Kulwinder Dhillon dead at age 32
March 21st, 2006
Update: Check out Kulwinder Dhillon’s Music Video
I had to take a break from my daily postings about geeky/techie stuff to post this piece of news. I heard it on DesiRadio (broadcasting from UK) yesterday; and verified it with family in India. Kulwinder dhillon, a great punjabi singer, died in a car accident in Punjab, India. Some of his best known albums were ‘College’ and ‘Velli’. This is very sad news 
Update He was traveling in a Honda city that was being driven by his friend, Baljinder Billa. The driver lost control of the car; perhaps alcohol played a role. I was in Punjab in January 2005 (for my wedding); and the driving there is definetely not safe. The roads are so narrow and people typically do not follow rules, and there is no one around to enforce these rules.
It seems like his new album “Akhada”, was just released a few days before his tragic death. I have not heard it yet; but definetely plan on doing so.
As someone mentioned in the comments, this is a big blow to the punjabi music scene especially after Bindrakhia’s death. In fact, many people confused his voice with Bindrakhia’s since they both sounded very similar.

Kulwinder became a good friend of ours when he was in london last- he was a real cool guy, someone who was so down to earth, and very very helpful.
We all cannot come to terms with whats happened, whats really sad is that he was the only child of his parents, He has one son in his tender years. I hope his memory lives on and I hope his next release will acheive outstanding success.

I had only listed to his mainstream songs before; but since his death I have listened to 3 of his albums. I listened to each and every song carefull and realized what a great singer he was and what a big loss it is to the punjabi community.

OMG i cnt believe its nrly 2 yrs since we’ve th lost Dhillon sahib. i was in punjab at th tym, every1 was in total shock and ppl were crying (incl me). This was a pure tragedy and ppl worlwide truly miss him as he was a gd punjabi artist.
Our hearts go out 2 his family and friends. Th reali sad thing was that he was an onli child and he had 1 son.
