Soloist popular group"Freestyle" Nina Kirso fell into a coma after a complex operation.

Kirso was found unconscious at her home in Poltava on June 1. She was diagnosed with a stroke. The next day, doctors performed an operation on the singer, but after it the artist continues to be in a coma.

According to Freestyle participant Sergei Kuznetsov, her husband, Freestyle director and composer Anatoly Rozanov, and her son were on tour these days, and at the time of the stroke, the artist was alone at home. Because of this, time was lost to provide important first aid for a stroke, and Kirso needed a major operation.

“Friends missed when she stopped answering calls for a long time, and when they entered the house, they found her in the kitchen,” Kuznetsov was quoted as saying by KP Ukraine. —

It was a sudden attack. If she just felt bad, she would somehow get to the sofa, and as she stood, she lost consciousness.

A well-known Russian producer, director of the Laskovy May group, Andrei was the first to report on the singer’s condition and is following the news from Ukraine with great attention and concern. Razin also noted that he was ready for the sake of Kirso to cancel his anniversary concert to be held in September.

"Nina is in a coma. On June 2, Nina underwent a complex operation, the producer wrote on Instagram. - The Tender May group is praying for her health.

We all pray for Nina's health, she underwent a complicated operation. We hope for a miracle. Nina and I were supposed to have a concert dedicated to my anniversary on September 15, 2018. Nina always performed at my anniversaries. I think if anything happens to her, I will cancel the concert.”

Later, Razin on his page turned to the Minister of Health of Ukraine Uliana Suprun, noting that due to the difficult political situation he could not come to Ukraine to support his colleague.

“We appeal to the Minister of Health of Ukraine Uliana Suprun with a request to do everything possible to save the life of the 55-year-old soloist of the Freestyle group Nina Kirso, who is in a coma and underwent a difficult operation in Poltava,” the producer said. —

Unfortunately, we cannot visit her due to political differences. Therefore, we ask you to do everything possible for her recovery.

Nina is very talented person and if something happens to her, it will be an irreparable loss for all Nina's fans. Dear Ulyana, save Nina.

According to the latest reports from the Ukrainian press, Kirso has been in a coma for the third day.

Nina Kirso has been performing in the Freestyle group since its foundation in 1988. The ensemble accompanied the star of the 80s for a long time and, having collected enough of their own material, decided to change the name and record their own album.

In 1989, Vadim was admitted to the group, who was a soloist in the team for a short time, but it was at this time that Freestyle was comparable in popularity to such "folk" groups as Laskovy May and Mirage.

In 1992, Kazachenko left the Freestyle group and began solo career and released debut album in 1993 He took the place of the former vocalist of the band.

In the 90s, the group recorded several hits of a truly all-Union scale: “Oh, what a woman”, “It hurts me, it hurts”, “White blizzard”, “Viburnum blooms”, “Kiss me hot”.

Unlike his former colleagues in the team, Kazachenko began to live in Russia and received Russian citizenship. The singer continues to perform around the country with concerts and take part in various shows. In particular, he was one of the participants in the second and fourth season project "One to One!". In 2011, Kazachenko received the title of Honored Artist of Russia.

Freestyle group in last years tours mainly on the territory of Ukraine and Belarus, but occasionally performs in Russia. The ensemble translated some of their hits into Ukrainian language. A few years ago, Freestyle opened its own recording studio in Ukraine.

The Freestyle group is the most popular, as VIA was then called in the late 90s of the last century. She owes her appearance on the big stage to talented Poltava residents who were part of the first team since 1988, Anatoly Rozanov (leader, composer, sound engineer), Nina Kirso (vocals), Anatoly Kireev (vocals), Sergey Kuznetsov (computer, keyboards, backing vocals ), Alexander Bely (keyboards, arrangement), Sergei Ganzha (guitar, back vocals), Vladimir Kovalev (guitar, back vocals). A month later, Vadim Kazachenko (vocals), Alexander Nalivaiko (drums) joined Freestyle, Anatoly Stolbov (keyboard player) began to perform instead of Alexander Bely. In 1990, Anatoly Kireev left the band, and Vadim Medvedev replaced Alexander Nalivaiko on drums. Two years later, Vadim Kozachenko begins a solo career, Vladimir Kovalev also leaves, but the group's songs sounded in a new way with the arrival of vocalist and guitarist Sergei Dubrovin.

The recordings of the Freestyle albums, and there were 9 of them in total, which included 121 songs, were a real event. The whole country enthusiastically accepted "Farewell forever, last love”,“ Yellow roses ”,“ White acacia ”,“ Exhausted heart ”,“ Viburnum blooms ”,“ Boat of love ”,“ Star Rain". The songs “It hurts me, it hurts”, “Evil fate”, “You are worthless”, “Three pines”, “Happy birthday, mom”, “Lanterns” enjoyed incredible success, the famous “Oh, what a woman”, causing a quivering response in the hearts of the audience of different ages.

The group's new arranger, Yuri Savchenko, managed to bring the creation of the ninth album to a higher level of quality. To the credit of this group, former and current soloists both on recordings and on numerous concert performances can easily reunite, and then, peacefully dispersing, continue to work separately.

In the next tenth edition of Freestyle's creative work, they plan to include songs performed by Nina Korso and Vadim Kozachenko, although everything that has been written now is designed for the irresistible Nina Kirso and the new soloist of the group Sergey Kuznetsov.

In 2009, a jubilee MP3 (KVADRO-DISK publishing house) collection of songs by Anatoly Rozanov was published, it included 80 works by the group, both new and reworked old Freestyle hits from different years.

Nina Kirso and Sergey Kuznetsov are currently working hard and fruitfully, giving concerts, recording new songs, TV channels of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus vying to invite them to shoot in popular programs.

The soloist of the Freestyle group has been in a coma for more than a year. Doctors do not yet give optimistic forecasts. The team continues to tour, but Nina's songs are now performed at concerts. The singer told us how she works in a popular group.

"I got into the team without casting"

- Nata, tell us how you became a Freestyle soloist?

The fact is that literally in March last year, Nina Kirso and her group performed in one of the Odessa restaurants at the boarding house where I worked as a singer. Members of the "Children of Freestyle" team often came there. Actually, I met the musicians and Anatoly Rozanov (the founder of the group, husband of Nina Kirso. - Auth.) there.

After the old New Year, the sound engineer "Children of Freestyle" called me and said that the leader Anatoly Rozanov wanted to talk to me. The team urgently needed a soloist. To be honest, I did not know about the situation with Nina Kirso. Didn't follow breaking news. When I was told about this, I was very upset. I was told to urgently send my videos. As a result, they offered to come to their studio in Poltava. I thought that there would be a casting, but they said that it would be only me. On February 3, I crossed the threshold of the Freestyle studio (smiles). That's how I got into the group.

- Immediately agreed to sing in a group?

I thought a little and agreed.

- Have you consulted with anyone?

Only with my family. I was worried about the children, because they will soon go to first grade. Mom said we can do it. This opportunity must be seized!

- Do your children now live in Odessa?

Yes, with mom. Relatives also help.

- Do you live in Poltava now?

I live in Odessa, but I come to Poltava, I record songs at the studio.

- Have you dreamed of a big stage before? Perhaps you have taken part in television competitions before?

Of course, I have been going to this for a long time. I did not participate either in the "Voice of the Country" or in the "X-factor". I didn't have much desire either. When I moved from the Crimea to Odessa, I thought about how to feed my family. Therefore, there was no time for competitions. In general, the fact that I became the soloist of Freestyle came as a surprise to me. My life has changed dramatically. I was very worried. After all, I came to the legendary group in which Ninochka Kirso was a soloist. Exciting to be in her place. I never aspired to replace someone, but in connection with this situation I had to. I want Ninochka to get well. But the Freestyle group needs to develop further.

- Honestly, have you listened to Freestyle songs before?

Certainly!

