Singer Grigory Leps arrived in St. Petersburg the day before to give a concert at the Ice Palace in honor of the anniversary he celebrated in July. Both the performance itself, and later the street fight in which the musician was involved, caused a public reaction and was widely discussed on social networks.
what happened at the concert
as he wrote fontanka, the concert started quite traditionally and nothing seemed strange to the audience. At one point, another fan approached the stage to give Leps a bouquet. When he turned around to take a picture with him, the musician suddenly exploded: “Why are you taking pictures, no one will believe you are friends with me anyway. Where are you going to hang this photo in the toilet?”
The singer later criticized another fan who tried to approach the stage without waiting for the final chords.
Announcing the song “I’m going to live in London”, Leps introduced the song as follows: “It’s a song about a city we already live in. [не] They’ll let you in unless we win.”
According to the audience’s reviews and comments, the musician also cursed repeatedly from the stage. And at the end of the concert, without finishing the song, he stood in the middle, shook his head, threw the microphone onto the stage and left.
After a while, a comment allegedly appeared on behalf of the artist on the Telegram channel: “Yesterday was not an easy concert. Everything didn’t go as planned, a lot of things didn’t go well, I got sick… But you were amazing! Thank you very much to everyone and everyone for such an incredibly warm welcome, for their support, for the whole audience to sing in harmony … This is incredibly expensive and really worthwhile.
what happened at the bar
After the concert in Ledovoy, the singer decided to rest in the Finnegans bar on Moskovsky Prospekt 192. Here she had an argument with one of the visitors of the facility, after which Leps, his guards and his “rival” went out into the street.
Fontanka posted a video of the event. The footage shows how the guards stand between the singer and another man, but in the end one of them still strikes the first blow. Leps then attacks the man. According to the St. Petersburg edition, the police are “already aware” of what is happening.
A little later, 78 TV channels broadcast a recording from security cameras in a bar. As the message suggests, the cause of the conflict was obsessive behavior and a request by one of the fans to be photographed together.
What the fans say
The director of the musician Vladimir Uryupin said star shotHe said that the 60-year-old artist did not feel well on the day of the concert.
“A man got sick, it was extreme. I worked for two hours and twenty minutes, I was able to do it. But the last song has already disappointed me, of course. People are happy. The artist got a little sick. We are being treated,” he said, describing the singer’s behavior.
Fans left hundreds of enthusiastic comments about the last concert, about the release of Leps on Telegram.
“In any case, two hours flew by in one breath! Full of pleasure! We are all human, we all get sick!” — wrote a fan Lyudmila Dericheva.
“And someone tried to give a concert in a “sick” state ?! Yes, even with these eternal “walkers” between the rows! And those photographed “in the background” are usually tin! I understand the maestro’s situation very well !!!!! Everything on your way, dear Grigory Viktorovich, ”Maria Spiridonova concluded.
“Is it disrespectful to the artist to give flowers in the middle of the song, where did security look? Why are you putting flowers on the stage at your feet? I thought you’d say something about it (like “dear, I’m still alive, don’t get up”). But it was clear that she had no strength, ”says Nina Pyanzina, defending the artist in the comments.
“I’m glad! Now many find fault with Leps for London, where *** (with difficulty. – socialbites.ca) will be allowed in, here he is absolutely right, only Turgenev does not need to act like a young lady and faint. The word “***” was sarcastic, humorous, ”concludes one Daria fan.
The comments to the news article about the latest concert posted on the Fontanka website are far less flattering, but many also defend the singer.
“Hmm… Being rude to the audience feeding him anyway… What do you expect from someone who drinks that much?” – Says the message of Pilat user.
“Hmm, tickets are not cheap (and even if it is 1 ruble). People mostly bought it for themselves (while making money). Do you mean sick? Then cancel. Bydlyachistvo 100%. If you feel bad, apologize and act like a human being. Tone and manners (absence) are not better, ”writes Elena Linibi.
“The singer who sang the hit” Natalie “in the distant past. A quiet 60-year-old old man remained behind. And 25,000 rubles for this “howl”, the user comments on the note 274586217.
“I was at a concert. And yes, no one took me there, he came for his hard-earned money. The atmosphere is great! Leps is a great artist. A few mops were not embarrassed. We did not sit in the opera))) In the first songs, it seemed to me, there was something about the sound, then everything was fixed, ”says the Supermaster.
