Early life[edit]
Šaban Šaulić was born on 6 September 1951 in Šabac, PR Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia to
Huso[1][2] [3] and Ilduza (née Demirović).[4] His mother Ilduza is originally
from Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina where he would often spend time while growing
up with his family. Šaban had a sister, Sarajka and a half sister from his father’s
previous relationship. Šaulić was primarily cared for by his older sister, Sarajka. [5]
Šaulić initially showed interest and affinity for football. It was his uncle Alija, however,
who first noticed that his nephew's true talent lay in music. In the mid-1960s, Alija asked
his nephew to sing at their local kafana, which was to mark the start of Šaulić's five
decade long musical career. Šaban Šaulić was of Bosniak descent. [6]

Career[edit]
In 1969, at the age of 18, Šaulić recorded his first single Dajte mi utjehu ("Give me
Solace"). The song became an instant hit and led Šaulić to make the move to Belgrade,
Serbia so that he could continue working on what was promising to be a successful
career.[6] By the mid-70s, Šaulić had become a household name and his songs were
much requested in kafane.
Šaulić was also a judge on the televised singing competition Zvezde Granda between
2013 and 2016, and the televised singing competition "Pinkove zvezde" in 2016-2017
season.

Personal life[edit]
In 1974, Šaulić married his wife, Gordana (b. 1958). The pair briefly separated in 1985;
during this period, Šaulić wrote and dedicated the song "Gordana" to her. Šaulić and his
wife reconciled after just 20 days.[7][8][9] Together, they had three children; a son, Mihajlo,
and two daughters, Sanela and Ilda.[10] Ilda is also a singer.[11][12][13]
Prior to his marriage to Gordana, Šaulić had a son out of wedlock, named Robert. He
acknowledged him and provided financial support until Robert turned 18. [14]
Šaulić's father died unexpectedly during Šaban's concert tour of Australia. He was not
able to attend his father's funeral which was held the very next day. Šaulić would often
express how he would never be able to come to terms with the fact that he was not in
attendance.[15]

Death[edit]
In the early hours of 17 February 2019, Šaulić was being driven to the airport on his way
home as he had held a concert the night before in Bielefeld, Germany. His best man,
Boban Stojadinović, was a fellow passenger in the car. His keyboardist, Mirsad Kerić,
who had accompanied him to the concert, was driving.
The grave of Šaban Šaulić in Belgrade

At approximately 06:50 am, on the Bundesautobahn 2 between Bielefeld and Gütersloh,

a drunk and unlicensed driver violently collided with the SEAT Ibiza that Šaulić was
travelling in. This caused serious injuries to all passengers. All three were rushed to the
hospital, where Šaulić and Kerić were later pronounced dead. [16]
The news of Šaulić's death was met with widespread shock and sorrow from his
colleagues and fans.[17][18] He was buried on 22 February 2019 in the Alley of
Distinguished Citizens at the Belgrade New Cemetery.[18]
In February 2020, Šaulić was posthumously awarded the Golden Medal of Merits of the
Republic of Serbia.[19]
