After a long, struggling battle, legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam has breathed his last breath today as a result of lung failure. Big names like Kamal Haasan, director Bharathiraja, and Venkat Prabhu recently visited the hospital to visit the singer. SPB passed away at 1 PM today. Despite being tested negative for Coronavirus a week ago, the singer suffered from severe lung failure and was on maximum life support. Due to the age issue, a lung transplant was not feasible.

Various members of the Tamil film industry shared the shocking news:
