Nusrat Parsa

35-year old Nusrat Parsa died in Canada, a few hours after being involved in a fight which lead to a deadly fall down the stairs.

Parsa was approached by fans outside his hotel after the performance at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre and scuffles broke out, police said.
The singer is reported to have fallen downstairs after being punched.
He sustained head injuries and died in hospital a few hours later. A man has been arrested in connection with the incident late on Sunday.
...Mr Parsa's brother, Najib, told the BBC the attack followed trouble at the concert, when some in the audience called for faster, livelier songs.

A singer from childhood on, Parsa recorded a total of ten albums; he had studied music in India.

more on this...

"In recent years, every single concert that you go to, Afghan concerts, there's always a fight, and there's always a bunch of drunk guys trying to pick a fight," he says. Azim says several venues in Toronto now refuse to host Afghani musicians. Both men say there are many reasons for the problem – from ethnic tensions to culture shock and poor parenting.

Tamil events around here (toronto) also have a problem with idiots starting fights

I loved him,and when i heard this shocking news, i just couldnt believe it, no way! Even after one year and two months, i still am in shock and still think he is alive because i feel his presence every day near me. I loved him, I love him now, and I will continue loving him no matter what because he was what you would call love at first sight and true eternal love for me.
