Rastorguev Nikolay health. Nikolai Rastorguev does not protect his health: the musician was convicted of an unhealthy lifestyle
On June 12, the Lyube group was supposed to perform on the central square of Tula - the concert was dedicated to the Day of Russia. But right before going on stage Nikolai Rastorguev I felt a strong pain in my heart. I had to call an ambulance and he was urgently taken to a local hospital, where the doctors decided to hospitalize the singer. The Lube group nevertheless performed in front of the townspeople - with Tula soloists from the Slavs group. And right from the stage they wished Nikolai good health. Everyone was worried: what happened to him?
Later, a spokeswoman for the group said that Nikolai had an arrhythmia attack. Someone even added - age-related arrhythmia.
But Nikolai is not so many years old - only 60. And health problems have haunted him for a long time. In 2015, he was taken to the hospital right from a concert in Israel - there was a terrible heat, and for the cores this is a big burden, his pressure dropped sharply. In the same 2015, everything was repeated in Pyatigorsk. Rastorguev was also urgently hospitalized on the eve of the concert in honor of the 235th anniversary of the city, which was celebrated in September.

And in 2009, the artist beloved by the people underwent a difficult operation to transplant a donor kidney.
All this time, there were rumors among the people that the cause of the singer's illness was excessive drinking and smoking: eyewitnesses claimed that Nikolai tarred one cigarette after another.
Rastorguev himself only laughed at the rumors, and in one of the interviews he admitted: yes, there were periods when he allowed himself a little more than now, but without sprees and brawls. And after a kidney transplant, if she allows herself something, then only a little quality alcohol and a good cigarette. About the operation on the kidney, he said that the reason for it was not drinking at all, as the yellow newspapers claimed. On ski resort, where he rode with his wife Natasha, he caught pneumonia, bilateral pneumonia. And she gave a severe complication to the kidneys. After that, he changed his lifestyle and began to monitor his health more.
True, the press did not always believe him. And headlines recent years often excluded each other: some attributed to him the words: “I will never stop drinking and smoking!”, Saying that the singer does not want to change his lifestyle in order to continue to feel like a full-fledged person.

Others quoted with a hint: “A glass of vodka” is not my repertoire.” And they cited the singer’s words about annoying groundless rumors.
Be that as it may, the artist, whom the public loves so much, clearly needs to seriously pay attention to his health. Arrhythmia is an insidious disease. It means “inconsistency, awkwardness”, a pathological condition in which the frequency, rhythm and sequence of excitation and contraction of the heart are disturbed. In short, it is any violation of the normal rhythm of the heart.
This disease has many causes, many manifestations. But the main thing is that it needs serious treatment, constant monitoring and observance. healthy lifestyle life without worries and stress. It is difficult for any artist to perform the last one, because every performance, even for such a super professional as Nikolai, is still a strain of strength. True, giving up the profession is even more stressful.
Now the singer has already left the hospital, is at home. He told fans that he feels fine.
It remains only to wish Nikolai good health. And new bright performances.
And at this time
Vyacheslav Malezhik, 70, suffered a stroke. He himself announced this on his website, referring to fans:
— Intensive work that I did on concert venues, at radio stations, in the publishing houses of newspapers and magazines, they probably took a lot of effort! And I missed a dangerous stroke. In an instant, I forgot how to sing, play the guitar and walk. The prognosis of doctors is not without optimism. Will live. Pray for me!

The most important thing is that the singer himself does not lose optimism, and this is the main condition for him to fully recover and sing again. Fans wish the singer good health.
In February, the leader of the Lyube group, Nikolai Rastorguev, celebrates his 50th birthday. On the eve of the holiday, the musician is full creative plans, which even a serious illness cannot break. We already wrote that last year Nikolai Rastorguev ended up in a hospital bed. The musician had pneumonia, which gave complications to the kidneys. A year has passed since then, but the health problems have not disappeared.
“I have a rather serious story, and it continues,” Nikolai admitted in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper. “We are fighting, as they say.”
“The council of very serious representatives of medicine, which met on my occasion, could not determine exactly what the disease could have caused,” the musician said. “One version: many years ago I suffered a sore throat, which gave complications to the kidneys, and this process developed imperceptibly for several years, and then sharply manifested itself.In our country, all medical examinations are fucked up, and now, if you feel yourself more or less tolerably, you will never go to the doctor.But you should donate blood at least once every six months, take care of yourself."
