Verka Serduchka died when and where she was buried. A serious illness deprived Verka Serduchka of her children. Andrey Danilko latest news

Ukrainian actor Andrey Danilko really “a little over thirty” - this year he will celebrate his 45th anniversary. And he spent about half his life in the form Verka Serduchka- an impudent conductor with a terrible accent. He came up with this image back in school, and Verka earned popularity in the 90s, traveling around the world with concerts former USSR and somehow combining this difficult process with studies. This image disappeared from the TV screen to the people - when Danilko began hosting the humorous talk show “SV-show” on the “1+1” channel. Then he also started singing - in general, now Serduchka is an indispensable part of the Ukrainian cultural landscape, which can single-handedly literally pull out the very boring Eurovision, which was held in Kyiv in 2017.

And here is Andrei Danilko with the stage image that the audience loved. He announced this on the eve of the concert, which will take place on July 13 in Odessa. There will probably be other performances, but on the artist’s website there is currently only one inscription: “Vacation.”

“This will be a grandiose performance by an artist who misses her audience,” the vesti-ukr.com portal quotes Danilko as saying. — A brilliant show worthy of Verka Serduchka. She is already a holiday in herself! By the way, in addition to well-known songs, Verka has prepared several new compositions, the premiere of which will take place in Odessa.”

The farewell tour itself will not begin soon - in about a year. Exact dates have not yet been named, as well as the cities in which Serduchka will perform. Nor does Danilko name the reasons that forced him to break up with his conductor Verka.

Don't leave when you leave

Artists quite often mislead their fans with words about ending their careers. A typical example is the group Scorpions, who traveled around the former Union (and not only) for several years, saying goodbye to all her fans. Alla Pugacheva in 2009 she traveled to many cities with the farewell tour “Dreams of Love”, but later appeared again with new songs on stage and on television.

Verka Serduchka’s biography also had similar episodes: Danilko announced the end of his alter ego’s career back in 2006. True, he quickly clarified that we're talking about not about a complete cessation of performances, but only about solo concerts - they say, there are too many “fake Serdyuchkas”, so we need to somehow fight them. The method of struggle chosen was not the most ordinary - the artist simply complicated his shows.

Then his biography included almost winning Eurovision 2007, where Serduchka became second with the song “Dancing Lasha Tumbai”. After this triumph, Danilko almost stopped performing in Russia - many thought that in one of the choruses he sang “Russia Goodbye” instead of “Lasha Tumbai”. And since it was soon after the first Maidan, Russian concert venues vying with each other refused to cooperate with him. The artist accused the producers of the Serebro group, which represented Russia at that Eurovision and took third place, of the boycott.

As for the current announcement about the completion of the Verka Serduchka project, Danilko first spoke about it a year ago.

“It will be 2018, and we want to cover Germany and Israel, and end in Ukraine,” - this is how he described the future farewell tour, meaning by this tour “some kind of thank you” to the people who gave the boy from Poltava the opportunity to provide for himself financially, to live on Khreshchatyk and, in principle, do not work.

At the same time, in the same interview with vesti-ukr.com, Danilko almost directly said that he will continue to perform on stage - at some “new level”, which he was given to show on the stage of Eurovision 2017.

“I have already accumulated a lot of material that we deliberately do not show. “To then show everyone how to do it, how to make money from songs correctly, and so that no one steals all this,” said the artist.

So it is unlikely that it will be possible to part with Verka Serduchka completely - most likely, even after the farewell tour, she will return to the stage. Well, there is no doubt that along with new songs she will also sing well-known hits.

This was indirectly confirmed by Danilko’s representative.

“Most likely, it [the tour] will be a farewell tour, but we have not made any statements about this yet,” the artist’s representative told REN TV. He clarified that there were no official statements about his retirement, and added that we can only talk about Serduchka, and not about Danilko himself.

“Andrey has a lot of thoughts, a lot of ideas and new songs,” he said and reminded that Serduchka will perform in many places in the near future.

