Ivan Shapovalov defeated brain cancer. Biography Who was the producer of the tattoo

Crazy fame, bags of money, string foreign countries, luxurious parties turning into orgies, homosexuality, sex with minors, drugs, scandalous projects and stories about it to journalists in boastfully shocking interviews - now the famous producer of the Tatu group has all this in the past! Life today Ivan Shapovalov- endless drips and constant communication with people in white coats. Doctors took out a still young, 46-year-old man terrible sentence: he has three months left to live!

"God, forgive me!"

A cap on his head to hide baldness after chemotherapy, quiet speech, a haggard face, crutches and terrible thinness - that's what's left of the once daring and outrageous Vani Shapovalova.

The producer of Tatu had a huge bump on his forehead eight months ago. The doctors' diagnosis sounded scary - brain cancer!

— Vania at first he refused to be treated, says a friend of Shapovalov Leonid Dzyunik. - I was going to resort to unconventional Chinese medicine! I tried hippotherapy - therapeutic horseback riding. But relatives still persuaded him to go to the Burdenko hospital.

Shapovalov underwent a course of radiation therapy and was allowed to go home. By adding this:

“We did everything we could, but the chances are slim. Most likely, you have no more than three months left ...

news about deadly disease scandalous producer shocked the entire show business.

"God punished!" - enemies and friends repeated in horror.

— U Vani success really blew the roof off, says sadly Elena Kiper, former co-producer of Tatu and ex-lover Shapovalova. - I could not somehow influence him, although we had a close relationship. Ivan is an adult, especially a psychologist by training! What will you tell him? How can you convince? Much later, meeting with him, I said: “Listen, well, let's finish all this already!” But my words didn't change anything. And then, in the midst of the wild popularity of Tatu, I just left! She left because the bacchanalia began! I was tormented by the conscience for everything we did! And I had to go to church to be cleansed!

Elena almost every day she asked the Almighty: “Lord, forgive me!” And after all, she begged for forgiveness: now Keeper lives in harmony with herself and the world around her. And he tries his best to help his former lover in a desperate struggle with death! But Shapovalov himself is not going to repent! On the contrary, he is sure: God loves him, since he sent him such a monstrous illness as a reward!

Love... sickness

- I believe that brain cancer is my reward, not retribution! - says the creator of Tatu. - Reward for what? Well, for what ... For what is! For what was! And for sins or good deeds - it's not for me to decide! You see, everything in my life suits me. And there is no desire to change anything. I have learned to appreciate the simple human joys in life. Black bread and tea - do you know how delicious it is?! And why do I need money and fame now? I have the main thing - a piano on which I can play, bread and tea, a small house on the banks of the Volga ... Friends come to me, here are the “tatushki” girls recently: and Lena, and Julia…

It looks like during the fight against the cursed disease Shapovalov read psychology books Valeria Sinelnikova. One of them is called:

"Love your disease." In it, the author assures: as soon as a person realizes what exactly in the spiritual plan caused his illness, thinks about the purpose and meaning of his life and changes his way of thinking, getting rid of everything nasty, then recovery will begin immediately. And despite the sad prognosis of doctors, not only alive, but, according to his friends Elena Kiper and Leonid Dzyunik, feels better!

Is the former brawler and sinner really recovering? Not only in body, but also in soul...

Only one person out of ten who learned about their terrible disease may not fall into despair, but pull himself together and eventually rise to his feet. This one turned out to be Ivan Shapovalov, known to us mainly as the producer of the scandalous Tatu group.

Disappointing news

Child psychiatrist by profession, former owner of one of the Russian printed publications, head public organization, marketer and advertiser of the leading insurance companies in Moscow, and in addition, screenwriter and producer Ivan Shapovalov, in the recent 2012, found out what was in his head malignant tumor, and if urgent treatment is not started, then he will not live long. Many of his acquaintances even ahead of time "sent him to the next world" in their interviews, but not Ivan himself. He for a long time did not get in touch with the press, did not allow his friends and relatives to do the same. But, apparently, the famous producer had enough "well-wishers" who were just waiting for the right moment to merge the whole truth and untruth into the broad masses.

