It can be treated differently, but it cannot be denied that Kirkorov achieved a lot on the domestic stage and went through all the evolutions of a modern artist. There are undoubted advantages in such popularity - impressive earnings, travel around the world and the love of the public. But there are also disadvantages - the biography of Philip Kirkorov is full of moments of negativity and loss. What is he really - controversial and bright Philip? What is the secret of its popularity over the years?

We will try to highlight the most piquant moments from his biography and discuss them from the point of view of facts. After all, there is something to tell about Philip besides his family life with the Prima Donna of the Russian stage.

Childhood and adolescence

In 1967, a bright and unique artist of Russia was born, who at the same time remains a true Bulgarian. His homeland - the Bulgarian city of Varna - impresses with beauty and authenticity. It is not surprising that this creative person was born here. In addition, since childhood, he was surrounded exclusively by people of art. For example, the boy's father is Bedros Key. Rkoryan, born in 1932, was a popular Bulgarian singer. However, he is Armenian by nationality. The boy's mother, Victoria Markovna, grew up in a family of circus performers.

First appearance on stage

The main tragedy in Philip's life is connected with the family: at the age of 57, Philip's mother died of cancer. The musician mentioned this more than once in his numerous interviews.

In his early childhood parents were the main support and source of adventure. Philip Kirkorov has been on tour since the age of five. His biography in stage terms started just at the age of five, when the boy went on stage in Petrozavodsk. His father gave a concert there and performed an autobiographical composition called "Son". This song "illustrated" the meeting of Bedros with tankers Soviet army in 1944.

When the composition ended, a baby with carnations got on the stage. The singer introduced his son to the audience and the first applause was heard, which Philip Kirkorov heard in his address. Biography, nationality and good academic success would have provided the boy with a good start on stage in his native Bulgaria, but Philip's family moved to permanent residence in Moscow, where he went to school.

Initially, it was obvious that Kirkorov was not interested in physics and mathematics: he studied diligently, but without enthusiasm, because he understood that obtaining a certificate was necessary. Still, as a little Kirkorov, he wanted to become an artist, and therefore he studied playing the piano and guitar.

student body

After school, the guy decided to enter GITIS at the department of musical comedy, but he was not accepted. Then the decision fell on the Gnessin School. The guy graduated from high school with honors. While still a student, Kirkorov had a chance to participate in the program "Wider Circle" on television, where he sang a song in Bulgarian. So for the first time Philip Kirkorov "lit up" in Moscow. Biography a year later new round, and the young man was invited to the shooting of "Blue Light".

After such a "step" he was called to the music hall to work, and almost immediately had to go on a foreign tour of Germany. And then a significant acquaintance with the songwriter Ilya Reznik took place. It was Reznik who introduced Kirkorov to Alla Pugacheva in April 1988. By this time, the guy had a red diploma of higher musical education.

He also managed to travel around Mongolia, where he gave free concerts to the Soviet military. In addition, he performed at a competition for young performers in Yalta and went through the shooting of the first video for the song "Carmen".

Becoming an artist

Further, the biography of Philip Kirkorov impresses with an abundance of happy acquaintances. At the "Christmas meetings", where he was invited by Pugacheva, he got along with the songwriter Leonid Derbenev. Very soon after they met, Derbenev will give Philip the hits “Atlantis”, “Heaven and Earth”, “You, You, You”, “Day and Night”.

And in 1989, the guy will tour Australia and Germany in company with the Prima Donna herself. In the same year, the first solo concert was held in Perm and it happened to get into the final of the Song of the Year festival.

Already by 1990, Kirkorov actively began an independent concert activity, without the help of the Alla Pugacheva Theater. In the same year, the Schlager-90 competition was held, at which Philip took the Grand Prix.

Awards

Two years later, the artist presented two show programs at the same time, and Atlantis was recognized as the best show of the year, as was the video for the song of the same name. Solo tours took place in Israel, the USA, Germany and Canada.

The biography of Philip Kirkorov went up sharply in 1993, when he received the Ovation and Golden Orpheus awards. A tour of Australia was also successful. A year later, the paths of Kirkorov and Pugacheva again converged in Atlantic City. After that, they almost did not part. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the Diva, Kirkorov took the position of the pop king of the Russian stage and has firmly held it for more than a quarter of a century..

euro look

Biography of Philip Kirkorov remembers another significant year- 1995, when he represented Russia at music competition"Eurovision". Success, however, did not please, and the foreign audience did not appreciate the king of pop. As a result - 17th place.