Andrey Danilko, popularly known as conductor Verka Serduchka, in Lately rarely appears in public. Due to this a large number of Rumors, gossip and speculation flooded social networks. Among them there were reports that a beloved artist had been killed. Let's try to objectively figure out what really happened to Andrei.

For more than fifteen years the artist has been performing on the stage in humorous female image, known not only in Ukraine, Andrei’s homeland, but in Russia, Europe and even overseas. The talented young man practically created his stage role himself, without producers or agents, and organized his own performances.

The future star was born in Poltava 42 years ago. The standard Soviet family of a boy (working-class parents and two children) was very financially poor, so the parents had to work a lot, and there was no time to engage not only in developing the potential abilities of their children, but also simply in raising them.

Without control from his parents, Andrei did not try at all in his studies, but he succeeded in amateur artistic activities at school. He was the captain of the school KVN team, participated in competitions with pleasure, and attended school theater classes.

Due to the lack of proper preparation, the young man was unable to enter either a pedagogical institute or a music school after graduating from school. There was only one way left - to vocational school. Therefore, his first specialty is a cashier-seller.

But creative person Andreya could not limit herself to precise objects. He independently came up with characters, created miniatures and went on tour with them. After some time, the idea comes to him to create his own theater. At this time, real fame came to him.

Danilko feels a lack of education, so in 1995 he entered the circus school. However, after studying for a year and a half, he was expelled due to lack of prospects. In fact, his views on creativity were at odds with those of his teachers. And yet he received an education, but at the Institute of Culture.

A new stage in his creativity was the performance of pop music in the image of Verka Serduchka, the release of several albums and video clips. The kitschy style of the songs created by Danilko brought him widespread fame and commercial success. The awarding of prestigious music awards confirms his recognition as a true professional. The star's participation in musicals added to his popularity and love from the audience. And second place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 brought Andrey European recognition.

The showman does not like to talk about his personal life, so the information that leaks to the press, as a rule, appears late or does not always correspond to reality.

In the last two years, Andrei Danilko has disappeared from television screens and does not give concerts either in Ukraine or in Russia. Fans became worried; not only assumptions appeared in the media, but also facts that took place several years ago.

One of these is the message about the murder of a showman. Let us recall an old story that happened to the artist.

After a rumor appeared that Andrei Danilko was killed in a Kiev cafe, the artist’s fans and journalists decided to get to the bottom of the truth. It turned out that the rumor had some basis. To the delight of fans, Andrei is alive and unharmed, but the murder was really planned. Igor Klinkov, the showman’s producer, later spoke about this.

The murder was planned to be carried out after Verka Serduchka’s performance at the Tavria Games in 2008. Somehow (this remained a secret), the producer became aware of the plans of the criminal, and he decided to strengthen the singer’s security. Before the performance, Danilko himself was not told about the impending danger, so as not to unsettle the artist. However, Andrei felt that something was happening. He was unnerved by the dozen and a half armed guards assigned to him by the producer. Because of this, there was even a dispute between Andrei and Igor, although the artist was subsequently grateful to his colleague.

The story with the star once again proves that, as a rule, those closest to you betray. Turned out to be a killer good friend Andrey, who has a destructive passion for playing in casinos. He got to the point where he even lost his apartment, but still owed money to the casino. Realizing that the sum of 125 thousand dollars was unaffordable for him, the player did not come up with anything better than to hide. However, they found him and began to threaten him with violence if he did not repay the debt. Trying to get out of an unpleasant situation, a traitor friend spoke about his friendly relationship with Danilko. He was offered to kill Verka Serduchka in exchange for forgiveness of his debt. Andrey’s friend did not suffer from remorse for a long time and agreed.

But, obviously, someone from the criminal company is a fan of the artist, and found a way to warn the producer about the impending assassination attempt. Unfortunately, the question of who the artist interfered with remained unclear. After all, it is clear that the murder was not being prepared for fun. The killer could not be detained.

