Due to being abroad, Mahsun Kırmızıgül was unable to attend the funeral of his stepmother, Zühre Bazencir. As soon as he returned to Turkey, he went straight to Bingöl. The famous singer visited his stepmother's grave and was overcome with tears there.

Last year, Mahsun Kırmızıgül lost his mother, Faike Arık, and recently he was shaken by the news of his stepmother, Zühre Bazencir's death.

HE COULDN'T ATTEND THE FUNERAL

Due to being abroad, the famous artist could not attend his stepmother's funeral, and as soon as he returned to Turkey, he went straight to Bingöl. Kırmızıgül, who visited Zühre Bazencir's grave, was overwhelmed with tears there.

"IT WAS A DEBT OF GRATITUDE FOR ME"

Sharing those moments on his social media account with the song 'My Mother, My Mother', Mahsun Kırmızıgül stated, "As soon as I returned to Turkey, my first stop was Bingöl. Attending the condolence for my mother, Zühre Bazencir, and praying for her was a debt of gratitude for me. There, I had long conversations with my late uncle's wife, the eldest of our family, and my sisters, reminiscing about the past."

"TIME DOES NOT EASE THE PAIN"

Later, the artist went to Diyarbakır to visit the grave of his mother, Faike Arık, whom he lost on December 6, 2024, and said, "What we call time does not ease the pain; it only gets a person used to it. I knelt at her grave and touched the soil. It felt like she was still there... If I reached out, it seemed like she would stroke my hair. I prayed, closed my eyes, and tried to feel her, but only emptiness remained; a deep and indescribable longing... What we call life is like a passing wind... The important thing is what we fill it with. Today we are here, tomorrow we are not, but the real issue is to live without leaving behind a broken heart, regret, and sorrow. Because in the end, only prayers and memories remain. I composed the piece you are currently listening to, titled 'My Mother, My Mother', for her. And unfortunately, I cannot perform this piece on stage right now. I won't be able to perform it for a long time. If I do, I will break down; if I do, I will cancel," he said.
