The loved ones I have lost recently, the painful events we have experienced... We have no taste left, no salt, no spring, and no holiday... Everything is missing, everything is incomplete... Just a moment ago, I was on stage in Izmir. While I was lost in music, I was shaken on stage by the painful news I received. Volkan Konak; our brother from ITU, a dear artist friend of mine, has passed away amidst applause on stage. At that moment, time stopped, the music fell silent, and something inside me broke again. I wish patience to his family, friends, and everyone who loved him. May our heads be held high. I am in indescribable sorrow. It is impossible for me to express this in words. When will this darkness inside me be illuminated? When will we breathe again, when will this sadness cease, I do not know. The only thing I know is that this emptiness growing inside me deepens a little more every day. I feel a little more alone, a little more incomplete with each passing goodbye."
