The death of a famous Russian singer and composer has been announced.
Vyacheslav Dobrynin died at the age of 79 in Moscow.
The artist's concert director Sergei Karpov confirmed this information in a conversation with TASS journalists.
The exact cause is not stated, but the director suggested that Dobrynin's life was taken by a stroke. According to him, it was already the third stroke.
Vyacheslav Dobrynin was born in 1946, graduated from the October Revolution Music College and the history department of Moscow State University.
At first, the performer was a guitarist, but in the 80s of the last century he began performing solo.
In 1972, he officially changed his mother's surname Antonov to the surname of distant relatives Dobrynin, so as not to be confused with the then rising pop star Yuri Antonov.
In 1996, the singer was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia. His contribution to the development of Russian culture cannot be overestimated.
Many of the songs are still hits, such as "Don't Rub Salt in My Wound," "Everything I Have," and "Raspberry Berry."
