A chilling speech by Volkan Konak, who suffered a heart attack during his concert and could not be saved, has come to light. The 58-year-old deceased famous artist had said during a concert in Germany in 2019, "Thank God I take after my mother's side; they live long. My father's side always dies young. My mother's side lives an average of up to 78. If we take after my father's side, we die at 58."

While his sudden death saddened his loved ones and fans, words spoken by Volkan Konak on stage 6 years ago have resurfaced. The 58-year-old deceased artist said during a concert in Germany in 2019, "What is the need for this fight? Is there anyone who has lived for 500 years? I only have 20 years left. Thank God I took after my mother's family; they live long. My father's family always dies. My mother's family lives an average of up to 78. If we take after my father's side, we die at 58." These words sent shivers down spines.
