IN Lately It was very difficult for Volkov to endure high temperatures. Even doctors could not relieve the businessman's bouts of pain. Sunday in one of best hospitals in Berlin, Volkov's heart stopped beating. The ex-wife of the producer Katya Lel was instantly informed about this.

The famous restaurateur and former producer Katya Lel Alexander Volkov has died. Last years Alexander Mikhailovich suffered from a serious illness. Doctors did everything to save the life of the 56-year-old businessman. However, Alexander Mikhailovich endured the past summer hard, the intense heat affected.

On Sunday, September 7, Alexander Volkov died in one of the specialized clinics in Berlin. Known largely thanks to her collaboration with Alexander Volokov, singer Katya Lel learned about the death of the producer from journalists, reports Life.

Recall that the relationship between Volkov and Lel was complex. Two years ago, they even met in court due to disagreements related to professional activity. Later, Katya refused Volkov's services.

Volkov's old friend, Lev Leshchenko, who introduced his former backing vocalist Lel to her future producer, in an interview " Komsomolskaya Pravda"The first to express condolences to the family of Alexander Mikhailovich:

He was one of the few who started to carry our show business abroad. The first artists who came on tour to Germany were received very warmly - thanks to his efforts, he did everything possible to make them comfortable and convenient to work with. He was a sincere and kind person, warmly treated his friends. We maintained warm relations, and we want to once again express through the newspaper our sad and mournful feelings to his family, friends, relatives and friends.

Back in the early 80s, Volkov was an influential person in the domestic show business, arranging tours for our stars abroad. He was the first to take Philip Kirkorov abroad with concerts, and in 1989 he organized Alla Pugacheva's "solo albums" in West Berlin. Among his "clients" were Iosif Kobzon, Alexander Rosenbaum, Sofia Rotaru. He was a successful restaurateur. Owned a chain of Japanese restaurants in Moscow, Kyiv, London.

The soloist of "Nepara" was hospitalized

Singer Victoria Talyshinskaya, soloist of the Nepara duet, was hospitalized in a Moscow hospital. The night before, the ambulance received a call from a 32-year-old singer. Victoria complained of terrible back pain in the kidney area. The VIP patient was immediately taken to the clinic and placed in a luxury room, the newspaper Your Day reports.

After all the necessary procedures, the diagnosis was made: renal failure. Despite the fact that experts recommended long-term treatment, the singer chose to consult her personal doctor and soon left the hospital walls.

HI-FI group lost face

The soloist Mitya Fomin left the HI-FI group. Fomin is about to start solo career, therefore, is currently negotiating with its former producers about retaining copyright on several songs. It's about about at least three compositions: “The Seventh Petal”, “Homeless Child”, “And We Loved”, reports “Life”.

We finally agreed with my employers that we disagree, - says the singer. - I can’t say that producer Edik Chanturia and composer Pasha Yesenin accepted my departure with joy. They perceive my desire to part with the group as a whim. They think I'm joking. But I do it in my right mind. We discussed this for a long time, but now we have come to a common denominator. I tried to leave the group many times already, but this time the decision is final. The group is like a family. Now we must get used to the fact that we will exist without each other.

Ideally, I would perform in a group on big concerts and simultaneously doing solo projects. But these are incompatible things. Besides, I want to act in films. I have already been invited by director Valery Rozhko. And because of the dense tour schedule this is impossible.

It is difficult for ten years to perform the same thing. For 5 years there was not a single hit. I am not afraid of the fate of Shura, to whom Yesenin also wrote. Shura was at the peak of popularity when he left Pavel, he was bursting and sausage. I weigh my departure. I think that I have sat too long, and I need to do something of my own. I have already left a thousand times, but now the moment has come when we must part. I am grateful to the band, but 10 years is a long time. It must be admitted that the group became boring to the audience.

From the new year, Mitya Fomin will sing solo, he plans not to take a pseudonym. Now the team is looking for a new soloist. The big difficulty is to find a person who looks like Fomin.

I want to keep the right to perform popular songs, - the singer continues. - That's at least four hits. For example, Zhanna Friske left the "Brilliant" and found a second wind. She's at the peak of her popularity right now. He sings both new songs and hits of the group. For 10 years of performing, I have earned the right to retain part of the repertoire.

