    Asha Bhosle, Bollywood Legend and Music Icon, Dies at 92

    Digital Phablet – Celebrated Indian singer Asha Bhosle passes away at 92 in Mumbai.

    Asha Bhosle was renowned for her incredible versatility and energetic performances in a variety of Bollywood soundtracks, spanning genres such as pop, classical, and ghazals, which displayed her broad artistic range.

    Internationally acclaimed, Bhosle rose to fame after collaborating with British artist Boy George, though she had been a household name across India for generations.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his heartfelt condolences, stating, “Her remarkable musical journey over several decades has enriched our cultural legacy and resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.”

    During her illustrious career, Bhosle received two Grammy nominations and was awarded the Padma Vibhushan — India’s second-highest civilian honor — along with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award, recognizing her profound contributions to the arts.

    Throughout her career, her melodies—both soulful and lively—captivated audiences across the globe. Modi memorialized her legacy in a message on X, stating, “Her timeless voice brought brilliance to music, spanning eight decades.”

    She was the younger sister of Lata Mangeshkar, also a legendary singer. Earlier reports indicated that she was taken to a private hospital in Mumbai on Saturday evening suffering from a lung infection and exhaustion. Her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle confirmed her hospital visit due to her health issues.

    Globally, artists and fans paid tribute to her extraordinary talent. On social media, many highlighted her vast repertoire—more than 12,000 songs in over 20 languages across various genres—celebrating her as a truly versatile queen of singing.

    Shah Rukh Khan, a prominent figure in Indian cinema, remarked on X that her voice has been an integral part of Indian film history and will continue to resonate worldwide for generations. “Her talent that will outlive many,” he shared.

    Hema Malini, another iconic artist, expressed on X that “she gave her songs life and personality, and now she’s gone.” Her son, Anand Bhosle, announced that her funeral would be held in Mumbai on Monday, although Reuters has not independently verified all details at this stage.

    Tributes pour in from all corners of the arts community, acknowledging her mastery of multiple Indian languages including Marathi and Hindi, and her enduring influence as a singing legend.

  • How To Find And Evolve Greavard in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Through Completing and Solving

    How To Find And Evolve Greavard in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Through Completing and Solving

    Houndstone might seem like a spooky and powerful Pokémon, but finding it in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s DLC Mega Dimension can feel more like trying to find a ghost than catching a Pokémon. The game has few clues, with portals that rotate and an evolution that follows its own rules, making it easy to get lost.

    If you’re ready to skip the dimension-hopping and want to add this Ghost-type Pokémon to your team without the hassle, this guide will show you how to find and catch Greavard, and then evolve it into Houndstone without needing any special rituals.

    How to Find and Catch Greavard

    To get Houndstone, you first need Greavard, which appears in the Mega Dimension version of Hyperspace Lumiose — unlocked after finishing the main story. This area is a post-game zone, where different Wild Zones cycle through various Pokémon types, accessed via portals.

    Greavard only shows up in portals dedicated to Ghost-type Pokémon. When browsing portals, look for the Ghost symbol underneath the featured Pokémon images. Greavard’s icon appears as a gray dog silhouette with a candle-shaped head.

    Since the portals rotate based on the time of day, the Ghost zone might not always be available. If it isn’t visible, resting on a park bench to change the time can help. Keep reloading the portals by waiting or resetting until the Ghost-type portal appears, which may take a few tries.

    Once inside, you don’t need to brace for an aggressive battle. Though Pokémon in the Mega Dimension are generally stronger than usual, Greavard is quite calm in this zone. Its docile behavior makes it easier to set up a clean catch.

    Just keep in mind that Greavard’s stats are boosted, so it can take a few hits before it faints. Bring solid Poké Balls and a team that can chip away at its health safely.

    How to Evolve Greavard into Houndstone

    Evolving Greavard into Houndstone has two simple requirements:

    • Level Greavard to level 30.
    • Level up Greavard during the nighttime.

