People’s Artist of Russia Valery Leontyev leaves the stage – about this REN TV said the singer’s concert director Boris Chigirev. Later in a conversation with “Izvestia“producer Sergei Lavrov explained the real reasons why Leontyev made such a decision.
“I think he left show business because he has such a high standard that he doesn’t want to do low-level shows.”Lavrov noted.
Nevertheless, the producer did not completely rule out the possibility that Leontyev would appear on stage. It could be one concert – and it will become exclusive.
“An artist of this rank should cost a minimum, as Kirkorov and everyone else now cost – €100 thousand, 10 million rubles. And there are those willing. They call and ask for Leontyev. They say: “We want to show the status of our event.”said Lavrov.
Valery Leontyev also commented on his departure. He stated that the genre in which he performs “does not tolerate decrepitude.” Note that on March 19, the artist turned 75 years old.