- said producer Alexander Volkov shortly before his death.

40 days have passed since the death of Alexander VOLKOV, known to many as the ex-producer Katya LEL. The 56-year-old businessman died after a long illness in a German clinic. Since there was no magnificent funeral in Russia, domestic journalists left this sad event practically unattended.

Mikhail PANYUKOV

A native of Borispol, Volkov, who spent his childhood and youth in Odessa, even before perestroika arranged tours of Soviet stars abroad. Fortunately, by that time he already had German citizenship. It was he who was the first to take to capitalist countries Philip Kirkorov, and in 1989 organized solo albums Alla Pugacheva at the prestigious Congress Center West Berlin. Alexander also held concerts Joseph Kobzon, Alexander Rosenbaum, Sofia Rotaru and many others.

Body parts

Alexander Mikhailovich was a colorful personality, often flashed on the pages of glamorous publications. He was often mentioned in fashionable novels, though often in an offensive context - "a businessman with an obscene nickname." The fact is that "behind the eyes" in bohemian circles he was called by name - Sasha, adding a noun denoting the sirloin of a person's body. Once, to a direct question about this, Volkov answered directly and frankly:

I have such a nickname. Because I often told my opponents: “I have more brains in my f ... than in your head!” What these opponents have achieved in life - no one knows. Volkov also opened a network of first-class restaurants in Moscow, Kyiv, London. By the way, on the coast Foggy Albion, his establishment is one of the top five in the whole of the UK. And this is in addition to success in the field of show business!

"Interesting" tennis

One pop artist from the very first "echelon" told me a funny story.

Volkov was riding in an elevator with an authoritative businessman Alexander Mikhailov (Mikhas) and dropped a tennis racket from his hands (the meeting took place somewhere on vacation). I tried to lift it, but I couldn’t: he was a fat man, not at all athletic ... Polite Mikhailov helped him. They started talking and agreed to play tennis "for fun". As a result, Volkov won five thousand dollars on the court from Mikhas. Perhaps this is a tale. But the fact that Alexander Mikhailovich always knew how to achieve his goal is a fact. So it was with his favorite project: - In 1996, I came to a performance for Leva Leshchenko, - Volkov recalled. - I went into the dressing room, I saw a girl, her eyes shone ... I wound up! Alexander at that time was 46 years old. Backing vocalist Leshchenko, girl Katya Chuprinina from Nalchik - 22. Later the whole country will know how Katya Lel.

Purchased "Ovation"

It took Volkov seven difficult years to make Katya Lel a real star.

In particular, he paid her the victory on the project " Music Ring”, bought two prestigious Ovation awards, paying $ 15,000 for each (he personally confirmed this!), And Yuri Aizenshpis for help in promoting the singer, in addition to fantastic fees, he also presented a white limousine. Volkov managed to throw the protege to the top of the pop Olympus with the help of Max Fadeev, who wrote two super hits for her - “Musi-Pusi” and “Jaga-Jaga”. For each, 50,000 "conditional units" had to be paid. Soon, Lel decided that she could do without Volkov both as a woman and as an artist. When he, sensing something was wrong, demanded that a legal agreement be concluded between them, the girl bucked. Streams of mud poured on Volkov: a tyrant and despot allegedly demanded that the ward on her knees swear on her father's grave that she would never leave the producer. By the way, Katya Lel's father was treated for a serious illness, and then they were buried at the expense of Alexander Mikhailovich.

Epitaph pop

"Creature!" - this is how Katya Lel was described by Joseph Kobzon at Volkov's funeral. However, let's be objective. Alexander Mikhailovich was married all this time. (His "half" lived abroad). Perhaps if he had offered his hand to Katya, everything would have gone differently. Is it worth reproaching a woman for dreaming of full-fledged personal happiness?

On the other hand, business is business! If you are already moving to a formal relationship with a person, be decent, like a business partner. Katya, roughly speaking, simply “thrown” the benefactor, refusing to share the profits from her performances with him. But according to the most modest calculations, Volkov invested in it only for last step, literally on the eve of parting at least three million dollars! However, God is her judge. Katya has already said that she forgave the producer for all the insults. Whether Volkov forgave her, we will never know. Shortly before his last trip to Germany, he crossed paths with a colleague in the production department Alexander Valov. - I asked creative plans Alexander Mikhailovich, - said Valov. But he replied: “No! The current show business is a complete betrayal and bl .. in! More precisely, you probably can not say ...

