Music maestro Ustad Rashid Khan, who has been undergoing treatment at a Kolkata-based hospital for prostate cancer, died at a city hospital this afternoon, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said. He was 55.

“We tried our best but failed. He passed away at around 3:45 PM,” an official of the private hospital where Khan was admitted said.

The musician’s health condition deteriorated following a cerebral attack last month.

Khan, who belongs to the Rampur-Sahaswan Gharana, is the great-grandson of gharana founder Inayat Hussain Khan.