Here, for example, one of the managers of Enrique Iglesias, who at one time was on rather friendly terms with Shapovalov, although he sympathizes with his former friend, he sincerely believes that this is the very retribution for the sins of youth. What are the sins? Well, if you believe the rumors, then Ivan has not so few of them.

Retribution?

Just a few years ago, everyone was just talking about the sexual promiscuity and bisexual inclinations of the star. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the path by which the obvious favorite of her mentor, Yulia Volkova, got into the Tatu project, and he apparently lies through the bed. Moreover, if we compare all the dates, it turns out that producer Ivan Shapovalov seduced her at a very young age. “Yes, and what is there to hide,” Ivan himself apparently thought, and boldly declared to one of the British publishers that underage girls attracted him most of all.

Moreover, the unfortunate producer is credited with sexual relations with for the most part people who have ever worked with him. With all this, Ivan Shapovalov was married. His only legal wife, Valeria, with whom he formalized his relationship while studying at the Saratov Medical Institute, although she moved out of her husband a long time ago, did not dare to divorce. The spouses, by the way, have two children: 27-year-old Vova and 11-year-old Ivan Ivanovich. But on the side of the "family man" there is a daughter Uma, born of her mistress Olga.

Breaking all moral taboos

Ivan Shapovalov, who earned fame as a world pervert hero, whom the London newspaper The Times compared with Patrick Swayze, announced the problems of pedophilia all over Britain, but at the same time, he did not hesitate to use it as a publicity stunt in the music industry.

The same Ivan Irbis told about a poor young transvestite, who, one might say, was a double of Yulia Volkova. According to him, for some time the guy lived in an apartment rented by Shapovalov. And although the producer justified this fact with the desire to create a new, even more compromising project with the scandalous name "It", Irbis says that all this was just a matter of the sexual satisfaction of the star. Such, it turns out, is Ivan Shapovalov. "Tatu" is another confirmation of this. Only a twisted brain could freely release two kissing teenage girls onto the stage. Nobody has done this before, and therefore the scandalous group in the West was dubbed "the collapse of the last pop taboo."

The first pancake is not always lumpy

The Tatu group is Shapovalov's production debut. He began working on the project together with the composer Voitinsky back in 1999. The first member of the team was with whom several compositions were recorded at that time. A little later, Yulia Volkova appeared on the horizon, and the duet got its name. It is worth noting that Alexander Voitinsky would later refuse to cooperate with Shapovalov, as he considered the project to be devoid of moral principles.

The year 2000 was a turning point for Tatu - their song “I'm crazy” was heard from all the radios, and a video about two schoolgirls openly kissing in the pouring rain appeared on the blue screens. The music for the song, by the way, is the work of 17-year-old Sergey Galoyan. Already in early 2001, the group recorded the first studio album called "200 in the opposite direction", which in a year will become English. The song "Half an hour" is gaining particular popularity, and the "tatushki" begin to briskly tour around the world.

Fall from Heaven

In 2003, a successful producer came up with a brilliant idea: why not make an equally scandalous reality show? And already at the beginning of next year, the STS channel presented the Russians with a new "entertainment" - "Tatu" in the Celestial Empire, in which the girls were supposed to record their new album in front of the viewers. Filming took place on the 13th level of the Beijing Hotel, where Shapovalov set up a recording studio. But we did not wait for the final result - Ivan abandoned his “brainchild” and transferred the producer rights to the Tatu group to Boris Rensky.

But in 2004, the British music award BMI awarded him the Pop Awards. And all thanks to the composition All the Things She Said, which, bypassing even the legendary No Doubt team with their hit It`s My Life, became the leader in this nomination. Imagine, the song was aired over 2 million times!

At the foot of glory

After giving up tattoos and triumphing on the British charts, Shapovalov began work on a new project called Nato. Then he took himself one more ward - the group "7B". Heavy sound and depressive notes have become something new in the work of the producer.

