The journalist wrote that "an evil person published on the Web", after which she confirmed this information from insiders and wrote the news without checking it.

God grant, may he live happily ever after with our prayers. I will, of course, apologize to him and his wife, and I don’t know how I will make amends. You can’t rely on unverified information in such things - this is a big lesson not only for me, but for all our media. I deserved all the stones this time. I'm very embarrassed. But, of course, the most important thing is that he is alive

The artistic director of the Helikon-Opera Dmitry Bertman told Ekho Moskvy that Hvorostovsky laughed at what had happened. "Everything is fine. He laughs at this. He writes “ha-ha-ha, what ducks”. I tell him to call your parents immediately. He says everything is fine, everything is fine. We decided that we would live a hundred years after this,” Bertman said.

The death of Dmitri Hvorostovsky, an opera singer and People's Artist of Russia, is a great loss not only for his family and entourage, but also for the opera world. Colleagues and friends of the artists are talking about this today, expressing their condolences in connection with his death.

Soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Dinara Aliyeva, who worked with Hvorostovsky admitted that until recently she did not believe that her colleague could die so suddenly.

“I can only say that we have lost a great singer, a wonderful person, a friend, a world personality who made a huge contribution, he made a huge contribution to the world opera culture and also in the world and in Russia. I think that for a very long time we will not have such a singer as Dima. He was still a very close friend to us, I was lucky to be on the same stage with him ... I express my condolences to his entire family. This is terrible news. It’s just somehow unexpected… We all knew about it, but everyone didn’t believe until the very end that it would happen,” Aliyeva told Komsomolskaya Pravda Radio.

The message about the death of the artist was also commented on by another colleague of Hvorostovsky - singer and composer Alexander Gradsky. He told the RT television channel that he was "horrified" by the news about the death of Hvorostovsky, with whom he had previously communicated well.

Known writer Daria Dontsova also responded to the news of the death of Hvorostovsky. She urged to remember that cancer is not always a sentence. And do not despair even with such a serious diagnosis

I am so sorry that Dmitri Hvorostovsky is gone... This is an insanely talented singer who personally gave me many moments of joy when I listened to his performance. I want to say my dear, even though we are in recent times We often hear about deaths. famous people, oncology - treated. And in order for you to be cured, the disease must be caught at the very beginning, in the first stages. Therefore, please, address elementarily to the doctor. Not when you have something sick, not when you are already being taken to intensive care, but simply for examination. Every six months. Take a blood test, do not spare time and money for this. And if you find any disease, remember that at the very beginning everything is treated quite well. Oncology is not a sentence by any means.

One more thing. Each of us has our own destiny, our own life. Never try on someone else's disease. If you suffer from oncology, or if you have someone in your family with this diagnosis, you don’t have to think now, remembering Dmitry Hvorostovsky, Mikhail Zadornov, Zhanna Friske, that this is your destiny, that death is inevitable. If you still want to look at someone, to have an “example” before your eyes, then I will say the words that I never say to people, but in this situation I will say: look at me, please. Your happy future is most likely me. I love you very much. Yours Daria Dontsova.
