The fact that artistes are postponing their events, song shows how everyone is feeling Sidhu’s loss: Bunty Bains

Five days after Sidhu Moosewala was murdered in Punjab’s Moosa village, Punjabi artistes on Thursday came together to urge other artistes who had collaborated with Sidhu recently, not to release his works online. Instead, the industry is asking Sidhu’s unfinished and unreleased works to be handed over to his father after the singer’s bhog (the last religious prayer for the departed soul), on June 8 at Mansa in Punjab.
Within hours of Sidhu’s death, sources say his songs were leaked online and some like The Last Ride and 295 were picked up and re-released by several channels.
With many of Sidhu’s songs in the pipeline, set for release in the next few months, the industry is also keen that the right to his last work should be given to his parents.
Music producer Bunty Bains says this is the only way the industry and those close to Sidhu can now serve him as friends. “The industry is emotional right now and we are all grieving over his death. The fact that artistes are postponing their events, and song and film releases just goes to show how everyone is feeling Sidhu’s loss personally,” he says.
Almost every artist shared the post, “hand over Sidhu’s unfinished work to his father” on their social media handles on Thursday and Friday.
The other post shared by several artistes is a request not to release the call recordings of conversations people had with Sidhu calling them, “these were private conversations he had with you and were not meant for the world.”
