Remo Fernandes leaves the stage larger than he found it · indianexpress.com

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.