In 2004, he took up the aspiring singer Helei, and already in 2005 he loudly announced his intention to create a new reality show. Filming was supposed to take place on one of the icebreakers, which followed the Arctic Ocean. But plans remained plans.

Well, you can’t take away the desire to work with Ivan Shapovalov, but none of the projects that he led received such success and recognition as Tatu. A group that provokes absolutely contradictory comments (they were called an international shame, then national pride Russia), became " calling card» Producer.

A fatal diagnosis, it would seem ...

But back to the news that became public knowledge in the hot summer of 2012. Brain cancer - Ivan heard such a terrible diagnosis from doctors in his direction. He himself did not want to make this information public, so everyone thought and wondered about what was happening with Ivan Shapovalov and why he did not go out in public. But his friend and colleague, soon told the press about the state of affairs of the patient. It turns out that immediately after the announcement of Ivan's diagnosis, he was placed in the intensive care unit of one of the Moscow clinics. In this, the former ward Yulia Volkova helped him in every possible way. A large number of courses of chemotherapy contributed to a significant reduction in the tumor, which, by the way, was so neglected that it even pressed on Shapovalov's eye. Ivan, who took his health into his own hands, got on his feet a year later.

Doctors' predictions: will Ivan Shapovalov have time to atone for his sins?

Ivan Shapovalov's illness, you understand, does not promise him an absolute recovery. Perhaps that is why the producer took the illness sent to him as a chance to turn the next page of his "non-angelic" life and start everything from scratch.

He practically left Moscow and settled in the town of Konakovo, in the Tver region. It was there that he found a new way to maintain vitality. Horses - that's what helps him in difficult times. And it's not just a hobby. Horses, in a way, became his life. But Ivan Shapovalov did not leave music either. Cancer did not prevent him from performing and recording his own song called "My love is walking somewhere."

Perhaps it was this attitude to his illness that allowed Ivan to remain among the living. After all, the forecasts of doctors were, to put it mildly, disappointing. None of them at first would have dared to give Shapovalov more than 3 months of life, and what a life! Constant wandering around hospitals and communicating with people in white coats - that's what should have accompanied the sinful producer throughout the rest of his life allotted to him. But it was not there! After intensive courses of radiation therapy and "chemo", endless drips and debilitating medications, the tumor began to noticeably decrease. Now, after more than two years, doctors do not notice any metastases in Ivan's body, but he looks like a completely healthy person.

Ivan Nikolaevich Shapovalov- Russian music producer, best known for his musical project "t.A.T.u."

Biography

Ivan was born on May 28, 1966 in Volgograd region(city of Kotovo). His mother, Nadezhda Richardovna, worked as a physics teacher. Dad, Nikolai Alexandrovich was an artist. Rather, thanks to the influence of his mother, Ivan went to school with a physical and mathematical bias. Chose after school medical direction, studied at the Saratov Medical Institute, specializing in psychiatry. After graduation, he worked in a children's psychiatric hospital, at the same time he led a private practice in the field of psychocorrection of children. Early married his classmate Valeria, gave birth to a son, Vladimir. Until a certain period, Ivan was an exemplary citizen, like many others, a cog in a big public system. Then the gradual transformation of an ordinary provincial doctor into something else began, sometimes not always clear to the layman.

Change of life course

In 1992, Ivan decides to change his life dramatically. He leaves medicine and establishes a PR organization called the Formation Service. public opinion"Context". During the gubernatorial elections, there was a rather high demand for the services of the company.

For the next two years, Shapovalov worked for the Slavia insurance company and the Russian Capital pension fund. In both companies, Ivan is engaged in marketing and promotions. A little later, he was transferred to work in the Moscow branches of companies. At that time, he met the composer Voitinsky.

Since 1994, Ivan has been trying himself as a screenwriter for commercials. The topic of advertising and television then generally only gained momentum.