Perhaps then Kirkorov received good lesson, because he began to produce young performers from the CIS countries participating in competitions of this type. His protégé was Anzhelika Agurbash, who in 2005 represented the Republic of Belarus. But then she took only 13th place. Two years later, Philip sent Dmitry Koldun to the competition. The performer also represented Belarus and the result was already better - the sixth position.

The most successful was the performance of the representative of Ukraine - Ani Lorak, who took second place in 2008. For such success in producing activities, President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko awarded Kirkorov the title of People's Artist of Ukraine. It turned out to repeat the success in 2016, when Philip wrote a song for Sergey Lazarev. The result was also second place.

Life in the field of cinema

Develop only in music for real creative person got bored. Therefore, a biography of such a star as Philip Kirkorov is so interesting. The year of his birth in the cinema took place in 2000, when the shooting took place in the serial television series "Beauty Salon".

Then there were works in the series "Women's Happiness", "My Fair Nanny". Not spared Kirkorov and filming in the newsreel "Yeralash". And then it was time for New Year's musicals. Not a single one could do without Philip, and always his roles were bright and center. In the asset of the artist postponed:

  • "Red Riding Hood".
  • "New Year's Matchmakers".
  • "Golden Key".
  • "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors".
  • "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka".

By the way, in the latter, Philip received the role of the devil, and was later awarded at the Kinotavr-2002 festival for the best male role.

But it was modern cinema that connected Kirkorov with the role of St. Valentine in the Love in the City trilogy..

About personal

For women whose dream is Philip Kirkorov, his personal biography will seem unnecessarily modest. His first relationship began in 1988 with graceful dancer Maria Shatlanova. The girl was then 17 years old, and she actively starred in the singer's videos. There were rumors about an imminent wedding, but instead the relationship fizzled out.

And in 1994, Kirkorov took the most serious step and made an offer to Alla Pugacheva. He sought the favor of the chosen one for a very long time, but he did not retreat from his own. Philip himself later admitted that he fell in love with this woman while still a child. Of course, you can’t refuse the guy’s determination! In March of the same year, registration took place in St. Petersburg. And two months later, the couple also got married in Jerusalem. For the public, it was a shock, because the bride was 18 years older than the groom.

The marriage lasted 11 years and Alla got married again, but her chosen one was even younger - showman Maxim Galkin. But Philip is still alone. In an interview, he repeatedly said that Alla was and remains one of the most important women in his life. He does not hide the fact that he no longer plans to marry. With his ex-wife, he maintains a warm and sincere relationship, trying to take an active part in her life.

Alone with myself

But few people know what Philip Kirkorov really is. The biography, personal life and interests of the pop king still remain behind a veil of secrecy. It turned out that he had long dreamed of a family and, having parted with the woman of his dreams, he decided to resort to the help of a surrogate mother.

His repertoire has become more adult, lyrical, often sad. Philip himself says that he lives by his songs, and they convey his mood. Sometimes he compares himself to troubadours and says that modern performers sing little about true heartbreaking love.

Philip is condescending about his age and 50-year milestone. He understands that with age it is necessary to change the direction of the texts and the style of performance. So far, Kirkorov's work is coming out quite harmoniously.

Philip and his family

The biography of Philip Kirkorov and his children is of interest to fans, but today the artist's family life seems surprisingly quiet and calm. He is a kind father who loves his children and brings them up in luxury. He always generously presents the nannies of his kids, loves to give gifts.

Philip named his daughter in honor of the two most beloved women - mother and ex-wife. He invited Pugachev to become a godmother. But nothing is known about the mother of Kirkorov's children. He dropped a rumor that the surrogate mother was an American. But the journalists made their assumption, based on the statement of Alla-Victoria, that "papa Philip and mother Natasha" helped her in creating children's crafts.

After such information, Kirkorov was forced to confirm that the mother of the children spends a lot of time with them. Under the name "Natasha" may be hiding a well-known business lady in the capital, Natalya Efremova, with whom Philip became friends against the backdrop of a common love of shopping. True, the singer reported that Efremova was the godmother of his children, and not their real mother. He does not say anything about their own mother, except that he considers his family complete for Alla Victoria and Martin.

Joint performances

F. Kirkorov has more than 150 duets, trios and other joint performances with various performers in his repertoire. More than 36 of them were published on some of the artist's albums and DVDs with his solo concerts. The most famous of them to the public are with M. Rasputina, A. Netrebko, A. Pugacheva, A. Stotskaya, S. Rouvas. Most of Kirkorov's joint songs have not been published. Many of them exist only in "live" sound, not recorded in the studio.

