Remo Fernandes

In our book, few have countered rumours of their own demise as classily as musician Remo Fernandes. Yesterday, when noted music journalist Narendra Kusnur was asked by a credible mainstream newspaper, if the news that the singer had departed to join the great orchestra in the sky was true, Kusnur says he was pretty sure it was a canard. "I am connected to most musicians on Facebook and someone or the other would have mentioned it, and since none did I was pretty sure it was untrue," he said when we spoke yesterday.
