Death and memorial of Turkish musician Soner Olgun
Overview
Turkish musician, writer, and director Soner Olgun has passed away at the age of 67 following a battle with pancreatic cancer. His death was confirmed via social media by his communication advisor, Fulya İnandıklı.
Olgun’s health had declined significantly since mid-September, when he required intensive care for a high fever before returning home for 24-hour nursing supervision. During that period, his former wife, Özlem Koldaş, raised allegations of medical negligence regarding the investigation of his diabetes symptoms. By early October, his condition worsened, leading to re-hospitalization and placement on life support via intubation.
A memorial service was held at the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage to honor his multifaceted career. Hosted by Burhan Şeşen, the ceremony featured a short film of Olgun’s life and interviews prepared by Nebil Özgentürk. Attendees included his daughters, Elif and Ayşecan Olgun, his former wife Özlem Koldaş, and various arts community figures such as actors Hüseyin Avni Danyal and Menderes Samancılar. During the service, Danyal highlighted Olgun’s impact as a journalist, writer, and colleague.
A graduate of Dokuz Eylül University, Olgun was widely recognized for his modern interpretations of Turkish folk and tavern music. His career spanned several decades and included notable works such as the album ‘Letafet’.
