Singapore honoured legendary Assamese singer Zubeen Garg by renaming the island where he tragically died as “Zubeen Garg Island” on Google Maps. Garg, aged 52, passed away during a scuba diving accident while on a yacht outing in Singapore. This tribute reflects his significant impact on music, both in Assam and Bollywood, with iconic songs such as “Ya Ali” from Gangster. The renaming not only commemorates his legacy but also underscores the global reach of his artistic contributions. Such gestures highlight the recognition of influential cultural figures beyond their home countries.