Previously, Nikolai practically did not get sick at all, and has not been to the doctors since 1983. However, even after the news of the illness, almost nothing has changed in the life of the Lube leader. At least he has no desire to go to church or turn to a psychic.
“No, this doesn’t occur in my brain,” says the artist. “But I give myself a report of what happened to me and psychologically prepare for the next serious procedure. Apparently, a kidney transplant is ahead.” Where exactly the operation will take place, in Russia or abroad, Nikolai does not yet know.
In general, Rastorguev has already got used to his new state. “The difficulty is that three times a week you need to go to certain procedures,” the musician complains. “And it takes a lot of time. Otherwise, I live exactly the same as before.”
The disease of its leader also does not affect the work of the group. On February 23, the Kremlin will host a big solo concert groups, and on tour around the cities of Russia "Lube" travels regularly.
Here is what Nikolai himself says about this: “As soon as I left the hospital, we immediately continued to perform tightly. Now we have agreed on our tour schedule with my procedures and everything is fine. Moreover, today not only in Moscow, but also in other cities there are qualified doctors.
In the near future the team plans to release a new disc. Material is already being worked on. “Now we have prepared three new songs, I hope we will soon add a few more compositions to them and slowly, not by some dates, we will release the next disc,” Rastorguev shared. “I think it will turn out easy, not loaded ...”
In the songs of "Lube", as you know, patriotic themes are often traced. Nikolai himself says this about his attitude to the current situation in Russia: “Of course, not everyone likes it, but development, it seems to me, is going in right direction. And there is no need to repeat all the time that everything is bad with us, to drive people into a corner. We have to be optimistic about the future."
For twelve years, doctors have been relentlessly fighting for health popular singer Nikolai Rastorguev. However, the artist himself believes that he has fulfilled his mission and can leave. Nikolai had already made a will, as he was tired of fighting for his life every day.
Recall that after complications caused by bilateral pneumonia, the doctors diagnosed the leader of "Lube" with "renal failure". Upon further examination, it turned out that the disease is progressing and the only salvation is a kidney transplant.
The singer flatly refused the option of organ transplantation from close people and decided to wait for the cherished donor organ in order general queue like a mere mortal.
Now every week Rastorguev visits the 10th building of the Central clinical hospital where he undergoes vital hemodialysis procedures. “He is a regular client with us,” says the doctor of this corps. “He arrives in the morning, and, as Nikolai says, his ordeal begins, from which he is tired. The procedure lasts more than 4 hours. lead such a lifestyle - drink strong alcoholic drinks he is forbidden, but he does not listen to us and brushes us aside, while saying the same thing: how much he is destined to live, so much he will live, no more and no less.
IN last time the singer was hospitalized at the beginning of this month with severe intoxication of the body. The body literally swelled from an incredible amount of liquid, Nikolai Vyacheslavovich had a fever, chills and dizziness appeared. The specialists did not even examine him, but immediately took him to the department and connected him to an artificial kidney machine.
“The patient's condition was so severe that a little more, and we would not have saved him,” says the hospital doctor. “Due to the fact that both kidneys do not work, intoxication occurred.”
However, Rastorguev believes that he fulfilled the life plan that every man is entitled to - he planted trees, built a house, raised sons, so he wants to spend the last moments in his life as if he is not sick with anything.
Now the singer has left the noisy city and moved closer to nature. He found a place away from human eyes in a small closed cottage settlement "Golden Town".
The cottage settlement includes no more than 20 houses; all infrastructure is well developed in it. In the village of Nikolai Rastorguev, everyone loves and respects, no one is indifferent to his tragedy.
“We call him ‘our father’ among ourselves,” the guards at the checkpoint joke. Lately if he leaves his house, it is only to go to the hospital. But someone always comes to him. His eldest son Pavel and his wife, colleagues at work. And not so long ago, he came to us with a bottle in the evening, but we refused: according to the charter, we are forbidden to drink at work. So he “sentenced” one bottle, and after everyone sent it and went home to sleep.
Famous Russian singer Nikolai Rastorguev, leader of the Lube group, who has been suffering for several years incurable disease underwent kidney transplant surgery.
According to relatives, the artist now feels fine.
