He admitted that he finished his work and went to the clinic to get an x-ray. Later, doctors told the artist that “part of the metatarsal bone was broken.” He was advised to take painkillers and “lay down and stay still” wearing a leg brace for six weeks.
“I told him [врачу] I ask if you can replace the pills with alcohol and he says you can. Can I go on stage? “He says it’s impossible, we shouldn’t disturb our legs,” complained the musician
However, Gorbashov stated that he still played the concert while sitting on a bar stool. The event took place on February 17 at the Moscow club “1930”.
