Sidhu Moosewala to perform again as hologram in global tour set to launch in 2026
The family of slain Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala has announced a world tour for the singer. The singer's family shared the news on Moosewala's official social media pages on Monday (July 14, 2025) by posting a video which announced the 'Signed to God World Tour'. It is being organised by Platinum Events. The tour will kick off in 2026 with shows lined up in Punjab as well as global cities like Toronto, London and Los Angeles. It will be a first-of-its kind hologram event that will help fans virtually meet the late musician. In a statement, posted on the official website for 'Signed to God World Tour', the organisers said the tour is a "celebration of a soul who broke boundaries in life and continues to inspire beyond it". "Sidhu Moosewala wasn't just an artist — he was a movement. This first-ever hologram tour is a groundbreaking tribute that blends technology and emotion. Fans across the world will once again feel his energy, voice, and presence — not as a memory, but as reality. "Every show features 3D holographic projections synced with his original vocals, cinematic visuals, and stage effects — creating a concert that's unforgettable, immersive, and deeply emotional," it added. Sidhu Moosewala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29, 2022. Moosewala was killed when he, along with his friend and cousin, was travelling in a jeep to Jawahar Ke village in Mansa. The singer-rapper enjoyed a cult following in India and abroad with songs like 'So High', 'Same Beef', 'The Last Ride', 'Just Listen' and '295'. Since his demise, his family has been releasing his songs, which have garnered millions of views on YouTube.

Ahmedabad man dies in paragliding accident in Dharamshala, viral video sparks outrage: ‘no accountability'
A 25-year-old tourist from Gujarat's Ahmedabad lost his life in a paragliding accident near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh Sunday evening. According to reports, the incident occurred during the take-off at Bangotu, which is located above the Indrunag paragliding zone. The deceased was identified as Satish. The accident took place around 4 pm while he was vacationing with his cousin. Satish and the pilot sustained serious injuries in the crash, which occurred shortly after take-off. While the pilot survived, the Ahmedabad resident succumbed to his injuries later in the evening, India Today reported. The incident was caught on camera and has sparked safety concerns for adventure lovers in India. Many users demanded a ban on such sports in the country due to the lack of expertise among handlers. Watch here: Still don't get how people trust adventure sports in India. Another life lost in Indrunag Dharamshala — 25 year old Satish from Gujarat. Just months ago a 19 year old girl lost her life at the same spot. The site was closed till September, but flights were still taking place. — Nikhil saini (@iNikhilsaini) July 14, 2025 Condemning the incident, a user wrote, 'Interestingly, paragliding has been banned till September, but what was the administration doing? If they can't spot massive gliders flying illegally right above, what exactly are they even watching?' Another user commented, 'Adventure sports in our country should be renamed as 'The Last Ride'.' 'Reckless negligence. Two young lives lost in months, yet no accountability. Adventure shouldn't mean risking lives due to poor safety enforcement,' a third user reacted. Authorities said that after the crash, Satish was initially taken to Zonal Hospital in Dharamshala and later referred to Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College in Tanda, Kangra, where he was declared dead, the report said. This marks the second fatal paragliding incident in Dharamshala this year involving a tourist. In January, a 19-year-old female tourist lost her life in a paragliding accident while taking off from the Indrunag paragliding site in Dharamshala. The same month, paragliding activities in Kullu's Gadsa got suspended after a tourist from Tamil Nadu fell during the activity and died, while the pilot suffered serious injuries.

