The long-awaited performance of the Honored Artist of Russia in Perm on February 8 ended in a scandal. At first, everything did not go according to plan, Nikolaj’s performance was delayed by an hour, and the novice singer warmed up the audience for him. When Noskov nevertheless appeared on the stage, he allowed himself dirty words. The musician performed two songs from his repertoire, and during the third he disappeared backstage without explanation. He did not appear on stage again and the audience had to leave the hall in upset feelings.
According to eyewitnesses, the artist was in an inadequate condition and constantly repeated: “Where am I?”. Some users suggested that he was drunk, others took pity on him and attributed everything to illness. Organizers said the “It’s Great” singer had a bad flight and was not feeling well.
The Permonians, in turn, complain to the organizers of the concert – according to them, the sound was of poor quality. Many intend to ask for a refund, ticket prices ranged from 1,500 to 5,500 rubles.
After the interrupted performance, the former lead singer of the Gorky Park group addressed the audience, but did not go into details. “Dear friends! Please don’t be angry. With God’s help! And your help. Everything will be fine,” Noskov said on his Telegram channel.
Nikolai’s wife Marina commented on the scandal just as briefly. “Then the concert in Yekaterinburg went well, so draw your own conclusions. Everything is okay now. I will not speak for him. That is very insensitive. Everything is okay now. Don’t worry, everything is fine. Today we have a concert in Tyumen,” Gazeta.ru quotes Nosková.
Despite poor health and a concert in Perm, the musician continued the planned tour. After Tyumen, fans are waiting for him in Tula and Ryazan.
In 2017, the artist was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a stroke. He couldn’t quite recover from it. Two years later, Noskov returned to the stage with the concert program “Live”, but due to the paralysis of the right side of his body, he sits in a chair or in a wheelchair during the performance.
