Indian singer-composer Bappi Lahiri left us at the age of 69 after being hospitalized for a month.
Apart from the hit songs, the singer is known for his obsession with gold but why did Bappi Lahiri wear so much gold?
Bappi Lahiri once shared that his obsession with gold was related to Hollywood icon Elvis Presley, who was known as the King of Rock and Roll.
The actor was known as the gold man! Once, while talking about the same, Bappi said,
“In Hollywood, famous singer Elvis Presley used to wear gold chains. I was a huge follower of Presley. I used to think, if I become successful someday, then I will build a different image of mine. By the grace of God, I could do it with gold. Earlier people used to think, it is just a way to show off. But it is not so. Gold is lucky for me.”

As per reports, In the early 2010s, he gave up all his gold to embrace the new age metal ‘Luminex Uno,’ which promises to be an alternative precious metal both for jewelers as well as for investors. “This new age metal Luminex Uno- made up of gold, platinum and silver are excellent. I am definitely endorsing this new age metal,” he had said.
