**Mumbai, India** – Eminent tabla player Ustad Zakir Hussain passed away on Monday at the age of 73 after a three-week illness. While initial reports suggested a heart-related issue, his family released a statement confirming that the cause of death was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

IPF is a chronic and progressive lung disease characterized by the scarring and thickening of lung tissue, hindering oxygen absorption. There is currently no cure for IPF, although treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The disease predominantly affects individuals over 50, often manifesting with a dry cough initially, progressing to shortness of breath during exertion and eventual fatigue.

Hussain’s death marks a significant loss for the world of Indian classical music. He was a highly respected and influential figure, known for his virtuosity and contributions to the art form. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of musicians.
