Australian cricketer Brett Lee and Asha Bhosle had worked together for a song back in 2007. Former Australian cricketer Brett Lee penned a emotional note for Asha Bhosle after the legendary singer passed away in Mumbai on Sunday at the age of 92. Dr Prateet Samdani of Breach Candy Hospital confirmed that Bhosle had been dealing with multiple health issues and died due to organ failure. Bhosle is survived by her son, Anand, and her grandchildren.
It was 2006 when the worlds of cricket and music collided in the most unexpected way! Lee collaborated with Bhosle for a duet, “You're the One”. It wasn't just a song; it was a moment as the partnership took the audience, especially in India, by storm. Bhosle's unexpected yet memorable collaboration with Lee will also always stand out and be fondly recalled.
Recalling their collaboration on Monday, Lee took to Instagram and called himself fortunate to have spent a small moment with Bhosle. “I had the pleasure of writing and recording You’re the One for Me with Asha Bhosle back in 2006. It’s something I’ll always be incredibly grateful for,” he wrote.
“What stayed with me most wasn’t just her extraordinary talent, but how kind and humble she was. For someone who had achieved so much in her life, she carried herself with such warmth and generosity,” added Lee.
“My thoughts are with her family and friends at this time. I feel very fortunate to have shared even a small moment with someone so special. There’s no doubt her legacy will live on for generations to come,” Lee said.
