Grammy Award-winning Indian musician Zakir Hussain died in San Francisco on Sunday night, his family said, APA reports citing Deutsche Welle.

The 73-year-old tabla maestro had been in a hospital due to complications from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a rare lung disease, according to his family.

At the 66th Grammy Awards earlier this year, Hussain had won three awards, to add to his previous two wins.

"It was a great day for India at the Grammys and I'm proud to be carrying the national flag," he posted on Instagram after his win.

He is survived by his wife, Antonia Minnecola, his daughters, Anisa and Isabella Qureshi.