In 1996, he made a landmark commercial for the R&K computer company. One of the founders of the company later acted as a sponsor and co-producer of Tatu. Another commercial gave an acquaintance with the girl Lena Katina, who voiced the clip. A little later, on the set, Ivan collaborates with NTV journalist Elena Kiper, who became a full-fledged co-producer of the project. The pieces of the puzzle fit together.

Project «t.A.T.u.»

The first casting for the role of the soloist was won by Lena Katina. It was 1999 year. Voitinsky records two songs with Lena: "I am your enemy" and "Yugoslavia". The composer and producer got the feeling that one singer would not be enough and a second girl, Yulia Volkova, was added to the group.

In 2001, hard work together finally gives tangible result- the album "200 in the opposite direction" is released. In May of the same year, Shapovalov signed a contract with the famous label "Universal Music". The contract was not as simple as it might seem: he obliged Ivan to release three albums without fail and forbade him to change the composition of the group.

The group is gaining popularity. In 2002/2003, a lot of concerts are planned, an English version of the first album is released, a world tour is launched.

In 2004, within the framework of the same advertising campaign, the show "Tattoo in the Middle Kingdom" was launched on the STS TV channel. The office was filmed, all the demo versions of the songs of the new album were accepted, but the show was never launched. Ivan Shapovalov resigned as a producer and actually gave the brand to Tatu. In October 2004, Ivan Shapovalov received a medal for the composition "All the things she said", of which he was a co-author. The song has been played over 2 million times.

New projects

After the success of Tatu, Ivan wanted to do something equally explosive and grandiose. He takes on several projects, but these projects, for various reasons, could not be implemented. This is the singer Nato in 2004, the rock group "7B", the singer Helya and Nano-project.

There was even an idea to shoot a reality show on an icebreaker during a trip to the North Pole.

Disease

Completely unexpected for Ivan in 2012 was the realization that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer. At first, he categorically refused to believe that something could be wrong with him, he tried to be treated by shamans and psychics. Help was provided by his former ward, Yulia Volkova. She convinced Ivan to undergo diagnostics in a modern medical center and even brought him herself. A course of chemotherapy was prescribed and a survival period of two months was indicated. Friends, doctors, and especially the media buried Ivan together. Only the closest friends and family remained. They announced a fundraiser for treatment and, in fact, snatched Shapovalov from the hands of death.

On the this moment Ivan lives and works in China. He returned to show business, though not as a producer, but as a singer. Recording his new album.

Composer Alexander Voitinsky slept with both duet soloists

It all started when I was 17 years old - Mr. Galoyan . - I played guitar in an alternative band" Noyes". And at the same time he wrote music at home on an old 486 computer. Then he began to offer his material to various studios, including the studio Vladimir Osinsky. At the same time, the producer came there " Tattoo" Ivan Shapovalov, who tried to push his group somewhere. They had two songs Alexander Voitinsky "Why me?" and "Count to a Hundred" in the original, no one desired option. Osinsky gave Shapovalov my material, and he made an appointment for me. Seeing a pimply boy in front of him, Shapovalov arrogantly gave me the original text of the song " I've lost my mind", from which now only the chorus remains, and with pathos said:" Boy! Mow me, please, under Britney Spears". I didn't like that you need to mow for someone. But I made two versions of the arrangement of "I'm crazy." In principle, we discussed prices. I was hoping to get $ 1200 for each song (I wrote a total of Since it was impossible to work on my equipment, in the summer they bought me a computer for $ 1200. And, apparently, they decided that I didn’t need to pay anything else. In addition, I made a bunch of arrangements, for which I also didn’t receive anything. My name not even listed on the album cover.

Shapovalov demanded that he be my co-author. Allegedly, if his last name is next to mine, it will help me in the future as a composer. I actually made Vanya a career. By the way, the composer Alexander Voitinsky eventually also refused to work with Shapovalov. He is an older man and said that he did not want to write songs for lesbians. At first, there was no lesbianism in Tatu. At first, there was only one soloist in general - Lena Katina. Then they added to it Yulia Volkova. Voitinsky slept with both of them. And when they came up with this lesbian chip, he thought it was too much. The last straw for him was the fact that Shapovalov stole a piece of music from him and inserted it into the song "I'm crazy."

