According to legendary playback singer Gurdas Maan, Sidhu Moose Wala’s parents used to ask him not to write songs on gun culture.

“When you become an idol for the youth, they start doing the same thing. His parents used to explain this to him. Her father told me that he used to ask her to write songs on other subjects. But Sidhu Moose Wala said that when he tried to write a song on his mother, no one listened. Whenever someone said something about him, he would write a song to take revenge. This was liked by his fans. His mind worked that way,” Gurdas Mann said in an exclusive interview with India Today.

Punjabi singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala shot dead on Sunday. Canadian gangster Goldie Brar has claimed responsibility for the murder. The death of the young artist has left his fans and the Punjabi music world in shock.

Speaking on the murder, Gurdas Maan said, “It is very sad. A legend has gone. I met their parents, it’s hard to see what condition they are in. We all have a sadness in our hearts. When something like this happens, other actors also start thinking how and where we will perform.