When, after the performance, Danilko found out that he was one step away from death, he could not come to his senses for a long time. But this is not the only attempt on the star. The showman admitted that in 2010, when he tried his hand at politics, during election campaign to the Rada, Andrei was forced to withdraw his candidacy, sensing a clear threat to his life.

Now Andrey Danilko continues to do what he loves. He really does not perform on the Ukrainian stage, explaining this by the fact that the cheerful image of Verka Serduchka is now irrelevant in the country. In Russia, the singer sometimes takes part in concerts at closed corporate events, weddings, family holidays. He is engaged in creating new songs. Desiring to avoid political interpretation of his songs, the star tours abroad, often performs in the USA, and as a judge took part in the selection of singers for Eurovision 2016.

In addition, the artist is forced to pay more attention to his health. A tight work schedule, flights, and time zone changes led to insomnia and hypertension.

Childhood of Andrey Danilko

Andrey Danilko in Poltava. My father was a driver, my mother was a worker. They lived quite poorly. My father died in 1980 from lung cancer. To somehow feed two children ( elder sister Galina, 1963) mother worked as a painter in three shifts. Andrei studied at Poltava school No. 27. Here he met Anya Serdyuk, a shy, pretty girl, an excellent student from an intelligent family. They sat at the same desk at school. Anya treated Andrey well, but nothing more. How could she be interested in the son of ordinary workers living in a barracks? He even wears a shirt prom Classmates bought it together, Danilko’s family lived so poorly at that time.

The future showman did not study well at school, and Anya dreamed of becoming a teacher Ukrainian language. Andrei always told her that he would find a way to glorify her surname, to which Anya only smiled in response. He was the captain of the school KVN team, which constantly took prizes in city competitions. Since 1983, he became a member of the school theater-studio “Grotesk” under the direction of Anatoly Tregub.

School is over. Anya received a medal for her excellent studies. Her childhood dream came true, she entered the pedagogical institute, got married, gave birth to a daughter, and works as a teacher. After school, Andrei tried to enter a pedagogical institute, a music school. But it didn’t work out, and I had to go to a vocational school to study to become a cashier-seller.

The beginning of creative success - the birth of Verka Serduchka

In 1990, he created a bright character - conductor Verka Serduchka, with whom he has not parted to this day. On April 1, 1991, in his native Poltava, as part of humor, his debut took place in the image of Serduchka, which created a real sensation, after which the Stavropol Territory awaited him with his first tour. They began to invite him to various comedy shows and concerts. The artist completely devotes himself to creativity and creates many new memorable characters. This is how images of a policeman, a soldier, a ballerina, a teacher appear. The Danilko Theater is being created, which successfully “travels” the endless expanses of Russia and Ukraine.

Andrei understood that he needed to study; there was a lack of education. And in 1995, he entered the conversation department at the Kiev Variety and Circus School. I studied there for a year and a half. He didn’t listen to the teachers, he was insolent, he took with hostility what they told him and advised him. The result of all this is a deduction for lack of prospects, although his Serduchka was already quite popular and involved in various advertising projects on TV. True, a little later he still successfully graduated from Kiev National University culture and arts.

Musical career of Andrey Danilko

In the early 2000s, Danilko began performing pop music with elements of the ska musical style in the image of Verka. First, purely on Channel One’s “New Year’s Lights.” Then, with enviable frequency, he releases a number of albums and shoots memorable video clips, which were constantly broadcast on MTV at that time. The lyrics of the songs presented the image of Serduchka in a defiant kitsch style, which earned him wide popular fame and achieved noticeable commercial success.

