Remo Fernandes bids farewell to stage with final 'Humma Humma'
A famous singer from Goa named Remo Fernandes has said goodbye to performing on stage.
He is 73 years old and does not feel well enough to keep performing.
He had a stroke, a fall, and an operation that made it harder for him to play the guitar and flute.
He sang his most famous song, 'Humma Humma,' one last time in London.
The song was first heard in a 1995 movie called Bombay.
He sat on a chair while he sang, because he is not as strong as before.
Remo started loving music when he was just four years old, when he played the mouth organ.
He taught himself to play the guitar and even studied to become an architect.
For a while, he was the best-selling English rock musician in his country.
Remo Fernandes performed his iconic track 'Humma Humma' one final time at Cranford Community College Grounds in London as part of Goa Day.
The 73-year-old musician is leaving the stage due to health reasons — a stroke, a fall and surgery that diminished his guitar and flute playing ability.
During the farewell performance, he sang the classic 1995 track from Mani Ratnam's film Bombay while seated on a chair.
Born Luís Remo de Maria Bernardo Fernandes in Goa, he taught himself the guitar and studied architecture at Sir JJ School while performing with bands in Mumbai.
He released Pack That Smack (1986) and Bombay City and was once the country's highest-selling English rock musician.
