The saga of Yo Yo Honey Singh’s dizzying rise and the sudden disappearance are the stuff that Brian da Palma’s films are made of. After an unstoppable binge of rock-star success for two years compounded by an insatiable demand for his songs in Bollywood, Yo Yo simply vanished in the middle of 2014. He had it all. And then suddenly he lost it.

So what happened? A source in the know says, “Yo Yo has been unwell. His blood pressure has been fluctuating dangerously and the doctors prescribed complete bed rest. Also, during his concert tours of the US for Happy New Year he fell off the stage and hit his head.” But that is not a serious enough ailment for the singer to completely go underground.

Continues the friend, “Yo Yo is making a comeback in January 2015. He is at the moment with his wife and extended family in Noida resting it out. His body had given up completely. But now he is almost fully recovered.”
