Hazarika, who was on a ventilator for four months, had been in and out of hospital. He passed away Saturday at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.

Filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi, who collaborated with the musician on her films like "Ek Pal","Rudaali" and "Daman" was at the hospital when he died.

"The nation will mourn the death of Bhupen Hazarika," Lajmi told TV reporters.

The film industry remembered the singer and many paid condolences through Twitter.

AMY WINEHOUSE PASSED AWAY THIS SATURDAY

Departing this world much too prematurely, Amy Winehouse passed away at her London home - with her body being discovered on Saturday afternoon (July 23) at 4PM.

With no signs of foul play, the late 27-year-old Grammy winning artist will undergo an autopsy tomorrow (July 24), with speculation understandably pointing towards a drug/alcohol overdose as cause of death.

Since news of Miss Winehouse's passing broke, an outpouring of tributes and well-wishes from fellow celebrities have flooded Twitter.

Among those commenting on the loss of a true talent were Dionne Bromfield Performing "Mama Said" with Amy Winehouse, who wrote, “So sad about Amy Winehouse -she was so talented. Really tragic.” Fellow singer Rihanna tweeted, “Dear God have mercy!!! I am SICK about this right now! #DearAmy”

Others taking to Twitter on the somber occasion included Nicki Minaj, who posted, “Please tell me Amy Winehouse didn’t die. Is this some sick joke?,” as well as Demi Moore, who sent her blessings by writing, “Truly sad news about Amy Winehouse. My heart goes out to her family. May her troubled soul find peace.”

And while her time on Earth may have come to a seemingly premature end, Amy gifted each and every one of us with timeless songs, priceless performances and candid interviews to help keep her memory alive in our hearts and minds for years to come.
