AP Dhillon pays tribute to Moosewala

Sidhu was shot dead in May 2022 and his murder case remains unsolved till date.
AP Dhillon criticised
The video of AP Dhillon breaking his guitar did not go down well with a section of social media users. While some of his fans were all praises for the singer, others slammed him.
A user commented, "Respect the things which brought you to this stage, It’s completely your and your loss." Another user asked, "And you think doing this looked good?🥲🤷♂️"
Some of them also compared AP Dhillon with actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh. "That is what makes Diljit different from others," the comment read.
Another angry user commented, "Pop Artists break guitars to look cool. They try to imitate Rock/Metal Artists not realising that they break their guitars out of the adrenaline rush and intensity of playing the instrument. It always hurts to see the poor instrument face the wrath of these wannabes. In India, we pray to the instrument. Pooja karte hain. Saraswati Maa basti hain usme. This is pathetic. Do better AP."
Coachella 2024 started on April 13 in Indio, California. Singers Lil Uzi Vert, Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Ray, Sid Sriram and ATEEZ among others performed on the first day of the event.
