Dhaka, Mar 8 (V7N) — Rumors about the death of renowned Bangladeshi singer Haidar Hossain spread rapidly across social media on Saturday evening, causing concern among fans and followers. However, the claim has been confirmed as completely false.

Posts claiming that the veteran musician had died began circulating widely on Facebook groups and pages. Several fake photo cards, falsely using the names of established news outlets, were also shared online, further fueling confusion and anxiety among the public.

Prominent lyricist and music director Milton Khandaker dismissed the claim as baseless. Speaking to the media on Saturday night, he said the news was a fabricated rumor spread on social media by unidentified individuals.

Khandaker also confirmed that he had spoken with Hossain’s keyboard player earlier in the evening and was assured that the singer was in good health and at home.

As the false reports quickly spread online, many fans attempted to contact the artist through phone calls and messages to verify the news. Later, Hossain addressed the issue directly on his official Facebook page.

“I am alive and well by the infinite mercy of Almighty Allah. Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers,” he wrote in a post.

The singer also spoke with the media following the incident, saying he had been overwhelmed with calls since the rumor began circulating.

“I haven’t been able to put my phone down since the evening. Calls keep coming one after another. It has become quite a hassle. I am healthy and doing well,” he said.

Haidar Hossain is considered one of the notable figures in Bangladesh’s music industry. In addition to his work as a vocalist, he is also widely respected as a lyricist and composer. Among his popular songs are “30 Bochor Poreo Ami Swadhinotake Khujchi” and “Ami Faisa Gechi,” both of which remain highly appreciated by listeners even today.
