Adnan Rushdi suffers heart attack day after wife’s death from dengue
Drummer and music producer Adnan Rushdi has been hospitalised after suffering a heart attack, a day after his wife, Shirin Sultana, died on Saturday from dengue. Reportedly, he is currently receiving treatment at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of Bangladesh Medical University.
Rushdi and Shirin have a young son. Rushdi has been playing drums with Bangla Five for many years. He has played drums with several well-known Bangladeshi bands, including Chirkutt.
Chirkutt expressed deep sorrow over the situation in a Facebook post.
“Rushdi bhai played drums in our band for some time and was our fellow traveller around 2005–06. He never stopped being a well-wisher of ours,” the band said.
“Yesterday, bhai’s wife suddenly passed away prematurely after being infected with dengue. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Today, Rushdi bhai suffered a heart attack and was admitted to hospital. They have a young son. We are deeply saddened and at a loss for words over the entire situation,” Chirkutt added.
The band also prayed for strength for Rushdi’s family during the difficult time and wished him a speedy recovery.
