Seryozha Paramonov is perhaps the most famous of all the child artists of the Soviet Union. His sonorous, goose-bumping voice is familiar and loved by many Russians to this day. The biography of Seryozha Paramonov is full of sad moments, the cause of death of the “Russian Robertino Loretti” is also shrouded in mystery.
Star childhood
Seryozha was born in Moscow, in the most ordinary family. His mother worked as a cleaner, and his father worked as a loader.
From early childhood, the boy showed great interest in music. In many ways, this was facilitated by his grandfather, who loved to arrange joint concerts with his grandson for grandmothers sitting on benches near their house.
Seryozha often visited the kindergarten teacher he went to. She had a piano, and she often invited the boy to her place, and he sang his favorite songs.
During the summer holidays, after graduating from the second grade, Seryozha went to a pioneer camp, where his talent was noticed by a music worker. The woman gave him an accordion.
In order for Sergei to master the basics of playing the instrument, he was enrolled in a circle at the Hammer and Sickle factory. And a year laterthe grandmother brought the boy to the Great Children's Choir of the USSR State Radio and Television under the direction of V. S. Popov, where he got without much difficulty. Soon Seryozha Paramonov became the soloist of the choir.
His first performance as a soloist took place at the concert "Song-72". "Song of the Crocodile Gena" made an indelible impression on the audience. Seryozha became one of three artists who performed their encore work on "Song of the Year". In addition to Sergei, such an opportunity was provided to Anna German and Muslim Magomayev.
As part of the choir, Seryozha performed at the most prestigious venues in the country together with the most famous artists of the Soviet Union. The boy was very popular. Everyone loved him, sparing no applause, no flowers, no gifts for him. With his sonorous and clear, angelic voice, he delighted the audience. A sincere smile, natural artistry and a provocative manner of singing songs made him a unique and unsurpassed young singer.
Tipping point
May 17, 1975 Seryozha performed at the creative evening of Robert Rozhdestvensky with the song "Request". This evening was the first wake-up call in the biography of Seryozha Vladimirovich Paramonov and the cause of death at an early age. It would seem that this reason is not serious at all, and many do not attach much importance to it - voice mutation.
During adolescence, the vocal cords of men are very easy to injure, so during puberty it is better for young men not to sing, but Sergey continued to perform anyway. This led tothat he plucked high notes, felt discomfort and grief because of this.
I had to leave the choir, and the songs that were written especially for Serezha were now performed by other soloists.
Leaving the choir was a big shock for the boy. He went to rehearsals, already as a spectator, sat, with difficulty holding back tears, annoyed at the natural features of the male voice. The young man had a hard time going through this period, he equated the absence of former glory with oblivion.
More on life
The difficult biography of Serezha Paramonov and the personal cause of death will probably remain incomprehensible if his life after leaving the choir is not taken into account.
In 1975, the young man entered a music school. After finishing three classes, he entered the conductor-choir department of the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music College, but did not finish it either.
Sergei continued to study music, now he sang in a vocal-instrumental group. He toured a lot, so his studies did not work out.
Adult Seryozha
Sergey did not leave creativity in adult life:
- For some time he led concerts, then his own program, performed songs by V. Ya. Shainsky.
- Played in various vocal and instrumental ensembles: Inspiration, Young Voices, Cinematography.
- Sang in restaurants, worked with gypsy ensembles and the STS ballet.
- Performed songs from his "star childhood" at various venues,released a cassette with these songs (though under the pseudonym "Sergey Bidonov").
- Worked on radio "Youth" and made programs about famous musicians.
- Created his own organization for the holidays "Kastalsky Key".
- He was an editor in Sokolniki Park - he organized discos for pioneers.
- Wrote music and arrangements for old songs.
- Cooperated with popular composers and bands.
Sergey constantly worked and earned money, but he could not find peace and peace of mind. In a word, it was no longer the beloved and radiant Seryozha Paramonov. The singer's biography and cause of death, meanwhile, are still unclear.