- What are your favorite songs?

At one time I even sang "Viburnum blossoms", "Happy birthday, mother" in a restaurant. Of course, she sang along with the song "Oh, what a woman." Many of the songs I knew and heard repeatedly.

"Compared to Nina Kirso"

- Do you remember your first performance as a Freestyle soloist? Were you very worried?

There was excitement in my voice. On February 3, I came to the group's studio, and on February 15 I already went on stage. I was worried, but I think I got over it. Moreover, not all people knew about what happened to Nina Kirso. For many, this came as a surprise.

- At first, you were probably compared with Nina Kirso?

Certainly. Anatoly Rozanov warned me right away that this would happen. He told me not to worry about it.

- Did you read the comments under the video with your performance in the group?

They wrote that at the concert I sang to the soundtrack of Nina Kirso. We have different voices, but perhaps there is a slight similarity. I have a soprano, and Nina has an alto. Normal fans should know the voice of their idol. And if they compare, it means that they are inattentive.

- Didn't that offend you?

I was warned that this would happen. I knew that I needed to move forward, so I did not lose heart. Now I'm not as worried as I was at the beginning. The members of the group supported me. I am grateful to them for this.

Are you already recognized on the street?

Not yet. Perhaps, after the release of the new video, they will begin to recognize.

- How do you work in a male team?

Very good. The guys are supportive and supportive. Don't let me get lost. I listen to their advice. We get along great.

QUESTION EDGE

- Before becoming a soloist of the group, did you review the performances of "Freestyle"?

Yes. After all, I needed to know how the band members performed. They had practiced movements, for example, during the performance of the song "Kiss Me Hot". Like it or not, but you have to repeat them. We perform at the concert both new songs and those that Nina sang. After all, people love them, they should sound and bring joy to people.

TO THE POINT

"I don't imitate anyone"

- What advice from the band members do you remember the most?

Remain yourself. There will be excitement in any case, but the main thing is not to get lost, smile, be joyful, no matter what they say. Be confident on stage. Of course, I was worried, because I had to sing on the spot beloved Ninochka Kirso. But I remained myself, did not imitate anyone. Yes, they talk about the resemblance to Nina Kirso, but this is the opinion of people. I never aspired to be like anyone!

Last week, a concert was held at the Palace of Culture of the plant legendary band"Freestyle", the participants of which presented their new songs and old hits to the Zheltyvodtsy: "Yellow Roses", "Metelitsa", "Oh, what a woman", "Three pines on a hillock", "Droplet" and many others. 25 year old creative activity the group attracted a lot of fans, a full house gathered in Zhovti Vody!

The Freestyle group includes Nina Kirso, Sergey Kuznetsov, Sergey Ganzha, who have been performing in this group since its foundation - that is, a quarter of a century, as well as two other professional musicians: Yuri Zirka and Yuri Savchenko. The audience warmly welcomed the artists, the tone of the concert, of course, was set by the charming and artistic Nina, who changed outfits three times during the performance and generously shared her positive energy with the audience. “Oh, what a woman” - these words from the Freestyle hit characterize the “beautiful half” of the group in the best possible way. I was convinced of this by talking with Nina Kirso in her dressing room after the concert.

- At the Baptism?

- Yes, for 8 years now I have been dipping into the hole at Epiphany. In the last couple of years - even twice: on January 18 and 19.

- Extreme woman you are!

- You do not say! Here, together with me, a pregnant woman was dipping - in the fifth month, who was afraid to give birth. She then gave birth to a healthy baby.

– Thank you for sharing the recipes, but now, after all, let's talk about creativity. For 25 years, you either found yourself at the top of Olympus, or somehow got lost ...

– Yes, these are subjective points. There used to be a TV program “Hello, we are looking for talents”, but now no one is looking for anyone. It is necessary to break through on television, crawl through there by hook or by crook. In addition to talent, you need to have connections, acquaintances. Therefore, I had to worry different periods. And now Freestyle has reopened…

- second wind?

