Producer Gennady Rybak died today. The businessman has been fighting cancer for many years. The death of the former director was a huge loss for Philip Bedrosovič. Kirkorov and Rybak worked together for 30 years. Gennady was also a close friend of the artist and got along well with his children.
Philip Bedrosovich honored the memory of the manager. The musician published several joint images from his personal archive. Kirkorov noted that he managed to fulfill one of the last wishes of his friend – to release his composition “If you leave” on the radio.
“Gena loved this song so much…he was waiting for it to be released. A song came out and he left… Strange mystical coincidences, ”said Kirkorov.
The judge of the show “The Mask” admitted that he recently resumed communication with his friend after two years of disagreement. In 2021, there was an argument between representatives of show business. The People’s Artist of Russia lost a vacation agency run by Rybak. Kirkorov also did not forgive his friend for working with Alla Pugacheva.
“We didn’t speak for a while but when we hit the rubber in January we erased all our differences. I want to express my condolences to his family and loved ones… Gena had a long battle with cancer. Unfortunately, the disease took hold today. He was a great professional, the most capable person I knew. He has set such a high bar in the profession of artistic manager that many will not reach, assured the “interpreter of the hit” Mood Color Blue “.
Philip Bedrosovich thanked the producer for joint projects, such as the show “The Other”, “I” and the final concerts at “Olympic”, as well as “hundreds of concerts that open new city tours to the audience.” The artist regrets that he did not have time to say much to Rybak.
“You were not just a director, you were part of my family, your huge heart gave love and warmth to my whole family as it carefully surrounded me and my children. Every word is hard for me, my heart tightens in my chest. We missed the last interview, we missed quite a bit. You were real. The kingdom of heaven to you! I pray to God for you … “Philip Bedrosovich added.
