Forty-eight people lost their lives when Pakistan International Airlines flight PK-661 crashed on its way from Chitral to Islamabad. Among them was the singer, scholar, philanthropist and national icon Junaid Jamshed.

Jamshed was on the flight with his wife when the plane lost one of its turboprop engines and came crashing down.

Jamshed was born in Karachi on September 3, 1964, and wanted to be an air force pilot. However, his weak eyesight prevented this.

Not saddened by this setback, he continued working on his other interest, music, and soared to fame in the 1980s with Vital Signs, one of Pakistan's first pop bands, fondly called the Beatles of Pakistan.

Then, at the peak of a successful solo career in the 1990s, he gave up all his stardom and turned to God, focusing on religious music, or nasheeds.

Here's a video posted by Junoon's Salman Ahmed as a tribute to the iconic artist. The video dates back to 2011 when Junaid Jamshed and his wife, Ayesha met Salman in Karachi on his birthday. Salman's son, Imraan captured this rare and cherished jam session, which is now winning hearts over the internet.
