On January 31, at 1:00 p.m., the telegram channels burst with tragic news: Igor Nikolaev entered intensive care. Supposedly, the 63-year-old composer and singer has a suspicion of a heart attack (almost already confirmed). It was as if he was hospitalized in one of the Moscow clinics and was under the supervision of doctors.
KP.RU decided to verify the information and immediately called Igor. His phone answered for a while, however, the artist did not answer the phone (later the phone stopped responding). The ex-wives, Natasha Koroleva and Elena Nikolaeva, did not answer either, the current wife, Yulia Proskuryakova, did not answer the phone. The composer’s assistant, Yulia, read the messages from KP.RU, but she did not answer the phone calls: she only professionally ended the calls.
Everything seemed to hint at the anxiety of the situation. But suddenly the director of Natasha Koroleva, Marina Narinskaya, responded.
“I don’t know anything about this,” said the singer’s representative, who surely would have been aware of the emergency situation with a person close to the Queen. “I haven’t heard of that.”
What happened to Igor Nikolaev: latest news for January 31, 2023
A little later, a replica of Nikolaev himself appeared. He was contacted by the 360 TV channel (the artist’s assistant often gave comments to this channel). He responded to a question about his health in the style of Mark Twain, who wrote in the NY Times that rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated.
“I feel great,” said Igor. – And as for the news – then you, the media, create it yourselves.
To be honest, such a comment does not refute hospitalization. You can feel great and lying in the hospital. There is no smoke without fire. Either Igor quickly came to his senses, or the suspicion of a heart attack was not confirmed (as it happens), or he is conscious, but under the supervision of doctors, as the Telegram channel wrote, which has close connections in Moscow hospitals. Or the comment was given by the vocalist’s PR, deciding that this would quickly calm the public and prevent the “threat”.
Nikolaev’s phone is currently on the answering machine. KP.RU continues to monitor the situation.
