Musician AR Rahman admitted to hospital after “dehydration, neck pain”



CHENNAI: Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman was hospitalised in Chennai after a bout of dehydration and neck pain following travel according to his team.

All tests taken by doctors showed Rehman, 58, to be normal, and he is likely to be discharged today itself, they said.

The music maestro’s team also refuted “fake” reports, which claimed he had been admitted to hospital following “chest pain”. “It’s fake news (on heart issues) spreading now. Rahman went to hospital because he got dehydrated and has neck pain due to travel,” said Rahman’s team.

Rahman is currently busy with his music projects and several gigs. The singer had joined Ed Sheran during his Mathematics Tour concert performance in Chennai last month.

Several visuals from the gig that had surfaced online showed Rahman joining Sheeran on stage.

The duo not only interacted with fans but also belted out a remix of Ed’s Shape of You and Rahman’s Urvasi.

AR Rahman is set to compose music for the Dhanush and Kriti Sanon starrer ‘Tere Ishk Mein’, which is a spiritual sequel to the blockbuster film Raanjhanna. It is directed by Anand L Rai.
