Dubai: Popular singer Nisar Wayanad has passed away in Dubai at the age of 43. The singer breathed his last while undergoing treatment at a hospital in the Manqool area of Dubai. A native of Kambalakkad in Wayanad, Nisar was widely known for his performances of Mappilappattu and had earned a strong following among music lovers through stage programmes.

Nisar had travelled to Dubai last month in connection with music programmes. According to the available information, he sought medical treatment after developing a fever. His condition later turned serious, leading to his unexpected death. His demise has come as a shock to the music community and those who had been associated with his performances in the Gulf region.

Nisar was scheduled to participate in several upcoming musical programmes in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. His sudden passing, shortly before these engagements, has left fellow performers, organisers and fans deeply saddened.

One of the factors that made Nisar particularly popular on musical stages was the striking similarity between his voice and that of renowned Bollywood playback singer Udit Narayan. This resemblance helped him attract attention during live music programmes, while his performances of Mappilappattu further strengthened his reputation among audiences.Nisar Wayanad was the son of Ibrahim and Zainaba of Eroth House in Kambalakkad, Wayanad. Apart from Mappilappattu and stage performances, he had also lent his voice to songs in Malayalam and Kannada films.

He is survived by his wife, Shahana Nisar. News of his death has prompted an outpouring of grief among friends, colleagues, music enthusiasts and the expatriate community in Dubai. His contributions to Mappilappattu and his memorable stage performances are expected to remain part of the memories of those who followed his musical journey.
