''OH MY BROTHER VOLKAN, OH!

The loved ones I have lost recently, the painful events we have experienced… We have no joy left, no taste, no spring, no holiday. Everything is missing, everything is incomplete…

I was on stage in İzmir just a moment ago. While lost in the music, I was shaken by the painful news I received. Volkan Konak… Our brother from ITU, my dear artist friend, has bid farewell to life on stage, amidst applause. At that moment, time stopped, the music went silent, something else broke inside me. I wish patience for his family, his friends, and everyone who loved him. Our condolences.

I am in indescribable pain. It is impossible to explain this with words. When will this darkness inside me clear? When will we breathe again, when will this sorrow subside? I don't know… All I know is that this void growing inside me deepens a little more every day… That I feel a little more lonely, a little more incomplete after everyone who leaves…