It is already known that the operation was successful. Rastorguev was transferred to a separate ward, where he can communicate with relatives and friends, but only by phone, since it is still impossible to visit the singer - only one day has passed since the operation.
All upcoming tour performances of the Lyube group have been postponed to a later date, because Nikolai will need rehabilitation after a complex operation.
Recall that the doctors diagnosed Rastorguev with chronic renal failure. The singer did not go to the doctors for ten years, coping with sharp pain in the lower back folk remedies. However, a couple of years ago, in 2007, for the first time in many years, he ended up in the hospital for several weeks. The diagnosis shocked the soloist of "Lube" and his relatives.
According to one version, Rastorguev's kidneys could not withstand the frantic rhythm of the artist's life, when he endured all the diseases on his feet, self-medicating and swallowing painkillers.
Doctors periodically connected the singer to the “artificial kidney” device and long ago issued their verdict: a donor kidney transplant is necessary. Not so long ago, Nikolai himself mentioned in the press that he would have a kidney transplant, for which he is psychologically preparing.
At one time, the singer flatly refused the option when one of the relatives donates his kidney native person. Nikolai also refused to use his name and connections to speed up the process of finding an outside donor. “I don’t want to focus on illness. Let my health not excite the fans. The main thing is my creativity. And I will deal with health myself, ”he said.
Rastorguev's colleagues are sympathetic to his problems. Administrators and organizers of concerts know: do not invite the singer to events on Tuesday and Thursday - these days he has hemodialysis.
The Lyube team says that usually the artist these days tries not to leave the capital, or only to those cities where there is an “artificial kidney” apparatus. The other day, after a concert in Tomsk, Nikolai spent four hours in a general ward for nine places on hemodialysis (during the procedure, he watched movies on a laptop), and then steamed in the sauna, jumped into the snow, dived into the pool. And the next day he went on the tour route.
As it became known, now the artist is at the Institute of Transplantology. Yesterday he was transferred from intensive care to surgery.
- Just had an examination, we gave him a sedative, - said the doctor of the clinic. - Everything is fine, now Nikolai Vyacheslavovich is sleeping.
- The operation went well, - said the press secretary of Nikolai Rastorguev Ekaterina Bykova. - We will not do because of this secret. We hope everything will be fine soon.
According to experts, in terms of surgical intervention, a kidney transplant operation is quite easy. Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Urology Department of the State Medical University Safar Hamidov, said that “on the 10th day, skin sutures can already be removed. And in a month - to be discharged from the hospital home. Provided that the patient will be in good physical condition and there are no complications - inflammatory reactions and rejection reactions. Donors are carefully selected for genetic compatibility, so the organs of relatives - parents, brothers and sisters are considered the most suitable. With this option, the donor organ begins to function already on the fifth day and takes root better.
The "unrelated" organ begins to work only after two weeks. But even the organ closest in genetic composition is perceived by our body as a foreign body, turns on the immune defense and begins to actively push it out.
As practice shows, the peak of possible rejection of a donor organ falls on the second or third week after the operation. Therefore, at this time, the patient must be under strict supervision. He is prescribed large doses of various immunosuppressive drugs. In the future, the doses of drugs, depending on the tolerability and effectiveness of therapy, change. But patients still have to take them for life, because the risk of organ rejection always remains. In the future, patients should undergo professional observation every 3-6 months. And, if everything goes well, then Rastorguev will be able to return to the stage in about three months.
Lyube is a Russian musical group founded in 1989 by Nikolai Rastorguev and Igor Matvienko. Nikolai Rastorguev - Honored Artist (1997) and People's Artist of Russia (2002). The group's musicians Anatoly Kuleshov, Vitaly Loktev and Alexander Erokhin were also awarded the title of Honored Artist (2004).
Childhood and youth
The small homeland of Nikolai Rastogrguev is the village of Lytkarino near Moscow, where he was born on February 21, 1957. Vyacheslav Nikolaevich, the father of the future singer, was a driver, mother Maria Alexandrovna worked at a garment factory. Later, when the daughter Larisa appeared in the family, she left her job and began to sew at home in order to devote more time to raising children. 
Recalling his childhood, Rastorguev noted that it was the most common: yard games, football, forays into the forest, trips to the surrounding construction sites. For such adventures, he often flew in from a strict father, as well as for mediocre academic performance: in almost all subjects, including behavior, Kolya had triples. Although the boy certainly could not be called "stupid" - in free time he read a lot, drew, played the guitar.
