The death of the artist Volkan Konak, who passed away in the hospital after collapsing on stage during a concert in the TRNC on Ramadan Bayram, has saddened the art community. The artist, who died at the age of 58, had previously expressed his thoughts on death in a program hosted by Mesut Yar, which touched many hearts.

"I AM VERY SORRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE ON BAYRAM"

During the program, "Son of the North" Volkan Konak said, "Death should be beautiful. I feel very sorry for those who die from stove poisoning in the south wind. I feel very sorry for deaths on Bayram. Death should be beautiful. It should be grand. Isn't it a brave thing to die fighting for a cause you believe in? The south wind is blowing, and you die from stove poisoning in Bursa. It shouldn't be this cheap. I can't accept this."

"THE STRONG LIVE THEIR LIVES, THE POOR PAY THE PRICE"

The artist continued his speech by saying: "But in my country, dying like chickens... They call it fate. A lie. The poor must die in my country. There are two concepts. Strong people and poor people. The rest is a lie. They are deceiving these people. The strong live their lives, the poor pay the price. That's how I see it."

VOLKAN KONAK'S LAST WISH HAS BEEN REVEALED

Years ago, Volkan Konak revealed his last wish during a concert. The artist, who did not want to be buried, wished for his body to be cremated and his ashes scattered over Trabzon.

"PLEASE DON'T BURY ME IN THE GROUND WHEN I DIE"

The artist explained his last wish with the following words: "This is my will to my loved ones, please don't bury me in the ground when I die. Burn my entire body. And put it in a box and scatter all my ashes over my Black Sea. Especially over my Trabzon."

HE SHOWED HIS ATTACHMENT TO HIS LAND

Konak's words once again highlighted the artist's deep attachment to the Black Sea and the land where he was born and raised. His statement quickly became a trending topic on social media, and many of his fans shared supportive messages for this emotional request.
