The members of the famous pop group told why their colleague Igor Sorin left the first line-up of the band.
Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov directly stated that their comrade had encountered “star fever.”
The singer spoke about this topic on the air of the “Legend” program on RTVI .
In the second half of the 1990s, three young artists from the group "Ivanushki International" gained all-Russian fame.
Grigoriev-Appolonov, Kirill Andreev and Igor Sorin reacted differently to gaining the status of pop stars.
Colleagues recalled that Sorin had developed “star fever”.
“I went crazy, I started thinking: that’s it, I’m a star, I’m a god, I don’t want to sing other people’s songs and all that stuff,” said Grigoriev-Appolonov.
Because of this, the artists' creative paths diverged.
The members of Ivanushki recalled that Sorin “was tired of singing the same thing” and wanted to go on stage with his own songs.
The singer left the group in the spring of 1998, and in September of the same year a tragedy occurred: the 28-year-old artist fell from a balcony and died.
Sorin was replaced in Ivanushki by Oleg Yakovlev, who is also no longer alive. The singer fell ill and died in 2017.
