Arijit
Singh
is
all
set
to
make
history.
He’s
all
set
to
take
his
talent
on
an
international
stage
that
has
seen
the
likes
of
Beyonce
and
Kendrick
Lamar.
Yes,
the
38-year-old
superstar
singer
will
perform
at
Britain’s
Tottenham
Hotspur
stadium
on
September
5,
the
63,000-seat
venue
that
has
hosted
the
Grammy
Award
winners.
This
makes
him
the
first
Indian
musician
to
perform
in
a
UK
stadium.
Interestingly,
Arijit
has
not
featured
in
the
UK
Top
100
singles
or
albums
yet
but
his
popularity
among
the
Indian
Diaspora
remains
high.
The
singer
first
tasted
success
with
the
Tum
Hi
Ho
song
from
2013’s
Aashiqui
2.
Since
then,
he
has
produced
hits
like
Lutt
Putt
Gaya
(Dunki),
Galti
Se
Mistake
(Jagga
Jasoos),
Jhome
Jo
Pathaan
(Pathaan),
Agar
Tum
Saath
Ho
(Tamasha),
Kesariya
(Brahmastra:
Part
1)
and
many,
many
more.
Currently,
he
has
147
million
followers
on
Spotify,
more
than
Taylor
Swift
or
Ed
Sheeran.
