తెలుగు వారి ఆరాధ్య స్వరం మూగబోయింది. భారతీయ సంగీతం తన ముద్దు బిడ్డను కోల్పోయింది. ఐదు దశాబ్దాలకు పైగా,16 భాషల్లో 40 వేలకు పైగా పాటలకు జీవం పోసిన గాన గాంధర్వ , పద్మ భూషణ్ ఎస్పీ బాలసుబ్రహ్మణ్యం గారు ఇక లేరు అనే వార్త తీవ్రం గా కలచివేసింది. ఈ భువి లో సంగీతం ఉన్నంత కాలం మీరు అమరులే pic.twitter.com/HGbIfa0yyH

నా ప్రియమైన బాలు,
సంగీత ప్రపంచంలో నిశ్శబ్దం ఆవరించింది..!!
సరిగమలన్నీ కన్నీళ్లు పెడుతున్నాయి..!!
రాగాలన్నీ మూగబోయాయి..!!
నువ్వు లేని లోటు తీర్చలేనిది..!! pic.twitter.com/mKXeSejvgG