Most disastrous WWE match ever when Undertaker almost died on live TV
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The Undertaker has been involved in some of WWE's greatest moments in history, with an almost unrivalled legacy. However, the decorated legend almost died in the middle of the ring during one of the wrestling world's most disastrous matches against fellow Hall of Famer Goldberg. Back in 2019, the two WWE icons faced off in the searing Saudi Arabia heat in the main event of Super ShowDown in a bout which fans, and the stars themselves, would rather forget. Goldberg collided with the steel corner early on and appeared to suffer a concussion, and almost dropped Undertaker on his head when he hoisted him up for his signature Jackhammer move. 'I was two inches away from making my wife a widow, and my kids fatherless,' Undertaker revealed in 2020's The Last Ride documentary. Fans watching were incredibly nervous, and referee Mike Chioda had a huge call to make at the massive stadium show. 'I almost had to call an audible [to end the match],' he exclusively told Metro in 2021. 'It went downhill after Goldberg got gashed open in the turnbuckle, got concussed. 'He was badly concussed and he got through the match, but barely. That's when I was kinda worried.' He recalled seeing both superstars 'almost break their necks' with the Jackhammer attempt, and veteran referee Chioda was waiting to see if there were any instructions to end the bout in his earpiece. He added: 'I was waiting to hear back from somebody to say, 'should I call this match or not because he's not doing good at all?' ' A few months after the bout, in October 2019, Goldberg – who will be in action for his retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER on July 12 – defended his performance in light of the injury. 'When I know the whole deal and everything, it's like, come on guys. Give me a break – I knocked myself out, dude,' he told Metro during an event in Los Angeles. 'Now let me see you walk down the street – let alone pick up a 320lbs dude – when you're knocked out.' Goldberg has said in the past that Chioda repeatedly checked on him, while the former WWE official noted that Undertaker had the final say about whether to continue or not. 'I would definitely listen to Undertaker. If he told me to do something, it'd be done, and then we'd have to take back there. It would be done,' he said, while pointing out the money at stake. As well as WWE being paid huge sums for the Saudi Arabia events, it's been reported that both men received seven figure paydays for the match. 'You ain't stopping a match like that unless you're told to,' Chioda laughed during another conversation with Metro in January this year. Things could have been very different, with former WWE superstar Elias – who know works for TNA Wrestling as Elijah – originally planned as Undertaker's opponent for the show. He exclusively told Metro in 2024: 'I can remember Vince [McMahon] said, 'Hey, you're gonna be working with Taker'. Taker pulled me aside, he's like, 'Hey, man, we're gonna go do some business at Saudi, we're gonna have some fun.' ' Plans changed, with Goldberg drafted in for what Elias referred to as an 'infamous match'. 'My personal opinion is, it would have went way better with me and [Undertaker] and a lot safer, probably,' he added. 'But, you know, that's how history goes sometimes.' The match went the way it did, finishing in just under 10 minutes with both men managing to walk away relatively unscathed, but both with a point to prove. 'It was very important to nobody but me,' Goldberg said of the wanting to rebuild his reputation. 'People were very critical of me, and I'll be honest, I never really respond to it.' A few weeks later, he faced off with Dolph Ziggler, now known as Nic Nemeth in TNA, in a dominant bout with the aim of getting back some 'self-confidence'. Metro's WWE expert Alistair McGeorge reflects on the match and its fallout… Even going into the match, Goldberg and The Undertaker had their work cut out for them, with the Dead Man being honest about his own physical limitations at the time, while his opponent was never known for five star matches. It was evident things had gone south quickly when Goldberg hit his head in the corner, and I can still remember panicking as he struggled to get 'Taker up for the Jackhammer. The vitriol online was predictable but intense, and it's safe to say the bout is remembered for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully, both men were able to atone for the match, with Goldberg looking more like his intense old self when he beat Ziggler a couple of months later at SummerSlam. His output since then has been mixed, but a final match next month against GUNTHER at Saturday Night's Main Event is the perfect way for him to go out. For Undertaker, he ended his career a year after the Goldberg match, beating AJ Styles in the cinematic Boneyard Match – a tonne of fun to watch as a fan, and a befitting end to his legendary career. 'Not for anyone else,' he pointed out. 'But I just needed to go out there and go through the motions, and know just 'cause you stumble once, [it] doesn't define you.' He added: 'It's a blessing and it's a curse. I'm never happy, but I'm always striving to be better than anybody else… [The Ziggler match] helped me out a lot.' Similarly, Undertaker didn't want to retire after the Goldberg match, and it wasn't until his cinematic horror movie-esque Boneyard Match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania in April 2020 that he found his closure. 'I was very proud of the match and what we were able to do,' he exclusively told Metro in May 2023. 'I wasn't mentally ready to retire, but I knew my body was getting to the point that I needed to,' he recalled. Around 10 months after the Goldberg match, Undertaker realised in a 'moment of clarity' he would have to call time on his career. More Trending 'It was about 4 in the morning and we were between one fight scene and another. My back is completely locked up, I've got pain shooting down my legs. That's when I knew I was done, I was for sure, 100% done,' he said. 'It was physical, we did some really big stunts, but I shouldn't have felt, at that point, the way that I did. It was just that moment of clarity… ''Let's finish it, enjoy what you're gonna do here because this is it.' I'm really proud of what we did in that match, but yeah, that was the moment that I knew it was all over.' View More » All WWE events are available to stream on Netflix. Got a story?

