He also gave many charity concerts for the children of leukemia for whom BARIS cared so much and tried to provide them the best he could.
He has a lot of fans whom called themselves BAG ( = The Ones Who Understand BARIS). They have supported him since he joined the Akademi Turkiye. Baris called them : ''my big loving family''.
It is still hard to believe that we have lost him... We have lost a wonderful musician, performer and we lost the future number-one rock star... but above all, we lost a great man, a wonderful person, a benevolent, breadth human-being !
We lost the person with a personality that is very rare to find and impossible to be replaced and his absence will always be felt.
We lost him on 4th of July 2007 after 5 days of deep coma in Private Bodrum Hospital which he was brought after having a car accident on the same day he was born and on the way to his 29th birthday party in Bodrum.
Millions prayed for him to survive while he was in coma in the hospital for five days after the car-accident.
But we lost him !
We lost him while he was getting ready for his third album and when he was planning to make his place certain on the top !
Thousands of people attended his funeral in Amasra ... thousands of people cried after him while millions of people were sharing the same feelings while watching his funeral on the Television.
Rest in Peace BARIS !
Maybe you lived a very short life and maybe there were many things you planned to do.
However, you have showed to everyone all of the ethical values which people seemed to forget.
You have been the best sample for everyone !

Thank you for all you have done and thank you for the values you have showed and added to our lives.

We will never forget you BARIS !

We will always remember you with your smiling face !