    Reaching level 30 isn’t enough; if Greavard levels up during the day, it won’t evolve. To ensure the evolution triggers, wait until nighttime before using EXP Candies or battling to level it up past 30.

    Once Greavard hits level 30 at night, it will automatically start evolving into Houndstone. No extra items or menu steps are necessary.

  • R&B Legend D’Angelo Dies at 51 After Private Cancer Battle

    R&B Legend D’Angelo Dies at 51 After Private Cancer Battle

    Digital Phablet – Grammy-winning R&B singer and musician D’Angelo passed away on Tuesday after a private battle with cancer, according to his family. He was a pioneer who helped shape the neo-soul genre. He was 51 years old.

    His family shared with multiple news outlets, “The brightest star in our family has dimmed in this life.” They added, “It is with heavy hearts we announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known worldwide as D’Angelo, has been called home after a courageous and lengthy fight with cancer.”

    “We are heartbroken that he leaves behind only cherished memories, but we are forever grateful for the profound music legacy he leaves behind,” the statement read. “Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. We invite everyone to join us in mourning his passing and honoring the gift of music he shared with the world.”

    His full name was Michael Eugene Archer, born in Richmond, Virginia. As the youngest of three sons raised by a Pentecostal preacher, he and his older brother Luther Archer always played music together. In 1994, they co-wrote and produced the track “U Will Know” for the R&B supergroup Black Men United, which also featured Brian McKnight, Usher, R. Kelly, Boyz II Men, and Raphael Saadiq.

    The following year, D’Angelo released Brown Sugar, his debut album that received widespread praise. His second album, Voodoo, released in 2000, is considered a genre-defining masterpiece of blending musical styles.

    Voodoo earned him the Grammy for Best R&B Album, and he also took home the award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the provocative hit “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” The music video, showcasing D’Angelo singing a slow jam, inadvertently turned him into an iconic sex symbol. Critic Robert Christgau once referred to him as “R&B Jesus,” even claiming he was a better singer than Marvin Gaye.

    His sound and soul left a lasting impact that continues to resonate. Spotify remarked, “D’Angelo’s music will echo forever, and his legacy will never fade,” sharing a tribute with a photo by Thierry LeGoues.

    In addition to his work, D’Angelo intentionally kept a low profile, which led to struggles with substance abuse and periods of rehab. Dominique Trenier, his former manager, revealed in 2008 that D’Angelo was uncomfortable with the fame aspect of his persona. Trenier noted, “I’m glad the video had the impact it did. But we were both disappointed because many still just remember the image from that one performance.”

    It wasn’t until 2014’s Black Messiah, a politically charged album that won the Grammy for Best R&B Album, that he released his next studio project after Voodoo.

    Rockstar Games paid homage, stating, “Rest In Peace D’Angelo, a true titan of soul. We are forever grateful for his track ‘Unshaken,’ which will remain an enduring part of the legacy of Red Dead Redemption 2.”

    His record label, RCA Records, expressed their sorrow, calling him a “visionary who effortlessly fused classic soul, funk, gospel, R&B, jazz, and hip hop.” As a member of the Soulquarians collective, D’Angelo collaborated with many notable artists including The Roots, Common, J Dilla, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Angie Stone, his former partner and mother of his son, Michael Archer Jr.—a hip-hop artist known as Swayvo Twain.

    Michael Archer Jr. shared with People magazine, “Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during these tough times. It’s been a difficult year. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate this. My parents taught me to stay strong, and I intend to.”

    He also has a daughter, Imani Archer, who is pursuing a career in singing, and another son, Morocco Archer.

    D’Angelo had recently canceled a headline performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia due to an unforeseen medical issue related to recent surgery. In an Instagram post, he explained, “It’s with deep regret I must cancel my appearance. My doctors advised that performing could complicate my recovery.”

    He closed by thanking fans for their support and expressed excitement for upcoming projects, saying, “In the studio and eager to share new music with you all soon! Love you and see you shortly!”