%photo.right%

When I wrote the song gay boy", Shapovalov again gave me a contract, according to which he was listed as a co-author. Out of desperation, I signed it and said: " Vania! Someday we'll take you to court". Shapovalov just laughed in response. After that, I didn’t call him up and didn’t see him anymore. It was February 2001. Soon my business went uphill. I found female singers to create my own group. I found a person from the company " Techbunker"Under the President of Russia, who agreed to finance my project. We signed a contract for $ 150,000. Of this money, I was supposed to receive 10 percent as a producer of the project and $ 1,500 for each of my songs. And at that moment the Tatu album was released. The person who was going to finance me immediately shoved the cover of their album in my face: " Seryozha! It says here that you are some kind of Armenian bandit and almost a terrorist. Therefore, we will not give you money. Maybe all this is not true, but, sorry, we value our reputation". I was handed a letter of official termination of the contract. After that, I fell into a depression. And in the NAAP authoring agency they simply told me : "That's it! You are no longer the author of the songs" Tatu "! Apparently they didn't want problems with the record company" Universal", which releases Tatu. I realized that with the inscription on the cover of the album, Shapovalov took revenge on me for my revealing performance on the channel STS in a programme " Show Business", where I told about all his machinations. In general, my world was broken. And then a lawyer appeared on the horizon Vyacheslav Shebitsky. He undertook to help me for 50 percent of the money won. We wrote a lawsuit against Shapovalov's production company " Unformatted", and also on " Universal Music"and to the company" Music Trade which distributes discs and cassettes of Tatu. Co-producer of Tatu Lena Kiper started to scare us. "When I worked for NTV, I ruined the largest tobacco company. You will also lose the court." My lawyer had to cunningly prove that Tatu discs and cassettes are sold in large numbers. In particular, he went to the Music Trade and entered into a fictitious contract with them for the supply of 60,000 units of audio products.

As a result, the judge agreed that the information published on the cover of the album without my consent is defamatory, and satisfied almost all the points of the claim. The only thing is that we demanded 500,000 rubles for moral damages, and she awarded only 20,000.

- We do not intend to stop there, - the lawyer of Mr. Galoyan shared his plans Vyacheslav Schebitsky. - Contrary to the law, the guys were given too lenient punishment. Now we are filing a cassation appeal against the decision of the court of first instance with the Moscow City Court. And after its revision, we will already file a copyright lawsuit.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be impossible to find out what Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov thinks about all this. Employees of his office reported that he had been on a business trip to the United States for several months. Instead, the co-producer of the project Elena KIPER undertook to comment on the situation.

The boy's stories about how he was bred and thrown are very similar to the truth, - she cynically admitted. - In principle, in show business this is often done. But not in this case. Ivan Shapovalov has too big ambitions. They can be realized only on the condition of an impeccable reputation. All work was paid in full. Shapovalov took a chance and entrusted the boy to write songs for the project, for which a lot of money was borrowed. Provided him with conditions for work, providing a computer and a small home studio. At the same time, Galoyan only made sketches of songs. They were very dirty, with bad sound. Yes, and the creativity of the songs - melodies, harmonies - was originally given to him by Ivan. Therefore, he is quite legitimately a co-author. Finally, Galoyan himself voluntarily signed agreements with him on the transfer of exclusive rights to songs. Of course, there was no talk of a reward of $1200. Galoyan was paid the way all arrangers without a name are paid, and very well. He and his lawyer have already thoroughly tarnished their reputation by bringing some kind of fake contract, which the court declared invalid. They want to achieve a ban on Tatu concerts, and then try to catch us in violation and demand a fine. Well, we'll be like in the movie" bandits", unauthorized performances on rooftops or right on the street. It's even funny ...