Rastorguev came to his passion for music thanks to a friend whose mother was the director of the Illusion cinema and always provided his son and his friends with counterfeits. In 1974, the boys saw on the big screen "A Hard Day's Evening" - a film about the history of bands The Beatles. The tape became a real event in the life of a young Lytkar.
Inspired by the success story of the Liverpool Four, he began to learn the guitar, although he was sure that he had neither hearing nor musical abilities. However, it was thanks to his vocal data that he was accepted into musical ensemble, speaking in the recreation center of neighboring Lyubertsy. And love for The Beatles remained with the singer for life. In 1996, he even released the album Four Nights in Moscow, presenting his listeners with his cover versions of the Liverpool hits, and having once visited a Paul McCartney concert, he could not contain his feelings and burst into tears.

After graduating from school, the young man became a student at the Moscow Technological Institute of Light Industry. He entered there against his will (he himself wanted to continue musical career), but at the insistence of the parents. Nikolai often missed boring lectures, and in the end the management decided to deprive him and other malicious truants of scholarships. After that, Nikolai decided in his own way to "deal" with the head of the group, who reported to the dean about the absence of classes. The beaten headman ended up in the hospital, and the student Rastorguev was expelled. It is noteworthy that Nikolai's mother sided with her son: “He did everything right. I myself taught him that for the truth you can embed.
On this receiving higher education for Nicholas it was over. He got a job as a mechanic at the Lytkarinsky Institute of Aviation Motors, and soon married Valentina, a girl who lived in the same yard. In 1977 their son Pavel was born.
The beginning of a musical career
After the work shift, Nikolai worked part-time, entertaining the public in restaurants and on dance floors. In 1978 on young man Jazzman Vitaly Kleinot drew attention, inviting Rastorguev as a vocalist in the Six Young VIA to replace Andrei Kirisov, who left the band. A couple of years later, the future frontman of the Aria group Valery Kipelov joined the line-up, and in September 1980 the musicians in in full force teamed up with VIA "Leisya, song". 
Until 1985, Rastorguev performed in VIA Leisya, song, until the team was disbanded due to criticism of the authorities (the participants were accused of not fulfilling the state program). Left without work, Nikolai auditioned for the VIA "Singing Hearts", but there was no place for a vocalist for him. However, he was warmly welcomed musical group"Rondo" - for about a year he was the bass player of the band.

In 1986, Rastorguev replaced vocalist Oleg Katsuru in the VIA Hello, Song. The new "appointment" became fateful for Nikolai: he met the novice composer and keyboard player Igor Matvienko, who, as it turned out, had long nurtured the idea of creating musical group with patriotic songs.
Rastorguev and the Lube group
On January 14, 1989, work began on the first songs of the new band in the Sound studio. Nikolai Rastorguev was on vocals, Alexey Gorbashov from the Mirage group and Viktor Zastrov from Lyubertsy performed the guitar parts. This is how the first two songs were born: "Old Man Makhno" and "Lyube". 
The history of the name "Lube" originates from Ukrainian language- “Lube”, which in the youth jargon of those years meant “everything, anyone”. By naming the group in this way, the musicians wanted to emphasize that their songs will be accepted with a bang by all music lovers, regardless of age, gender and genre preferences.
"Cells", the first clip of "Lube" (1989)
Two months later, the song "Old Man Makhno" was broadcast on the radio. And on television, the group first appeared in 1989, performing the songs "Don't Chop, Guys" and "Atas" at the second New Year's festival "Christmas Meetings" by Alla Pugacheva. According to Rastorguev's memoirs, it was the prima donna who gave Lyube some advice on the image. At her suggestion, a military uniform of the 1939 model appeared on the group members: a tunic, tarpaulin boots and riding breeches.
In 1990, the demo album "Lube" - "We will now live in a new way or rock about Lyubertsy" saw the light of day. The title track of the album told the story of a young man who lives in step with the times, goes in for sports, criticizes western image life and promises to help start new life hometown. Later, the disc formed the basis of the debut album "Lube" - "Atas" (1991).
The popularity of the team is growing rapidly: prize-winning place at the festival "Song of the Year-1990", performances on television, including the popular intellectual show "What? Where? When?". In 1992, the group's second full-length album, Who Said We Lived Badly, was released.
