Saban Saulic - Biography
Šaban Šaulić (Serbian Cyrillic: Шабан Шаулић; born 6 September 1951) is a Serbian pop-folk singer. He is currently one of the judges on the televised singing contest Zvezde Granda. In 1970, he served the mandatory Yugoslav army service in Bitola in what is now the North Macedonia.
He initially married his wife, Gordana (born 1958), in 1974. The pair briefly separated in 1985, but were reunited again following a 20-day period of separation, after which they renewed their vows. During this period of separation, Šaulić wrote and released a hit song for his 1985 album Kafanska noć, titled "Gordana" for his wife. Together the couple would go on to have three children: one son Mihajlo, and two daughters, Sanela and Ilda (born 8 December 1978). Ilda has since followed in her father's footsteps and pursued a singing career.
In the early hours of 17 February 2019, Šaulić was being driven home from a concert held the night previously in Germany with his friend and a driver. At approximately 06:50am on Sunday morning, on the A2 autobahn between Bielefeld and Gütersloh, a drunk and unlicensed driver collided with the Seat Ibiza that Šaulić was being driven in causing serious injury to the driver, Šaulić and the third passenger. All three were taken to hospital, where Šaulić passed away. News of Šaulić's death was met with widespread shock and sorrow from the Balkan music scene, with many of his colleagues taking to social media to mourn the loss of the man many had crowned the "King of Traditional Folk Music" ("Kralj Narodne Muzike").
