Jasbir Singh Hayer, Musician<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One half of music duo the Kray Twins has died after being admitted in the hospital with Covid-19, his family have confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasbir Singh Hayer had spent four weeks in hospital “battling” the virus before he “passed away peacefully” on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with his brother Jat, the pair, from Coventry, were “towering figures in the worlds of British Asian Music, bhangra, desi, hip hop and R&B”, mentioned BBC presenter Bobby Friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family said the music had “inspired millions around the globe”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on social media, Mr Hayer’s family said: “Your talent was just something else, your brain wired like no other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You broke boundaries with your vision and are leaving a legacy that will be remembered as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You gave 100% to anything you put your mind to and would never give up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family has also asked Mr Hayer’s friends and colleagues to celebrate “his warm heart, generous spirit and humour which will be deeply missed”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tributes have been paid by fellow musicians and fans. Fans have sent out their condolences. Shadow international development secretary and Labour MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, Preet Gill, also paid her respects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