"Lube" - "Roulette", performance on "What? Where? When?"
In 1993, the musicians decided to mix their music videos V Feature Film. So the light saw the tape "Zone Lube" with Marina Levtova in leading role. According to the plot, her heroine, a journalist, interviews prisoners and guards of the zone, and each story is a song of the group.
"Zone Lube"
In May 1995, "Lube" presented to the public a song that became their number one hit: the song "Combat", which instantly topped the domestic hit parades and was recognized best song of that year. And a year later, the release of the album of the same name took place, which, in addition to "Combat", included the compositions "Soon demobilization", "Moscow streets", "Eagles", "Dark mounds are sleeping" and other hits. In support of the album, the group staged a large-scale tour, later there was a performance at the "Slavianski Bazaar" in Vitebsk and a duet of Rastorguev with Lyudmila Zykina ("Talk to Me").
Two years later, the musicians pleased the listeners with the fifth studio album“Songs about people”, which included compositions familiar to all fans of the group “There, behind the fogs”, “Guys from our yard”, “Starlings”, “The Volga River Flows” (duet with Zykina), “Song about a friend”.
"Lube" - "Combat"
In 2000, Lube celebrated its 10th anniversary with the album Half Stations. Almost all the songs from the new album became hits. So, the song "Soldier" was awarded the "Golden Gramophone", and the composition "Let's break through!", With which the series "Deadly Force" with Konstantin Khabensky began, in the "zero" years, every viewer knew.
In 2002, Rastorguev was awarded the title People's Artist. In the same year, Nikolai tried himself as an actor on the stage of the Mayakovsky Theater, taking part in the production of Love in Two Acts.
Rastorguev also has experience working on television: in 2005 he had a chance to host a cycle of documentary programs “Things of War”.
Political activity
In 2006, Rastorguev joined the United Russia party. He justified his decision by the fact that this faction, in his opinion, was the only political force with potential. In 2007, he tried to enter the State Duma of the 5th convocation from Stavropol along with Sergei Shoigu and Alexander Karelin, but he did not have enough space. He was put into reserve, and in February 2010 the singer received a deputy mandate instead of Sergei Smetanyuk, then entered the Duma Committee on Culture. 
In the 2012 presidential election, Rastorguev supported Vladimir Putin; was registered as his official trustee.
Personal life of Nikolai Rastorguev
Rastorguev met his first wife Valentina at the age of 15: the blue-eyed blonde was the most beautiful girl yard, was engaged in dancing and was preparing to enter the choreographic school. Four years later, they got married and began to build a family nest in a 12-meter room in the apartment of Valentina's parents. 
Soon after the birth of their son Pavel, the young family began hard times. Valentina's father, who provided financial assistance to the newlyweds, died, Nikolai was left without work and was interrupted by odd jobs. However, harmony reigned in the house: the understanding wife did not drive Nikolai to any job, believing that sooner or later his talent would be appreciated.
Alas, the marriage, which withstood the test of difficulties and hardships, eventually cracked. 15 years after his marriage, in 1990, Nikolai met Natalia, a costume designer for VIA "Architects". For a long time they met secretly, and one day Nikolai simply did not return home from the tour, and soon played a wedding with his beloved. In 1994, the couple had a son, Nikolai.
The younger Rastorguev did not have a special craving for singing, but he still sang in the school choir, and also voiced Giyar, one of the main characters, in the cartoon Prince Vladimir.
Health problems
In his interviews, Rastorguev repeatedly noted that he wanted to serve in the army, but received a white ticket due to health problems. However, some sources cite other words: allegedly Nikolai wanted to get into the landing force, but studied at the university, which is why he did not join the ranks of conscripts.In 2007, the singer became seriously ill. Constant fatigue, insomnia, back pain ... At first, he sinned on a heavy workload and age, but the doctors diagnosed him with "chronic renal failure" in an extremely neglected state.
A kidney transplant was required, and while the doctors were looking for a donor, Rastorguev had to undergo hemodialysis every day. Because of this, the geography of the Lube tour was seriously reduced, until the singer underwent a transplant in 2009.

In June 2017, the Lyube vocalist was urgently taken to the hospital before a concert in Tula, where the group was supposed to perform at a celebration in honor of the Day of Russia. The singer had a heart attack, but the doctors said that there was no threat to life.