Verka Serduchka "Gop-Gop-Gop"

Many of his compositions became real folk hits. This is clearly confirmed by the people's award “Golden Gramophone” for the songs “I didn’t understand” (2003), “Chita-Drita” and the duet with Glyukoza “I wanted a groom” (2004), “Knock knock knock” (2005), “ Dolce Gabbana" (2011). You can also recall the “Muz-TV Award” in 2004 for the album “Ha-ra-sho”. In 2007, he was recognized by the ZD Awards (Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper) in the Person of the Year category.

Film experience of Andrey Danilko

The first musical where Andrei was noticed was “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”, which premiered in New Year's Eve 2002. The role of the village moonshiner, brilliantly played by him, was loved by the audience. At the same time, another musical, Cinderella, took place. Then under each New Year musicals appeared with enviable consistency, where it was already unthinkable for Andrei not to participate in them.

"Crazy Day, Or the Marriage of Figaro" and " The Snow Queen" - 2003.

“Chasing Two Hares” – 2004.

“Sorochinskaya Fair” and “The Three Musketeers” - 2005.

"Morozko" - 2010.

“The New Adventures of Aladdin” - 2011.

"Little Red Riding Hood" - 2012.

History of Eurovision

For him, Eurovision 2007 is a significant event. For three years, Verka tried in vain to get into this television song competition, incurring the hysterical wrath of Ukrainians. In 2006, under their pressure, Andrei even withdrew his candidacy. What Andrei didn’t hear back then: a cheap clown, a disgrace to Ukraine, etc. He was perplexed, looking at this “harassment.” For him, the image of Verka is, first of all, a grotesque, a buffoonery.

In 2007, he finally made it to Eurovision with the eccentric song “Danzing”, which is a cute, simple “cocktail” of English, German, Ukrainian and Russian words. As one foreign journalist very aptly noted, the melody of this song can be easily tapped on the table with a spoon. Going to Helsinki for the competition, he repeatedly emphasized that he was not going to win - there was too much competition among strong vocalists. He wanted to show how Ukraine knows how to have fun and fool around. After all, before this, Europe highly appreciated the ethnic Ruslana and the classical pop singer Tina Karol.

But in his heart, he naturally wanted to prove that he was not just a clown dressed up as a busty woman, but an artist who represented something of himself. And he proved it by taking second place, losing only to the representative of Serbia. Newspapers in England, France, and Germany immediately began writing about Serduchka. A BBC film crew came to him to film the material, and this is already European recognition. What has he achieved? Glory? Yes! When the world-famous David Copperfield was asked what he associated the state of Ukraine with, he answered without hesitation: “Kuchma, Gorilka, Verka Serduchka.”

Personal life of Andrey Danilko

Andrey is still not married. But he kept his promise to the girl Anya: his Verka Serduchka (remember what the girl Anya’s last name was - Serdyuk) with a star on her head was remembered throughout Europe!

Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai

But for many of his fellow countrymen and relatives, he remained that school ragamuffin, grimacing on the school stage. His relatives living in a village near Poltava do not understand him and are hostile to all his work. They say it's normal there human life, children, farm, cows. And Andrei has the shame of having a foam rubber chest that sticks out all over Ukraine. True, recently, when the image of Serduchka began to bring in tangible income, my mother and sister began to be tolerant of all this. But Andrei, as a matter of principle, does not go on tour to his native Poltava. He says that he feels a tangible sense of guilt because he is a wealthy person in life, while people around him live in misery, in constant need.

There is no one close to him. And the older he gets, the less he needs someone in life. According to him, a few years ago he wanted to have a loved one nearby, to have a family and children. And now he doesn’t want to, he’s comfortable being alone. It is no coincidence that black became his favorite color. He is indifferent to all parties, he does not need prestigious clothes, cool mobile phone. He has a firm position on this matter: it is better to spend your earned money on charity, on good deeds, without advertising what you have done. He is a very vulnerable and lonely person, always regretting that money cannot buy the joy of life.