In history Russian show business There are many producers who have become famous for their projects. Almost every inhabitant of the country knew the name of Ivan Shapovalov at one time. But few people know how he created the most scandalous group and what happened in his personal life after its collapse.

Biography of Ivan Shapovalov

Born May 28, 1966 in the family of an artist and physics teacher. A small psychiatric hospital in the city of Balakovo could become his permanent place of work. After school, Ivan graduated from a physical and mathematical school in absentia, but decided to continue his studies at the Saratov Medical Institute. For two years he regularly worked in his specialty and helped children overcome ailments with the help of psycho-correctional practice. In 1992 he created the public opinion formation service "Context".

It was then that Ivan Shapovalov realized that he had every chance of becoming a successful advertising agent. For the next two years he worked in the marketing department of the Slavia company, and since 1994 he began writing scripts for commercials. Several successful campaigns brought him not only initial capital, but also useful contacts. In 1998, while doing advertising for the OST company, he notices Lena Katina. A bright and vociferous girl attracted his attention, but Ivan remembered her after meeting Elena Kiper. Shapovalov decides to promote new star and collects musical material.

Failure

Lena Katina passed the casting and began to record songs. But the project did not take off. The reason for the failure was the poor selection of material. The song "Yugoslavia", although it was relevant, but performed by a 14-year-old girl sounded a little strange. Ivan abandoned the original idea and decided to make a band. Failure did not stop him - he understood in which direction to move on.

t.A.T.u.

Yulia Volkova became the second soloist. Together with Lena, they sang in the Fidget group. Taught by bitter experience, he already knows that popularity can only be achieved by causing a resonance. He bets on two schoolgirls who are in love with each other. Elena Kiper writes the text of the legendary song "I'm crazy", and Sergey Galoyan composed the music for it. At that time, the young composer was only 17 years old. The song quickly became popular, but a video was ahead of the country. Ivan knew exactly where the line between vulgarity and reasonable eroticism was. There are no explicit scenes in the clip - just a rather innocent kiss between two girls.

Success

After the video hit the television, the name of Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov was discussed by everyone. Colleagues congratulated him on his resounding success, and ordinary people accused him of distributing child pornography and almost pedophilia. But the producer was no longer up to idle gossip - his brainchild required development. At this time, he signed a contract with Universal Music, following which he was to release three albums. He wasn't going to give up on the idea of ​​presenting girls as underage lesbians. The next song "They Won't Catch Us" made the group popular far beyond the borders of Russia.

Foreign countries will help us

Ivan quickly figured out what income the popularity of schoolgirls abroad could turn into. The song "I'm crazy" was performed on English language and instantly took a leading position in most European charts. Before that, there were no stars in Russia that had such a wild success in the West. Foreign tours made rich both the producer and the girls. But if in Russia young lesbians have become a symbol of free love, then Europe perceived their work from a different angle. High-quality texts and dynamic music were much more interesting than the subtext embedded by Ivan Shapovalov.

Breakthrough

The big surprise for the producer was the overwhelming success of his project in China. Girls in school uniform became not only popular - they had fan clubs numbering several million people. Tours in the Middle Kingdom have become the most profitable and longest in the history of the group. Lena and Katya were literally exhausted by their busy schedule. For three years they traveled all over the world and felt like real celebrities.

East is a delicate matter

The photo of Ivan Shapovalov did not leave the pages of magazines and newspapers. He did not get tired of provoking and shocking society. His idea to shoot a clip on Red Square caused a big stir. Of course, he was quickly banned from engaging in such a provocation, but he achieved the desired effect. Having conquered China, he directed his gaze to Japan. Manga fans simply had to fall in love with the "tattoo". The girls were greeted by a large crowd of fans. But a day later, Japan has already changed its attitude towards young lesbians.

The girls came to television to talk about themselves and their work. During the interview, they did not like the host's question, and defiantly left the studio. The Japanese did not forgive such behavior to the stars. The halls at the concerts were half filled, and Ivan Shapovalov's impudent behavior completely put an end to all hopes. He behaved defiantly with advertisers, and the requirements for concert organizers were simply unrealistic.

