.'

Deeply saddened to hear about the demise of Lata ji. Her melodious songs touched millions of people around the world. Thank you for all the music and the memories. My deepest condolences to the family & the loved ones. 🙏