Andrey is simply tired of being in two forms. On the one hand, the devastated and constantly sad Danilko, and on the other hand, the cheerful, broken Verka Serduchka. Subtle meaningful music, full of lyrics, and stupid joke songs. Theater of two masks - crying and laughing. An eternal race with constant fatigue, the result of which is a heart torn in two.

National artist In Ukraine, Andrei Danilko sharply shamed the country’s well-known journalist Natalya Vlashchenko, accusing her of sycophancy.

The singer, who previously performed as famous Verka Serduchka, Vlashchenko recalled the moment when she offended him with her statement that Andrei would “before gray hair"to use your image, without showing yourself as a separate person. Danilko spoke about this during the program “Vlast vs Vlashchenko,” the episode of which was published on YouTube.

So, during the interview, Danilko noted that he and Natalya had worked together for a long time, and he had always liked her. But at the same time, one moment spoiled his impression of the journalist.

“I’ve always liked you, only once I didn’t like you. You then said: “How long will this Danilko perform in Serduchka?” Until gray hair?" But I don’t understand why you said that. It’s in demand and popular. It was said during a program with the drag queen Monroe. You probably wanted to “lick” her. As if you wanted to please her." “, Andrei said, adding that he was very hurt by this.

Natalya replied that she did not remember the incident, but felt awkward and stupid for previously allowing herself to make such statements.

“God, could I really say such crap to Monroe?” - Vlashchenko was indignant.

Danilko himself summed up that he was not offended by Vlaschenko, since similar situations happened to him quite often throughout his career, so he got used to it.

Andrey Danilko is everyone’s favorite popular artist, singer, actor, better known to us for his stage image of “Verka Serduchka”. Hard work, determination, and most importantly desire and self-confidence gave him the opportunity to escape from a provincial town and become famous not only outside his country.

The comic image that Andrey created turned out to be only a mask of the truth of the artist’s soul. What Andrei Danilko really is, what he hides behind his emotional experiences and how the artist’s life turned out, read below.

Height, weight, age. How old is Andrey Danilko

Height, weight, age. How old is Andrei Danilko and all the details of his life are dreamed of by the actor’s fans. After all, Danilko is forty-four years old, and he looks quite younger than his age. With a height of 175 cm, he weighs 69 kg, and although Andrei is not very keen on sports, his figure remains normal. Maybe because he carefully chooses products, doesn’t trust anyone and prepares food for himself personally.

The gray-eyed brown-haired man really likes the female half, and many fans, discussing the next photo, write quite eloquent comments about the artist’s data. Maybe he attracts people with his mysterious soul and girls like men like Andrei Danilko? Of course, the artist’s photos in his youth and now differ; from a young, thin guy, he turned into courageous man with wrinkles around the eyes. Only the eyes remained the same - just as sad and joyless.

Biography of Andrey Danilko

The biography of Andrei Danilko began on October 2, 1973 in a small village near Poltava. The boy grew up in a poor family, where his father, Mikhail Danilko Semenovich, worked as a driver and liked to drink, like most men in rural areas. Mother - Danilko Svetlana Ivanovna worked as a painter in three shifts in order to somehow make ends meet. And after my father’s death it became even harder. Andrei had an older sister, Galina, who was ten years older than him, but they didn’t really get along with her. Danilko did not study well at school, but since childhood he participated in amateur performances, then he was the captain of the KVN team, and each time his love for the stage arose more and more. After graduating from school, Andrei submits documents to a music school, but not being admitted, the disappointed guy goes to study to become a salesman. But the craving for creativity does not leave him, and he shows his numbers - SV shows in schools, where success and his first fans await him.

On April 1, 1990, Verka Serduchka was born - the stage image of the artist who brought him fame and popularity. In his city, he performed at one festival and did not expect that it was a sensation. Then the artist goes on tour to the cities of Ukraine, where he is gaining more and more momentum. Danilko enters the circus school, but after studying for a year and a half he was expelled for poor performance, despite the fact that Andrei had already performed in television projects and was beginning to be recognized.

