The sudden death of singer Lanh Januja has brought the entire industry to mourn for a great loss. Labh had lent his voice for some popular hits like “London Thumakda” from Queen, “Jee Karda” in Singh is King and many more.
Amit Trivedi: “I am very sad and still in shock after hearing about his death. Labh was a dear friend… He sang some of my hit compositions like ‘London thumakda‘. He had a very earthy and real Punjabi flavour in his voice. One more major loss to the music industry this year.. God bless his soul.”
Shankar Mahadevan: “Shocking beyond belief!! I really loved his singing. In fact, he was in touch with me as we were planning to use his voice in one of the songs .. May his soul rest in peace .”
Lalit Pandit: “It’s very unfortunate. A budding carrier ends before seeing a complete bloom. Labh Janjua had a very impactful voice frequency and the style of singing had a lot of punch. He had already reached a stage in his career where the composers were designing songs to suit his style of singing, and that stage is very precious for an artist. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen!!”
Sajid-Wajid: “Labh Janjua was one of my favourite Punjabi singers. Very humorous guy and always joking. I remember when I was recording him for ‘Sonide nakhre sohne lagde‘, he was very new that time he got stuck in the ‘kendi pop’ of the jam lineâ¦and we all were laughing so much. Labh Janjua was simple man with a golden heart I’ll always remember that charming smile. May God bless his soul…RIP.”
Anu Malik: “Saddened!! Never met him personally. Heard his voice though in ‘London thumakda‘. Lovely voice. Great dexterity. May his soul rest in everlasting peace”
Baabul Supriyo: “Though we are still not aware what the reasons of his death could be, it is alarming to witness the recent surge of unnatural deaths of entertainers & celebrities. Areas of darknesses exist in a creative person’s corners of the mind. An artist often burns himself to create all that aura of limelight around him/her. I urge everyone to be vigilant of signs that friends may show and reach out to them before it’s too late.”
