Renowned singer Cansever, born Dzansever Dalipova, passed away on August 8, 2026, at the age of 59. She died at the Westdeutsches Tumorzentrum in Essen, Germany, while undergoing treatment for leukemia.

Originally from Veles, North Macedonia, Cansever rose to fame in the 1990s, particularly in Turkey following her 1997 appearance on the television program ‘İbo Show.’ She was a prominent figure in the arabesque and Roman music genres, known for hits such as ‘Kara Çadır,’ ‘Ağla Gözbebeğim,’ and ‘Cemalim.’

Her health struggles included an ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis in 1994, for which she underwent surgery in Germany in 2009, and a leukemia diagnosis in late 2025. Despite undergoing a bone marrow transplant in Germany in March 2026, her condition declined following a recent infection that required intensive care.

Following her death, public reactions included expressions of grief and social media criticism from fellow musicians. Cansever was buried in her hometown of Veles, North Macedonia, following her funeral on August 12. 

In the wake of her passing, details regarding her private life have emerged. In a 2022 interview, Cansever had discussed a significant personal setback involving a relationship in Germany with a Turkish man she intended to marry. She discovered through a relative that the individual was already married, an experience she noted caused her to ‘lose faith in love.’
