The popular Bulgarian pop singer, Katya Filipova, passed away Sunday at the age of 63 from pulmonary embolism.

The news was reported by the Bulgarian National Radio.

Ironically enough, Filipova, who was considered one of Bulgaria greatest voices, died on her birthday.

Some of her songs such as "Unforgettable," "Good Acquaintances," and "Good Evening," have been real hits for many years.

The funeral service is scheduled for Wednesday at 12 noon at the "Saint Paraskeva" church in the capital Sofia.
