Fake News of Abida Parveen Death Spread Online: Daughter Clarifies the Rumours

In January 2026, rumors of Abida Parveen death spread extensively on social media, which alarmed fans. Her daughter attested that the legendary Sufi singer is alive and well. This misunderstanding happened following the demise of another woman with the same name.

Recently, reports about Abida Parveen death dominated the social media. According to these posts, the Queen of Sufi Music had died on January 8, 2026. All these rumors are however unfounded. Her daughter was quick to release a clarification on the issue publicly to calm the nerves of the fans. She assured that her mother is okay and in perfect health.

The misunderstanding began when another woman with the same name Abida Parveen died in the Dalgran Chowk locality in Lahore. The users of the social media confused this local report as the world-renowned singer. This gave rise to a ripple effect of misinformation in the South Asian diaspora that went all over in hours.

This is not the first occasion that we have witnessed Abida Parveen death hoax or health scares. Her team was forced to refute Instagram claims of her being terminally ill in late October of 2025. They called upon media houses to take down posts that could not be proved to be true. In January 2025, earlier, the photos of the singer in a wheelchair were the subject of a stir. Her staff clarified that she took it to soothe herself on the occasions of the lengthy events and not due to a serious illness.
