UK rapper Tion Wayne has paid tribute to the late Punjabi singer and songwriter Sidhu Moose Wala in his latest music video for the track “Healing”.

His death was a shock to fans around the world, and the music industry mourned the loss of a young talent with so much potential.

The “Healing” video is a fitting tribute to Moose Wala, and a reminder of the enduring influence that artists can have on each other, even across different cultures and genres. Tion Wayne’s heartfelt tribute shows that music has the power to heal, even in the face of tragedy.
