In a heartwarming moment that has sent shockwaves of admiration on social media, international music sensation Post Malone paid tribute to the late Assamese icon Zubeen Garg during his concert in Guwahati, Assam, on December 8. The poignant gesture, which left the audience cheering, was a rare display of respect from an international artist. While interacting with the crowd, Malone acknowledged Zubeen's legacy, saying, "I'm in the home of the great legendary Zubeen tonight. I hope everyone's having an amazing day and an amazing night." The audience erupted in appreciation, and fans took to social media to share clips of the emotional moment. The tribute was met with gratitude from Zubeen's fans, who appreciated Malone's gesture of acknowledging the singer's significance in the region. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier welcomed Post Malone to the city, expressing hopes that the concert would showcase Assam's hospitality. However, the tribute took place amidst an ongoing death investigation into Zubeen's passing. The singer died on September 19, 2025, while swimming in sea waters off Singapore during a trip tied to the North East India Festival. Initial reports listed "drowning" as the cause of death, but the Assam Police have launched a full-scale probe, suspecting foul play. The investigation has led to multiple arrests, including the festival organiser, the manager, and several team members. Financial irregularities have also come under scrutiny. The Assam government has publicly stated that the death is not an accident but a case of murder. The Special Investigation Team is expected to file a chargesheet by December 12, 2025, bringing the investigation to a close.
