Popular Rock band Parikrama which was formed by Subir Malik suffered a great loss on Friday evening when their lead guitarist Sonam Sherpa passed away due to a massive cardiac arrest at the age of 48.
According to reports, Sherpa was in Kurseong to record the music for an upcoming film when he suffered a massive cardiac arrest. The famous guitarist who has even composed music for Bollywood films in the past was born in Kalimpong, West Bengal. Not only that but Sherpa also ran a music school in Delhi.
Farhan Akhtar took to Instagram to mourn the loss by penning a heartfelt note. He wrote, "In 2008, post Rock On!!, I was part of a 4 city tour with the amazing #Parikrama and I can never forget or adequately say how thankful I am for the love and warmth that #SonamSherpa extended to this first timer on stage.. he was a gifted guitarist, a supremely cool guy and a true rock star. RIP brother. Deepest condolences to his family. On stage and off it."