– Not even the second one. The first climb was at the very beginning. These are the songs “I don’t believe you”, “Yellow roses” ... And it ended with “It hurts me, it hurts” - this tremendous success. And suddenly the Union fell apart, all ties were cut off, Ukraine went its own way. We are far from Moscow.

- And where do you live now, if not a secret?

– We lived and live in Poltava. We have a studio there. We were really looking forward to the moment when everyone would not have to go to Moscow. And, look, now, the same Serezha Zverev is often in Kyiv, and other artists, presenters of Russian news programs. The fact that at one time all countries separated, and each took its own path, is generally not bad. Another question is how to live normally in the world without inventing enemies. My husband Anatoly Rozanov, founder and composer of the Freestyle group, was born in Maykop, lived in Pyatigorsk. His family ended up in Poltava in the 70s. The fact is that during the war years his grandfather died there - the commander of a partisan detachment, a hero who was buried in Poltava where he was lit Eternal flame. Therefore, my husband's family was given an apartment in Poltava, where they moved from Russia. Anatoly did not know the Ukrainian language, but he fell in love with Ukraine. And now we have a desire to write a hit in Ukrainian. Such sobі "hіtyaru"! Shchob taka bula, yak "Don't joke with Chervona Ruta in the evenings ...". But it's hard to program. If the Lord vouchsafes that we have such a text… It should be deep, and we should be able to properly execute it… We, after all, are Russian performers. I seem to know English, but if I sing in it, it will be clumsy. The fact that children are now learning English, French, and German at school is wonderful. In general, I am for the friendship of peoples, for a good relationship between nations. My mother's maiden name is Lukashenka. How, for example, after that not to love Belarus? But the fact that my son did not have a Russian language until the 5th grade is not good! This year my child read the first serious book in Russian - "Crime and Punishment" by F. Dostoevsky. This is the book that connected me to my husband.

– And how?

I was then re-reading Crime and Punishment (in school years I didn’t read this book in full), and when Anatoly and I walked down the street after rehearsals, I recounted to him several chapters I had read. By this I somehow subdued him, struck him. By the way, I read War and Peace in its entirety at the age of 18. At school, I read only about the war, and skipped about love, although the teacher said that all the children did the opposite. That's the kind of brain I have.

- Nina, who, in your opinion, is worthy of respect from a cohort of young contemporary performers?

– You know, all people deserve respect. Every person is unique, even the homeless. And we have no right to look down on him, with contempt, condemnation. You just need to appreciate what you have, and rejoice in it, thank God for it. And don't judge others. Well, I got distracted by philosophy. As for young performers, I like many. It's just that fate brings some people together, you start to be more interested in their work.

- Nina, by tradition, we would like to hear your wishes to our readers.

- I wish that you always have a job, but that you do not forget to have a good rest! I wish you learn to forgive your enemies, so that the Lord helps your city, and you live in peace, and even if some kind of revolution happens, let it go peacefully. Love a friend and… a little Freestyle!

- What is the secret of the longevity of the Freestyle group? - we asked Sergey Kuznetsov, her soloist and keyboardist, author of the lyrics for the songs “Farewell forever, last love ", "Yellow roses"," The candle burns outand many other hits.

- Perhaps, in the fact that we have in the first place, after all, the song. Many bands break up due to the fact that it is difficult for them to find suitable song material. And our leader and composer Anatoly Rozanov created 99.9% of all the music performed by our group. And I wrote the lyrics to more than 70% of our songs. We all trust each other in creativity and are friends for life. We spend holidays together. Basically, like a family. Thanks to the people of Zheltovodsk for the warm welcome, for the fact that they love our old songs, this inspires us for further fruitful work!

- There is a problem with good authors, - another musician of the group Sergey Ganzha joins the conversation. – Those performers who are authors themselves are more likely to succeed. Our group was lucky to have a composer and authors of poems. We are known in Ukraine and abroad, we are adults, accomplished artists, it’s a sin to complain about fate. Although, of course, I would like to achieve even more.