Later, Andrei Danilko performs in the New Year's lights with his comic and cheerful songs and releases albums and songs that are broadcast continuously on music channels. “I was born for love”, “Pie”, “I wanted a groom” became popular hits. Concerts are held not only in many cities of Russia and Ukraine, but also in the USA, where he was received with a bang. The artist also tries himself in cinema. Everyone was waiting for such films as “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka” and “Cinderella” and watched with pleasure how Verka Serduchka laughed.

In 2007, the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Helsinki, where Verka Serduchka went from Ukraine to win. They said a lot about this choice - the melody is so primitive that you can knock with a spoon and reproduce that this is a serious competition, and not a festival of humor and satire. And although many did not believe in success, Verka Serduchka took second place, after which foreign journalists came to interview her. And Danilko himself says that he just wanted to show in this way how fun their country is and how they can have fun.

Personal life of Andrey Danilko

The personal life of Andrei Danilko has always remained in the shadows. The artist never found his chosen one at forty-four, and now he no longer has the desire to start a family. “I should have gotten married young,” shares Andrey, “And today I can’t imagine someone next to me who would violate my personal space.” It's like saying confirmed bachelor, who is already very difficult to accept a person and is next to him. Apparently it is difficult for him to let a person into his soul. After all, Danilko has a driver and a housekeeper at home, but Andrei is so principled that he only takes care of cooking himself.

The artist admits that he does not like large crowds of people, and in a company of more than three people he already feels discomfort, despite many years of performing on stage. Therefore, he avoids society, rarely gives interviews and is unlikely to be seen at any party. By nature, Danilko is a very reserved person and somewhat complex. But in order to find your other half, you need to strive for it, try, love, but the artist himself, apparently, does not know how to do this.

Family of Andrey Danilko

Mother and sister - that’s the whole family of Andrei Danilko. They do not have a very warm relationship, Andrei often loses his temper over trifles, his mother says. Perhaps Danilko still holds a grudge against his family, because initially his relatives did not believe in him, and they were even ashamed that he was a man and dressed up as a woman. They didn’t accept him until the actor became famous and managed to earn good money. Although relatives do not see each other very often, the actor provides for his relatives.

Not so long ago, Galina, my sister, bought a three-room apartment and made a European-quality renovation there; the family goes to the sea every year, naturally with the help of her brother. The actor toured different cities, but not in Poltava. He has a feeling of guilt that he got out of this village, and people continue to live in poverty. But is anyone to blame for this? Everyone has their own path and choice.

Children of Andrey Danilko

Everyone is so interested in Danilko’s fate that the editors even turned to psychic Natalya Vorotnikova for help. And of course main question, which interests the public - the family and children of Andrei Danilko.

The magician saw a purposeful person who is married to his work. “If the stage is taken away from Andrei, he will lose the meaning of life and fall into severe depression. The artist has a very changeable mood, which depends even on little things. But Danilko will have a son,” says Natalya, “From a fan. There will be no marriage, but Andrei will take care of his child.” Well, to believe or not to believe the predictions is everyone’s business, and only time will tell the truth.

Andrey Danilko's wife

Andrei Danilko’s wife is his work, stage and career. The artist is so passionate about his work that he has no time for his personal life. Or desires? More than once he was credited with an affair with his colleague, Inna Belokon, who in her stage image is a mother.

The artist recalls meeting the girl: “I didn’t like her right away, fat, terribly painted, in a long skirt,” but later the couple was seen more and more often outside of work. And recently, on his birthday, where Andrei went to England to celebrate, the paparazzi took a photo of the artist in the arms of a girl kissing him. Immediately the news “Andrei Danilko and his wife” appeared in the press. The photo was taken when Inna Belokon herself congratulated Andrei on the holiday. The artist claims that the kiss is of a friendly nature and the artist is nothing more than a friend to him. They can even move into the same room, but that means absolutely nothing. Whether this is true or not, one can only guess.
