In our book, few have countered rumours of their own demise as classily as musician Remo Fernandes. Yesterday, when noted music journalist Narendra Kusnur was asked by a credible mainstream newspaper, if the news that the singer had departed to join the great orchestra in the sky was true, Kusnur says he was pretty sure it was a canard. "I am connected to most musicians on Facebook and someone or the other would have mentioned it, and since none did I was pretty sure it was untrue," he said when we spoke yesterday.


However, to leave no room for doubt, Kusnur says he messaged the man himself. Obviously he wasn't the only one to do so, because a few hours later, Fernandes, who currently is in Portugal, responded with a droll public rejoinder which he posted online, putting matters to rest: 'Remo Fernandes RIP ( Rocking In Porto)' the headline read, cheekily accompanied by a suitably macabre image of the pop singer, who only last year had been booked by the Goa police for allegedly verbally abusing a minor.


'I have been offering myself condolences ever since I was first informed of my sad demise last evening,' it began. '… Thanks very much for all your concern, for messages asking me straightaway, 'Are you alive?' (I loved those, someday I'll answer 'no'). To people who never message me otherwise, tentatively asking, 'hey buddy how are you…'' The witty comeback demonstrating clearly how he saw the (black) humour in all of this, 'hey like the man said, no one gets out of here alive,' he ended it jauntily.