By the way

Now Katya Lel is in her second month of pregnancy. " Interesting position” spurred the singer to quickly formalize relations with longtime boyfriend businessman Igor. The 36-year-old actress appeared at the registry office in a white wedding dress and veil, the guests noted her incredibly blooming and happy look.

The childhood of Katya Lel

The girl was born in sunny Nalchik and fell in love with music from early childhood. Music was played almost constantly at home, and Katya grew up, getting used to listening and singing. When dad Katya and her sister Ira bought a piano, there was no doubt left for the girl that she wanted to and would study music. At the age of seven, she was taken to a music school, where she studied in two departments in parallel. Both of them graduated with honors. Katya understood that professional vocals- her vocation, she felt that she not only likes to sing, but she also succeeds. Understanding the vocation came quite early, so the girl devoted a lot of time and effort to music and vocals.

The first songs of Katya Lel

After music school Katerina entered a music school, and then became a student at the Institute of Arts. She already at that age understood that, having remained in hometown, can only count on a quiet life without special prospects, but she wanted to improve her vocals and achieve something more. Katya felt that she could, but for this she had to go to the capital. And so she did. In Moscow, the girl entered the Gnesinka. Katya's teachers were Yuri Bazdyrev, Lev Leshchenko and Iosif Kobzon. It was 1994.

Realizing that her future depended only on diligence, Lel tried to study with all her might. At the same time, she participated in performing activities. The first victory of the beginning singer took place in the same 1994. At the all-Union competition of young performers, she became a laureate. The name of this competition is "Musical Start-94".

For the first time she performed at such high level and received recognition. Of course, it was very pleasant for the young performer, she gained faith in her strength, felt that in Moscow she could succeed. In 1998, she graduated from the Higher Academy with honors. Katya had a diploma of a professional vocalist in her hands.

Katya Lel on the Russian stage

Katya's surname is Chuprinina. She decided that she needed a pseudonym that would correspond to her inner self, would be sonorous, short and positive. So she became Katya Lel, and the singer changed her last name even in her passport.

Katya Lel - I Miss You

At the beginning of the journey, Katya was helped a lot by Lev Leshchenko. At one of the competitions, not really hoping for anything, she approached him and asked if he really had a center for young talents, and gave him a cassette with her songs. Imagine Katerina's surprise when Leshchenko called back. A few days passed, and she had already gone on tour, performed in St. Petersburg, in Karelia and other places.

Collaboration with Alexander Volkov

For several years, Katya worked with Leshchenko, was in his backing vocals, and toured a lot. He also introduced her to Alexander Volkov. This producer took up the "promotion" of Lel. They cooperated for several years, but everything ended in a scandal, followed by a lawsuit.

The producer and the singer mutually blamed each other. According to the court decision, Katerina was obliged to coordinate her own concert activity with Volkov. Nevertheless, Lel is grateful to Volkov for his cooperation and for the fact that he met in her life, for what the producer did for her work. Without him, there would be no album "Champs Elysees" and "Herself", Katya sang the songs "I miss you", "Lights", "Peas", etc.

Katya Lel's work with Max Fadeev

The next important figure in the creative activity of the singer was Maxim Fadeev. With his help, Katya changed her clothing style and repertoire, her album "Jaga-Jaga" was released. It was 2004. At the very beginning of cooperation, the singer had to urgently lose four kilograms. While recording the clip "Marmalade", the girl almost fainted on stage.

In the State Central Concert Hall "Russia" the singer released a solo program in 2004, at the same time Katya became the winner of several awards. It was with Fadeev that she reached the heights of popularity, although the scandal with Volkov negatively affected her popularity.

In 2006, Katerina released a new disc, which was called "Kruchu-Verchu". The singer herself acted as the producer of the album. The six songs included in it are Lel's own songs. She is both a lyricist and a composer. At this time, her popularity was on the decline. The singer's seventh album was released in 2008. It's called "I'm Yours".
