İbrahim Tatlıses, born İbrahim Tatlı on 1 January 1952 in Siverek, Şanlıurfa, Turkey, is an Turkish pop-folk singer and actor of Arab-Kurdish origin [2][3] who sings in Turkish.[4] He was born in the city of Şanlıurfa, Turkey. Tatlıses has recorded 42 albums, including notable albums such as Ayağında Kundura and Selam Olsun. He is also the host of the television programme İbo Show and is a leading actor who has appeared in several dozen films. He has directed most of the films he acted in. Also, he is a businessman involved in the restaurant and tourism businesses, as well as in construction projects in Iraqi Kurdistan.[5] He was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in 2011.
Shootings
He was shot in the leg in 1990, and survived an assassination attempt in 1998. On 14 March 2011, he was attacked and seriously wounded in the head.[6][7] At 00:30 local time, he and his spokeswoman Buket Çakıcı were shot at by unknown assailants after leaving the offices of the private Turkish channel Beyaz TV following his weekly television show.[6][7] As they entered their vehicle, Tatlises was hit with a bullet that entered the back of his skull and exited through the front. Çakıcı was also hit in the neck, but survived the attack. The perpetrators carried Kalashnikov rifles and escaped in a black car.[8] He was taken to the Acıbadem Hospital in Istanbul for emergency treatment.[9] He underwent a four-hour operation to have the bullet removed, after which he was in stable condition. He regained consciousness five days later.[3] After a week, the doctors announced that he was recovering well. Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited him and also announced that he was recovering well. The police in Turkey arrested around 20 people involved in the attack.[3] On Thursday April 7, Tatlıses left Acıbadem Hospital with a police escort and travelled to Atatürk International Airport, where he boarded the Ministry of Health's Hawker 900XP air ambulance for Germany, to receive intensive rehabilitation at the Murnau Trauma Clinic.[10]
Childhood and private life
He is from a poor Arab-Kurdish family, and his mother was widowed. He did not attend high school. He sold tapes and sang at weddings and in restaurants until a producer discovered him in 1976. He adopted Tatlıses (sweet-voiced) as a stage name.[3] Kurdish is his native language.[4]
After returning from Germany, Tatlıses married Ayşegül Yıldız on 27 September 2011 in the rehabilitation facility where he was receiving treatment.[11]