Year of triumph

No sooner had the country digested Shapovalov's statement that the Tatushkas would run for president than it was time to think about Eurovision. This is not only a prestigious competition, but also a big step in the career of any performer. 2003 was a very successful year for the group - all of Europe sang their songs. Sending girls to the competition, no one doubted that they would win. Therefore, Ivan Shapovalov did not particularly strain. A strange song, and even in Russian, was a pure formality. But Europe did not appreciate the composition and its weak performance. Until that moment, the girls had never sung live, and they were just too lazy to rehearse. A big name was supposed to ensure victory. Third place and the highest scores only from neighbors returned Shapovalov to earth from heaven - no one is interested in singers with an incomprehensible repertoire and poor performance.

Celestial

In 2004, the group's popularity was rapidly declining. A creative producer decides to launch a reality show at the Beijing Hotel. In front of the audience, the girls will record a new album. However, already the first episodes showed that the mood in the team is not the best. Yulia broke her voice and could not sing, but in fact, in almost all the songs she had to scream. She flatly refuses to continue working and demonstrates the doctor's report.

Along the way, the girls talk a lot about their lives, destroying the carefully crafted legend of Ivan Shapovalov. The last episodes were already on the verge of a foul - Yulia reports on abortions and romances with men, the producer is looking for new stars. This was the end of the collaboration. After such revelations, you should no longer count on the loyalty of the audience. At one moment popular group becomes history. It is noteworthy that Ivan Shapovalov himself did not talk about his personal life.

New projects

After the termination of the contract with Yulia and Lena, the famous producer is looking for a new idea. It was 2004. The world still remembered the fall of the towers in New York, and Russia itself did not have time to heal the wounds after the terrorist attacks. At this very time, Ivan brings to the stage new singer Nato. Her stage image causes indignation - the shahid woman's outfit does not cause a desire to buy a ticket for her performance. strong voice and good songs don't help. The project is failing. No one is waiting for Shapovalov abroad - there such an image only causes rejection.

The following projects were not much more successful - now no one will remember such pseudonyms as Helya and Nano Project. New idea filming a reality show on an icebreaker remains unrealized. In 2007-2012, Shapovalov's name practically does not appear in the press. No one knows what this talented person is doing.

Disease

Only thanks to Yulia Volkova the country learned about the terrible diagnosis of the producer. The tumor in the brain grew while Ivan himself sat at home and did not take any action. The girl, having learned about the illness of the former producer, arrived and forcibly took him to the hospital. Fortunately, time was not lost, and the doctors began treatment. Chemotherapy courses had a positive effect, and now Ivan Shapovalov is completely healthy. Many took the producer's diagnosis as a punishment for his sins. He used too many provocative tricks to achieve his goals.

Almost from the first day until the breakup of the t.A.T.u. he was accused of promoting same-sex love, and of terrorism, and even of pedophilia. Other producers believe that Ivan Shapovalov himself prevented the group from reaching the top and earning hundreds of millions of dollars. Where would the girls be now if he didn't deliberately create scandals around them? The star-studded producer did not want to make concessions and behaved like the king of the world. That is why they refused to work with him. large companies with a worldwide reputation.

A family

The producer has never advertised his personal life. He has a wife, Valeria, and two sons. The youngest is also called Ivan. The wife works as a pediatrician in a clinic for children. Shapovalov does not like to talk about the disease, but the main reason for his refusal of treatment was money. The producer simply did not have the funds for expensive procedures. Where did it go multi-million dollar fortune for 10 years? A benefit concert and fundraiser helped him pay for his treatment. If Yulia Volkova, who herself had overcome a tumor in her throat, had not begun to ring all the bells, then it is not known how this business would have ended. The wife says in an interview that she cried all night long, but could not do anything. The support of friends and family helped put Ivan on his feet.
