Veteran playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam is battling COVID-19 for a month now. According to the hospital treating him, he is in an “extremely critical” condition. A bulletin from MGM Healthcare in Chennai revealed that his condition has worsened, warranting maximal life support. Known fondly as SPB, the renowned singer was hospitalized with mild symptoms in early August. Back then, he had also shared a video on social media saying that he was “perfectly all right”.

On August 13, the singer was shifted to the ICU as his oxygen saturation level dropped. He has been on life support since then. He also went through plasma therapy and physiotherapy at a later stage when it seemed like his condition was improving.

SPB’s son, S P Charan, had been regularly sharing updates on him. Recently he had revealed that his father had begun oral intake of food.

Actor Salman Khan took to his Twitter to wish the singer a speedy recovery. His tweet read, “Bala Subramaniam sir. All the strength hope wishes from the bottom of my heart to a speedy recovery n thank u for every song u sang fr me n made special your dil dewana hero prem, Love u sir.””
