On September 11, SPB’s son SP Charan took to Instagram to say the singer-actor’s recovery continues to be slow and steady.

The health condition of singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, who had tested positive for COVID-19 on August 05, remained critical, a bulletin released by MGM Healthcare on Monday (August 17) evening said. He continues to be on life support in ICU.

”His condition remains to be critical. The expert medical team treating him is closely monitoring his vital parameters,” the bulletin said.

Meanwhile, noted Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu sent out a video message, wishing the singer a speedy recovery. “You had sung my debut song. You should also sing my last one,” Vairamuthu said.

“In my 40-year career, I had seen a lot of musicians, directors and actors. But you are the one who remained always. You made people happy and I hope you don’t make them sad. Recover soon and rule the music world,” he said.

Earlier, actor Rajinikanth, in a Twitter video, said he was happy that the singer had crossed the danger zone. Rajinikanth added that he prayed to God for Balasubrahmanyam’s speedy recovery. “Balasubrahmanyam has been singing in different languages for over 50 years, bringing joy to crores of people,” Rajinikanth said in the video message.

Actor Kamal Haasan too took to Twitter to wish a speedy recovery for the ailing musician, saying “we are waiting for you”. “Dear elder brother. We are waiting for you. For long, you have been my voice and I have been your face,” he said in the tweet.

Balasubrahmanyam has sung for leading stars of Tamil cinema, such as yesteryear matinee idol, the late Ramachandran and top stars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, besides Mohan.

Admitted to city-based MGM Healthcare on August 5 after testing positive for coronavirus, Balasubrahmanyam was shifted to exclusive ICU ward on Sunday (August 16).
