( https://www.facebook.com/kurt.ader ).I was just doing my regular weekly Kronos searches on Youtube and this video came up, didn't really realise what it was about at first but was excited to see Sevan Gökoğlu come up in the search as I love his videos on the Korg Kronos and Sevan Gökoğlu and Luke Edwards are the two big reasons I went for the Kronos in the end with their great videos

The German message under the video on youtube reads this in English (when I translated it on google I realised
):-An exceptional musician has sadly and unexpectedly left the stage forever .. Sevan Gökoğlu ..
On Friday evening Sevan Gökoğlu had played together with Stefanie Heinzmann and his fellow musicians in Locarno at the Moon & Stars Festival on the Piazza Grande an inspiring concert. Then the news spread that Sevan Gökoğlu died suddenly and too early at home on the night of Sunday, July 21, 2019. The exact circumstances are not known yet.
Sevan Gökoğlu was a wonderful person with a big heart and an exceptional musician with a keen sense for the right notes at the right moment.
His role models include Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and bands like Earth Wind & Fire, Tower Of Power or Jamiroquai, as well as the also deceased Prince, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, George Duke and Jimmy Smith with whom he can certainly celebrate a big session now in the musician's heaven.
His passion, his musicality, his creativity and his humor will not only be missing his wife, but also on many stages. He is already missing us all ..
R.I.P. SEVAN
I'm sure you have seen his videos on youtube of the Kronos, if not here are some of my favorites with him and the Kronos :-

R.I.P Sevan and my condolences to his Family and friends. Really an amazing talent that has gone too soon and Korg was very lucky to have him as one of the faces of Korg products as he did many different Korg products if you search Youtube.
