Volkan Konak, known as the Son of the North, collapsed while performing in the TRNC and passed away. The sad news of Volkan Konak, one of the master names of Black Sea music, who left us at the age of 58, deeply saddened the art community and his fans.
FIRST MESSAGE FROM THE KONAK FAMILY
After his passing, Konak's family published a thank you message for the support they received. The message shared on Konak's official social media account on behalf of his wife Selma and children Şimal, Volkan, and Derin Konak included the following statements: "We extend our endless thanks to everyone who stood by us in this difficult time, shared our sorrow, called, and sent messages. You gave us strength with your beautiful hearts. May we all find peace. He is with us in every poem, every song, every breeze, every rain, and every sunshine... Selma - Şimal - Volkan - Derin Konak"
"I HAVE BEEN INCOMPLETE WITHOUT YOU TOO"
Days later, a heartbreaking post came from Selma Konak, his wife of 35 years, who struggled to stand during the funeral. In her post, Selma Konak expressed the following sentiments;
"A dark, pitch-black night... On the night of March 30, Turkey lost the Son of the North, and I lost my soul. My heart aches so much that it is impossible to express this in words. 'Ours was not a love story. It was love, the rest is a story.' We were so connected that we lived every moment together, dedicating every moment to each other. Now, trying to understand a life without him and feeling the emptiness in my heart is very difficult. Your face is in my eyes, your voice is in my ears. Just as the Black Sea is left orphaned, I too have been incomplete without you. My poet-souled, lyric-speaking Volkan; separations are lived like this on the road to reunion. Leaving behind half-finished goodbyes of loneliness... Until the day we meet again."
