Artist Bülent Ersoy, in a program she attended, stated the following about the late Zeki Müren: "He was very jealous and did not take his pills. Then he committed suicide. He died because of that, he committed suicide the short way, no one can say otherwise. 38 pills, every day, the number might change."
Singer Demet Akalın, who was spotted at İstinyePark the other day, said, "Bülent Ersoy shocked us. I was surprised by the suicide claim."
'I ASKED FOR HIS BLESSING'
Expressing that she saw Zeki Müren in the morgue after he died, Bülent Ersoy had said, "I saw him in the morgue after he died. His beard had grown, there was cotton in his beard. However, it would have been better if they had cleaned him nicely with an oil. I touched his two cheeks and said, 'Grant me your blessing.' But I never showed him any disrespect..."
Bülent Ersoy had said the following about Zeki Müren:
"He gave his old television to his employees and then complained about the people, saying, 'You stole this from me.' My jewelry had also been stolen. That is why we met at the police station. When I heard moaning sounds coming from a room inside, I asked what was happening.
They had put all his employees through the bastinado. Zeki Müren was a ruthless person. No one knows this, but he died out of jealousy of me. He normally used 36 pills, but he didn't take his medication at all when he died. He had a heart attack and died there.
Zeki Müren made clarinetist Şükrü Tunar, who was running out of breath, play songs one after another. The man died of a heart spasm at that concert. In Turkish art music, a Taksim is not given after a song. The man died there just like that. Zeki Müren was a jealous and vindictive person."
