Yesterday, the grand opening of the Russian Radio karaoke was held at the BIRDS by Vasilchuki restaurant and club. It was attended by Philip Kirkorov, Lyubov Uspenskaya, singer Slava, Irina Nelson, Irina Dubtsova, Denis Klyaver, Hannah and many other stars. According to tradition, the artists were first taken to the press wall, where they were photographed and interviewed, and then entered the hall.
Reflex’s soloist Irina Nelson was accompanied by her husband, producer and author of almost all of the group’s hits, Vyacheslav Tyurin. And then something strange happened at the press conference… On some public pages they wrote that Vyacheslav was indignant and said that he was not recognized. However, Tyurin himself explained to KP.RU that he was indignant for a completely different reason: his wife Irina Nelson was not given due attention as an artist.
“The husband did not speak about himself, but about Irina Nelson, and he said everything correctly. What happened in today’s interview is shameful ageism. Humiliation based on age. When Irina came out for the press conference, some TV channels in the press box deliberately turned off their cameras. It’s a shame to treat artists who made your time in this way. Each of you knows such hits as “Music is louder, eyes are closed”, “Go crazy” and “The first time”. Don’t be fake! You just have to respect any singer who has been on top for 25 years. This year Reflex received its sixth “Golden Gramophone”, and in the summer the group topped the charts with a duet “UFO” and a composition based on our song “Dancing”. And everyone knows it too,” Vyacheslav Tiurin told KP.RU.

However, Irina should be given her due: everyone would look like this at 52. It seems that the artist has not changed at all. Meanwhile, the group Reflex is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Meanwhile, a controversy over the situation erupted on the TG channel of a well-known publication. Some supported Vyacheslav, while others saw nothing wrong with this story.
“Sometimes it is sad to see how something that nobody needs somehow tries to get somewhere else. Well, it’s all over now, where to go? It happened yesterday, but it won’t happen tomorrow,” wrote one Alexey.
To which Vyacheslav was quick to reply: “At least look on the Internet. Check out the Reflex tour schedule. Knowledgeable. What’s new? This is just something old and forgotten. Everything stagnates, and everything progresses again.”
