He started working on the new album, but managed to record only the song "Modra bajka" ("Blue Fairytale") before he died of testicular cancer on 12 February 1990.[1] When his brother asked him how he felt twenty minutes before he passed away, his last words are said to have been: "Well, it's not like I can play football now, but I'm good...". The song, Modra bajka, was released for the first time on the Poslednja Igra Leptira compilation album Modra bajka – Best of (1997).[1]
