“I was in shock for a month and a half”: the author of the hits Pugacheva and Vetlitskaya is fighting with oncology 04/30/2023, 14:05

The Soviet and Russian pop composer and singer became the author of more than 500 songs from the repertoire of pop stars. Now Lukyanov devotes all his attention to his own health. The artist is fighting cancer.

“Lymphocytic leukemia. At a certain stage, the disease is not cured. The doctors say to wait for the tests and only then there will be chemotherapy. After this diagnosis, I was in shock for 1.5 months, “admitted Alexander Gavrilovich.

It is a malignant disease in which there is insufficient production of immature bone marrow lymphocytes that cannot perform their functions. Lymphocytes are responsible for immunity and cannot cope with the protective function, disrupting the work of other organs and suppressing the formation of normal blood cells.

Lukyanov wrote the song “Atlantis”, with which the career of Philip Kirkorov began. At first, the composer himself wanted to build a career as a singer, but he gave the composition to this artist. He has a warm friendship with Kirkorov: once the king of pop even refused his half of the fee in favor of the composer.

Alexander Gavrilovich was given 20 thousand dollars: at that time it was possible to buy a good apartment in Moscow for this money. The composer remembered how Kirkorov performed even when his mother was dying. The musician could refuse, but he put his duty to the audience above all else. O The composer said this on the broadcast of the program “Secret for a Million” on NTV.

Lukyanov’s songs were the most famous: Masha Rasputina and her “Let me go to the Himalayas” and “I was born in Siberia”, Natalya Vetlitskaya and “Whiskey-colored eyes”, Alla Pugacheva and “You are my dream”, Jasmine and “Mama said “, Lyubov Uspenskaya and “Se la vie” and many others.
