also released a single "Pjesma za Edija" (Song for Edi). After Edi's death and the big concert Noć svijeća (Night of Candles) in front of 50,000 people at Stadion Poljud in Split in 1993, Kovač publicly announced that he would not perform again and took his first name again; however, he held a whole series of farewell concerts and did not end his career. He also recorded other patriotic songs during the Yugoslav Wars, such as "Grobovi im nikad oprostiti neće" (Graves Will Never Forgive Them) and "To je zemlja gdje žive Hrvati (Herceg-Bosna)" (That's a Land Where Croats Live (Herzeg-Bosnia)). In 1996 he held a concert Svojoj vjernoj publici (To My Faithful Audience). In addition to his son Edi, he lost his mother and younger brother Ratko in the 1990s, while his daughter Ivana struggled with addiction. After years of depression and alcoholism, on 14 January 1999, in a Zagreb apartment at Maksimirska 69, Kovač shot himself in the chest with an unregistered Beretta pistol, but he managed to survive and fully recovered, and his mental state improved considerably. Back to scene After recovering from a suicide attempt, he held a big concert at Dom Sportova in Zagreb. However, that was not the end of Kovač's career. New albums followed; in 1999, Mišo recorded the album Budi čovjek dobre volje (Be a Man of Good Will), as he says, thanks to his daughter Ivana. The following year, he briefly returned to music festivals and immediately won the Split Festival with the song "Vraćam ti se Dalmacijo mati" (I'm Returning to You, Mother Dalmatia). In the same year he recorded the big hit "Dalmatino", a kind of anthem of Dalmatia. In September 2001, he held two concerts in New York for Croatian emigrants and donated half of the proceeds to the families of firefighters killed on 11 September. For the new studio album Mir u srce (Peace in the Heart), released in 2004, in 2006 he received a silver award, and for the compilations Pjevaj, legendo (Sing, Legend; 1999) and Najdraže pjesme Miše Kovača (Favorite Songs by Mišo Kovač; 2003) two platinum awards. From the album Mir u srce, the single "Rođo moj" (My Cousin) achieved the greatest success. In August 2004, with Klapa Teuta as guests, he held a concert on the Republic of Croatia Square between the Cathedral of St. James and the city hall in Šibenik. The