Private life
Sergei was married twice. The first wife was Olga Boborykina, a singer and poetess. She performed her own songs as part of the BiS duet. Olga and Sergey got married on June 8, 1991, but they did not live together even a year - already in May 1992 the family broke up.
A couple of years later, in 1994, Sergei Paramonov again tied the knot with a woman of the creative profession. This time, Maria, the soloist of the Scheherazade group, became his chosen one. A year after the wedding, the wife gave Paramonov the son of Alexander, in whom he doted.
The family did not last long. In 1997, Maria left Sergei. The artist was going through a hard divorce, or rather, separation from his beloved son.
This was another sore wound in the biography of Seryozha Paramonov, the reasonwhose death and tragic fate are still a mystery to us.
He alth problems
Sergey had poor he alth since childhood. Already in adulthood, he fell ill with a closed form of tuberculosis, and he even had a second disability group. The problem was exacerbated by alcohol and, as some say, drugs, addiction to which appeared immediately after leaving the choir.
The difficult biography of Seryozha Paramonov and his personal life (the cause of death lies precisely in failures in the love field, according to a number of acquaintances of the artist) may justify addiction to addictions, but it was worth finding another way out of these situations. Alas, it's too late to give advice.
Amazing vitality
Sergey loved life very much, and everyone who surrounded the artist was infected with this love of life. The doors to his house were always open, it was not in vain that he was considered the soul of the company, because Sergey found a common theme with any person, he knew how to paint dull evenings with vivid emotions and unite people who, it would seem, have nothing in common.
For Paramonov there were no other people's problems, he always helped others, without demanding anything in return. There was no anger or envy in him.
Sergey preferred not to talk about his problems. Relatives could only guess about the presence of severe difficulties and experiences.
Faith helped a man overcome all failures and falls. Recently, he liked to go to the old church in Sokolniki. May be,there he again felt like a little boy, soloist Seryozha Paramonov. The biography and cause of death of the singer worries many, therefore, it's time to move on to the final excerpt from the life of the legend of the Soviet stage.
Recent years
The last years of the artist's life seemed like a white streak: he stopped drinking, looked happy and self-sufficient.
Sergey was preparing for new concerts, planning musical projects and was full of strength and faith in himself, again like the young singer Seryozha Paramonov, whose biography and cause of death still bring tears to many fans today.
Sudden departure
A few months before his death, Sergei caught a cold and fell ill with pneumonia. He was engaged in treatment in passing, relying on traditional Russian chances and resorting to sparing, as it seemed to him, methods of traditional medicine. As a result, the disease gave complications. In many Internet biographies of Seryozha Paramonov, right-sided pneumonia is called the cause of death. However, not everyone shares this version. Some media outlets, describing the final stage of the biography of Seryozha Paramonov, indicate a prolonged binge as the cause of death, but this version also failed. It all happened like this.
On May 15, 1998, Sergei took a bath and shaved, put on a white shirt, as if about to go somewhere. The heart attack happened suddenly. The artist died almost instantly. The star, which shone brightly and fieryly, went out in an instant. Sergei Paramonov was not yet 37 years old.
The star of the Great Children's Choir was tormented by a premonition of death, he told his friends that he would soon be gone and asked to be buriedhim at the Krasnogorsk cemetery in Mitino, where Sergei's friend was buried. Friends fulfilled the last request.
Russian Robertino
Sergey was often compared to the Italian star Robertino Loretti. However, this comparison is not entirely appropriate, because their fates are completely different.
Robertino began his career immediately as a solo artist and was distinguished by his perfect vocal technique. Seryozha took with his enthusiasm and liveliness.
The similarity lies only in the fact that in adulthood, neither of them turned out to be an outstanding singer. Robertino lives to this day, spending huge fees earned at a young age. Seryozha worked for free, because the choir was amateur.
In our hearts will live forever talented Seryozha Paramonov. The biography, photo and cause of death of the little genius are still among the most popular requests on the Web. And this means that interest in the singer is only increasing. The memory of him is a tribute to his humanity and outstanding talent.
