The sad news about the death of the popular singer-songwriter Dino Dvornik, who died aged 44, hit his colleagues, co-workers and close friends hard. With a cramp in their voices, everyone was still speaking in disbelief and shock about how Dino was a talented musician, great co-worker and even better friend.
The family friend and colleague Alka Vuica commented the sad news about the departure of Dino through tears.
“I just heard from Danijela. Terrible. It is hard for me. Everyone loved Dino, especially we who worked and spent time with him. Dino was infinitely talented, a destructive person, but a great musician. I loved him very much. He was a real Dalmatian soul” Alka Vuica just managed to say with her shaky voice. She added that Dino helped her create music a lot. Together they thought of Alka’s great hit “Lazi Me” (Lie to Me).

This is a great loss to everyone”, said Giulliano. The shocked Nina Badric thanked Dino for opening the way for her and many other singers, and as she stressed, she will remember him for everything he was.
“Dino and I were in good relations for many years. Above all, I am in shock.

I will miss him very much, his goodness, lucidity, eccentricity. I will remember him for everything that he was” said Nina Badric.