Sidhu Moose Wala's Fans Demand Justice On His 3rd Death Anniversary: ‘Never Forget'
Last Updated: Three years after Sidhu Moose Wala's tragic death, fans across the world continue to demand justice. Though silenced by tragedy, Sidhu Moosewala's voice continues to resonate—through headphones, car speakers, and the hearts of millions. On the third anniversary of his untimely death, fans across the globe have reignited their call for justice. Social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), was flooded with tributes to the late singer-rapper, turning timelines into digital memorials. The hashtag #JusticeForSidhuMoosewala trended as fans paid homage to the icon with emotional edits, lyrical montages, clips from interviews, and memories tied to tracks like 295, The Last Ride, and So High. For many, it wasn't just a remembrance—it was a demand. A demand to keep his legacy alive and ensure that those responsible for his death are held accountable. #Mooseforever ❤️ #JusticeForSidhuMooseWala — ਅਮਨ (@Aman13102830) May 29, 2025 29/5💔 #JusticeForSidhuMooseWala @iSidhuMooseWala #JusticeInTheDark — Sidhu Moose Wala fanpage (@5911SMW5911) May 28, 2025 #3Years_Of_Ignorance #JusticeForSidhuMooseWala What was the mother's fault in all this?Her only child was brutally shot d€ad without any fault or mistake‼️ Moosewala parents Deserves Justice‼️ — ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????

Just days before this somber anniversary, Balkaur Singh, Moosewala's father, made a striking announcement—he would contest the 2027 Punjab state Assembly elections from the Mansa constituency, the very land that birthed his son's legend. The decision, he emphasized, wasn't rooted in political ambition, but in purpose—a mission to seek justice for his son, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala. 'This is not just about Sidhu—it's about every parent who has been denied closure, every family that's waiting for justice," he said during a public address. He expressed deep frustration that, even three years after the assassination, many of the accused remain beyond the reach of the law. His political entry is both a protest and a promise—a father's refusal to let his son's death be reduced to a cold case. On May 29, 2022, Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in Mansa, Punjab—a brutal and calculated murder that shocked the nation and devastated his fan base worldwide. He was just 28. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder in a chilling statement soon after. The assassination was not just the loss of an artist—it was the silencing of a generational voice. In a twist of bittersweet fate, a year after the tragedy, Moosewala's parents welcomed a second child through IVF—a new beginning born from pain, which many fans see as a spiritual continuation of Sidhu's light. Born on June 11, 1993, in the village of Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu was more than a musician—he was a movement. A graduate in electrical engineering, he moved to Canada for further studies, where he first began dabbling in rap. But what began as an experiment soon evolved into something larger. With his signature baritone, unabashed lyrics, and fusion of Punjabi folk with hip-hop and drill beats, Sidhu Moosewala quickly rose to fame. His songs often spoke of identity, social justice, power, and personal grief—turning the mundane into poetry and the political into personal. With hits like So High, Legend, Selfmade, Old Skool, Just Listen, and 295, Sidhu carved a path no one else dared to walk. He challenged the norms of the Indian music industry, stood tall in the face of criticism, and created a space for bold, independent Punjabi voices in a space often dominated by formulaic pop. He collaborated with artists across borders and genres, earning respect not just as a performer but as a visionary. Despite controversies and censorship attempts, he remained unapologetically vocal.
