Lucknow: Popular Hindi bhajan singer Vinod Agarwal, who was on life support for the last 24 hours, passed away on Tuesday due to multiple organ failure, hospital officials said. He was 63.

He was admitted in critical condition to Nayati hospital in Mathura after he complained of chest pain earlier on Sunday.

The singer was put on a ventilator after some of his vital organs stopped working, a doctor said.
