Personal Life
Ustad Amanat Ali died in his 40s in Lahore on September 17, 1974 of an appendix breakage. His son Ustad Asad Amanat Ali Khan inherited his father's beautiful voice and talent. After a very successful music career, Asad Amanat Ali died due to a heart attack on April 8, 2007, in London. His eldest son Amjad Amanat Ali Khan also died very young. His younger son, Shafqat Ali Khan is a successful fusion and sometime playback singer.
Since most of the newer singers like his son Shafqat Amanat Ali has moved away from classical Patiala style singing, this leaves Amanat's brothers Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan and Hamid Ali Khan, as the last of the Patiala legends.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
