Our hero today is the founder and leader of the rock band "Animation" Egor Timofeev. Recently, a lot of rumors have appeared around his person. Some sources claim that the musician had serious problems due to drug use. Others report surgery. Let's see together where the truth is and where the lie is.
Biography: childhood and youthful time
He was born on April 14, 1976 in Leningrad (now - St. Petersburg). Egor was brought up in a simple family. His mother and father had nothing to do with music and the stage. From an early age, the boy showed his creative abilities. Yegor liked to sing and dance. Soon he was enrolled in a music school. Our hero was happy to attend classes. Timofeev Jr. studied piano and violin.
In his free time from school, Egor collected models of ships and aircraft. And he also loved to draw cartoons. In adolescence, the boy showed a commercial vein. Right inside the school, he was selling Japanese cassettes and Soviet badges. For this, Yegor was even expelled from the pioneers.
The beginning of creative activity
After graduating from high school, Timofeev entered a pedagogical university, choosing the faculty of history. He received a diploma, but he did not work a day in the acquired profession.
In 1993, Yegor founded his first band The Ears ("Ears"). Several talented and ambitious musicians joined him. The guys performed cover versions of the hits of the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and other world-famous bands.
Group "Cartoons"
In 1997, Yegor launched a new project. As you understand, we are talking about the "Cartoons" group. Timofeev became a soloist, as well as an author of music and texts. In addition to him, the team included: Maxim Voitov (drums), Evgeny Lazarenko (electric guitar), Victor Novikov (keys) and Rustem Gallyamov (bass guitar). During its existence, the "Animation" group released 10 studio albums and gave dozens of concerts in Russia. In 2003, keyboardist Vitya Novikov left the band. The activity of the group began to decline.
In 2004, a solo album by Yegor Timofeev appeared on sale. It was called the Pentagon. If you think that the musician left the group and went on a free swim, then you are mistaken. "Cartoons" continued to record songs and perform concerts. After the release of the album “Happiness” (December 2004), the group became silent for a long time.
In 2007, "Cartoons" reaffirmed themselves. The musicians started writing new songs. They performed in clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The touring activity of the collective in Russian cities was resumed only in 2015.
Egor Timofeev: personal life
Our hero was never a womanizer and womanizer. In his youth, he wanted to meet a decent girl and create a family with her. In the mid-1990s, Yegor Timofeev met a young beauty named Natasha. The girl conquered him not only with a spectacular appearance, but also with a rich inner world. Subsequently, Natalia starred in several videos of the group "Cartoons".
At first, the couple lived in a civil marriage. And in July 2001, the musician officially formalized relations with his chosen one. Unfortunately, this marriage did not last long. Every day, the spouses had more and more complaints against each other. As a result, Egor and Natasha made a joint decision to divorce.
Currently, the leader of the rock band "Animation" lives in St. Petersburg. He has a girlfriend, Ksenia, who gave him a charming little daughter, Varvara. Lovers do not rush to the registry office. They consider the stamp in the passport a mere formality. The main thing is that they have respect and mutual feelings.
Disease
Egor Timofeev considered himself a healthy person. But at the end of 2014, he began to experience pain in his legs. The musician did not attach much importance to this, attributing everything to the tiredness and frantic rhythm of life. And at the beginning of 2015, the man experienced severe pain. This time he went for an examination in one of the capital's clinics. What is sick Yegor Timofeev? What about him? It turns out that his hips are destroyed. To eliminate the problem, two endoprosthetics operations must be done.
The leader of the "Animation" took up treatment, so for some time moved away from creativity. Having learned about this, envious and ill-wishers began to compose unpleasant stories about him. Allegedly, the condition of the musician worsened due to drug use. But all this is not true.
Finally
Now you know what path to all-Russian fame Egor Timofeev has made. We also reported a disease that temporarily disabled the musician. We wish him good health and creative inspiration!
