Neşe had undergone emergency surgery last year in Istanbul due to vascular occlusion in her leg, and although she initially recovered, she had been dealing with ongoing health issues. Reports indicate that she had been receiving treatment for her leg ailments for some time before her passing.
Her funeral is scheduled for April 17, 2025, in Istanbul, where family, friends, and fans are expected to gather to pay their respects. Tarkan's family has expressed deep gratitude for the support they have received during this challenging time, highlighting the outpouring of love and sympathy from the public.

The loss of Neşe Tevetoğlu marks a significant moment not only for Tarkan but also for his fans, who have followed his journey in the music industry. Many remember her as a loving figure who often appeared alongside Tarkan at public events and was a part of his life story.
In the wake of her passing, Tarkan's fans are rallying around him, sharing memories and tributes to both the artist and his beloved mother. As the world mourns the loss of Neşe Tevetoğlu, her memory will undoubtedly live on through the music and legacy of her son, Tarkan, who has captured the hearts of millions.