The first duet of F. Kirkorov was the song "Alyosha", performed with his father, singer Bedros Kirkorov in the program "Sing, friends!" 1985. On May 17, 2000, at a solo concert in Kyiv, Kirkorov first performed 2 duets with Dana International. In 2000, a duet with Lou Bega held a joint concert "Mambo in the style of Hit-FM".

In 2004, Kirkorov published a special album "Duets", where he selected 21 joint compositions. Five duets of Kirkorov received various Russian awards. Duets with M. Rasputina and A. Netrebko were recognized [by whom?] as the best duets of the year in 2003 and 2011, respectively.
Eurovision

F. Kirkorov is called "Mister Eurovision". He participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995 as a representative of Russia, placing 17th. After that, he decided to become a producer and composer of songs for Eurovision participants from other CIS countries. The first experience as a producer was not very successful: the singer Anzhelika Agurbash at Eurovision 2005 took only 13th place in the semi-finals. At the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, Kirkorov wrote a song for D. Koldun, who represented Belarus, and was preparing his performance at the contest. The sorcerer for the first time in the history of Belarus' participation in the competition went to the final of the competition and took 6th place.

In 2008, Kirkorov wrote the song "Shady Lady" for the representative of Ukraine Ani Lorak, which eventually took 2nd place. After that, on May 30, 2008, President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko awarded Kirkorov the title of People's Artist of Ukraine "for significant personal contribution in the development of cultural and artistic ties of Ukraine and Russian Federation, high performing skills and many years of fruitful creative activity.

In 2009, Kirkorov was considered as one of the candidates for the role of the host of the Eurovision Song Contest, which eventually became Andrey Malakhov. Kirkorov headed the professional Russian jury of the competition, but a day before the final, the artist announced his withdrawal from the jury. The singer thus tried to prevent possible accusations of bias. “I take too active part in the life of the competition, and I have many years of friendly relations with some of the contestants,” the singer said.

Scandals
Insulting journalist Irina Aroyan
Main article: Scandal Kirkorov - Aroyan

On May 20, 2004, at a press conference in Rostov-on-Don, shortly after a question from Gazeta Dona journalist Irina Aroyan, “What is the reason for such a large number of remakes in your repertoire?”, the singer insulted the journalist using obscene words. Aroyan filed a lawsuit, which found the singer guilty under Part 2 of Article 130 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (insult in a public place) and sentenced Kirkorov to pay a fine of 60 thousand rubles.
Attack on Marina Yablokova

On December 6, 2010, between Philip Kirkorov and the assistant to the chief director of the Golden Gramophone ceremony, Marina Yablokova, there was a verbal skirmish, after which the singer slapped Yablokova in the face, pulled her hair and kicked her. Yablokova filed an application with the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department to initiate a criminal case under the articles “insult” (part 1 of article 130) and “infliction of light bodily harm” (part 1 of article 115).

F. Kirkorov: “The reaction of some media is an absolute and deliberate lie. I didn’t kick her or make her disabled.” Anna Netrebko, who was present at the rehearsal: “This girl is lying for some reason, it’s not clear why.” Witnesses to the incident clarify what happened at the rehearsal. The organizer of the award "Russian Radio" published "Clarification on the conflict between F. Kirkorov and M. Yablokova."

In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak in the program “Sobchak Live” on the Dozhd TV channel, Kirkorov admitted that Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of Vladimir Putin, provided him with assistance in settling relations with the media.

Kirkorov was opposed by I. Prigozhin, Alexander Novikov, singer Valeria and V. Meladze. Several players of the Russian national football team addressed an open letter in defense of Kirkorov. Also in defense of the singer were: Iosif Kobzon, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Igor Nikolaev, Sergey Makovetsky, Taisiya Povaliy, Gennady Khazanov.

On December 8, Kirkorov was hospitalized in the psychiatric department of the Israeli medical center“Sheba” (Tel Hashomer Hospital), from where on December 10 in the program “Let them talk” publicly apologized to Yablokova, explained his behavior as a “serious illness”, the attacks of which the singer “suffers twice a year and which is accompanied by unconsciousness”. “Yes, I raised my hand. I offended. But I didn't do what I'm credited with." On December 12, on the Central Television program, after the host announced that there was a video recording of the incident, Yablokova reports that Kirkorov did not drag her by the hair. Yablokova's lawyer asks not to make the video public. On December 13, Kirkorov's lawyer announced a possible appeal to law enforcement about the slander directed against Kirkorov. On December 15, a criminal case was opened. Kirkorov was recognized as a defendant, Yablokova as a private prosecutor and a victim.

On December 16, F. Kirkorov and M. Yablokova entered into an amicable agreement. On December 22, the world court held a meeting to consider the issue of its approval.
