Speaking to The Express Tribune, Salman revealed, "In 2018, I am producing a unique Broadway-style show which will pay tribute to three legends, Nazia and Zoheb Hassan, Junoon and Vital Signs. I've already been in talks with Zoheb, JJ's sons, Momina Mustehsan, Asim Azhar, Irtaash and a few others."

According to the Sayonee hit-maker, the show will be a never-before- seen, audio-visual odyssey. "It will showcase the rich musical heritage of Pakistani superstars."

To honour JJ's first death anniversary, the music composer added, "The only way I can fill the void created by his death is to follow my heart. JJ wanted me to continue to create music, to motivate and inspire people."

"In 2018, I'll be reaching out to my Junooni friends to spread some 'Vital Junoon' for the fans. Raat dhalni to hai aaney ujaley to hain (It's going to be dark soon, but there will be light again)."
