Taher Shah has left Pakistan. Yes, the international singing sensation who gifted us with two HUGE hits, “Eye to eye” and “Angel”, cemented himself in the international pop culture.

 

Sadly, his home country couldn’t respect him as an entertainer

 

There were trolls

 

There was ridiculous mockery

 

There were haters

 

And because of all this negativity, our Angel decided to depart to some land far away

 

And this is why:

According to Express Tribune, “Pakistan’s famous singer Taher Shah, who is known for spreading love through his music had been receiving life threats for quite some time”.

The statement Taher Shah’s manager shared with Express Tribune further stated, “recently Shah made his film debut with Pakistan’s first online film and it seems like the haters are not admiring his approach of using arts to the benefit of mankind. Perhaps that is the reason why he was getting threats . Shah was left heartbroken when the government failed to provide him security and as a result of which he decided to leave Pakistan.”

Here’s how the internet has been reacting ever since news of the Angel’s departure spread:

We really hope you’re not gone forever, Angel.
