"He has a history of heart ailment for which he was on blood thinners and that might have triggered the haemorrhage," said a doctor from the hospital.
A representative of Fever Entertainment, which is organising the 'Fever unplugged concert', said, "Renowned singer, Shri Hariharan, very graciously agreed to be a part of the concert and performed along with Ustad Ghulam Ali. We wish Shri Jagjit Singh a speedy recovery and thank Shri Hariharan for his support."
