After the news of legendary Nazrul-singer Firoza Begum’s tragic passing broke, musicians and singers quickly took to social media to mourn her and express condolences to her family. Below is a compilation of some of the Facebook reactions. Fahmida Nabi I feel like one without shadow, insubstantial. I am reminded of my father who, when he passed away, had still a lot to give us but couldn’t, because of time. The demise of Firoza Begum created a vacuum in the industry that cannot be filled up easily. I feel utterly saddened. She gave us a lot, I don’t know if we’ll be able to recognise her contribution to music properly. To honour an artist is to honour the nation. Maqsoodul Haque My deepest condolences to her illustrious sons and my dear buddies, Hamin Ahmed and Shafin Ahmed, for their great loss. May Allah grant her heaven which she so richly deserves. Ameen Bappa Mazumder RIP the great artist Firoza Begum. Waqeel Ahad We, the nation will miss the most prominent torchbearer of Nazrul’s legacy. Salute to Firoza Begum. May peace be upon her. Alif Alauddin The legend, Firoza Begum is no more. May her soul rest in peace. Ameen. Armeen Musa Rest in peace, Firoza Begum. Your contribution to Bangla music will be cherished.
