April brings a lot of happiness and spring joys to life, and here the long-awaited joy came to the family of Bedros and Victoria Kirkorovs: in April 1967, they had a son named Philip. But first, focus on the family of the future celebrity.
Bulgarian roots
The father of Philip Kirkorov - Bedros Kirkorov - had in his family not only Bulgarians, but also Armenians. Since childhood, he had a very good voice and excellent vocal skills, thanks to which he was able to break out into people. In 1962, Bedros was admitted to GITIS, which he successfully completed and went on tour around the country. He was then very young, and when asked how old Bedros Kirkorov was when he met his future wife, Philip replies that he was about 20. This significant event happened in 1964, in the sultry and hot city of Sochi, where Victoria Likhacheva toured with a circus troupe. The young and attractive Bulgarian liked this girl so much that he, without wasting time, decided to play a wedding with her, which took place in the same year. And three years later, a son was born in the family.
Childhood Kirkorov
Little Philip was named after his grandfather, whom his father greatly respected and respected. His childhood passed in the Bulgarian city of Varna, in the same place where he was born. His mother worked as a host, because the family often traveled, but since 1974, Philip Kirkorov, who was 7 years old at that time, lives permanently in Moscow, where he learns to play the piano and receives a vocal education. Then he first met Alla Pugacheva, a fateful meeting took place on the Christmas Tree in the Kremlin, where they called Philip in the same way as other gifted children. When wondering how old Kirkorov was at that time, you can look at various sources and make sure that he was 10 years old at that time. And ahead was the uncharted metropolitan world, which did not even suspect that it was accepting the future star of the pop scene.
Youth of the singer
Many fans are asking with increasing interest from the singer’s friends and himself, how old was Kirkorov when he began to perform on stage on his own? Answering him, we can say that he was 15 years old, and he dreamed of distant peaks, because he studied at school very diligently, for which he received a gold medal. The first urge was to follow in his father's footsteps and enroll in GITIS, but, oddly enough, the selection committee, which at that time was very strict, considered him an insufficiently gifted young man and advised him to try his hand at a different craft. Despite the refusal, Kirkorov, whose age was too young to fall into despair and despair, submits documents to the famous Gnesinsky College of Music, and thanks to hard work, he achieves significant successes, deservedly appreciated by teachers. He graduated in 1988, graduating with honors.
Career start
How old Kirkorov was in 1988 is very important, because it was in this year that he, already an adult 21-year-old young man, met Christmas his wife, Alla Pugacheva, at Christmas. But then there was still nothing between them and could not be, and Kirkorov interested Pugachev and composer Leonid Derbenev primarily with his skill, because then everyone loved the song "Alyosha", performed by Philip in his native Bulgarian language in his first year. Touching and sad, she won the hearts of many listeners, but still did not bring much glory. Leonid Derbenev proposes to write for Philip several songs that have become his legends. This is “You, you, you,” and “Atlantis,” and “Day and Night.” Success came unexpectedly, and Philip was invited to the theater of Alla Pugacheva, with whom he collaborated for some time, until in 1990 he won the Schlyager-90 Grand Prix and made the decision to perform solo.
Solo career
Kirkorov receives the first recognition and becomes the protagonist of the New Year's Blue Lights. Indicators of success at that time were the awards of the Bulgarian Golden Orpheus competition and the first place in the Interferst competition, which was held in Macedonia in 1992. Since 1993, the singer receives the Ovation Award almost every year. In 1995, Philip tries himself at the Eurovision Song Contest, but does not win, as he is only in the top twenty best performers. However, at home, its popularity is growing. Since 1996, Philip has been participating in the “Golden Gramophone”, having on his account to date about 12 awards. For his contribution to the development of musical art, Philip Kirkorov becomes a five-time winner of the World Music Awards, and also receives the orders “Professional of Russia”, “Serving the Art” and “Francis Skorina”. Among the modern list of awards we can name the MUZ-TV awards, of which there are already four in the singer's piggy bank. In 2013, Philip Kirkorov received the Russian Music Award of the RU.TV channel in the nomination “Best concert show” - “DruGoy”. The singer has dozens of videos, many great songs that are well known to all Russians and even residents of foreign countries. He also released more than 16 albums, starred in films and musicals, the most famous of which were Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and Metro. Recognized as an honored artist not only in Russia but also in the CIS countries. Today she is actively engaged in producing activities, preparing young artists for performance at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The first marriage of the singer
At the beginning of his career, when almost nobody was interested in how old the singer Philip Kirkorov was, he met the winner of the beauty contest in the Moscow Region - Maria Shatlanova, whose relationship lasted almost 10 years and ended in separation, after which many facts remained unclear. So, it is still unknown whether Philip is the father of Maria's daughter - Nastya - although the ex-wife herself never admitted the reality of this assumption. She several times gave an interview about life with a star, in which she accused Alla Pugachev of their separation.
The second marriage of the singer - Primadonna
The relationship of Alla and Philip has long been known to every detail to the smallest detail thanks to the ubiquitous yellow press, but few remember that it all began with great love and marriage, concluded in 1994. Envious people whispered that it was thanks to the support of Alla that Philip was able to achieve so much at such a young age. But still, this is not so, since the viewer was not fond of Alla Pugacheva’s protégé, but a young Bulgarian singer with a strong and beautiful voice, whose songs seemed to be intended for all women of the country. The marriage with Alla broke up in 2005, after much bickering. Philip was very worried about the breakdown, and even did not appear on the scene for some time, but he was able to overcome himself and today is performing with even greater zeal and talent. There were no children in this marriage, despite the couple's numerous attempts to give birth to a child.
Children of Philip Kirkorov
Philip loves children very much, but he could not learn the joy of fatherhood with any of his women, so he turned to the services of modern medicine and maternity planning. And so, in 2011, he had a daughter, named after Alla Pugacheva and the mother of singer Victoria - Alla-Victoria. After only a year, a son appears - Martin-Christine. Thus, the reader received the long-awaited answers to the question of how old the children of Kirkorov are. Knowing the years of their birth, it is easy to calculate and find the numbers of interest. Answering the question, how old is the son of Kirkorov, it can be noted that this year will be two years old, which his father is incredibly happy about. At the moment, the children live in America, the nanny is engaged in their upbringing, because they were born from different surrogate mothers, specially selected in a foreign clinic. The singer tries not to advertise his pastime with children and does not give any interviews on this subject, although curious journalists nevertheless learned something about his children and got a few photos of Philip with the children.
Social life: a brawler and a bully
Such a sweet and always smiling on stage, in life the singer is endowed with a rather steep disposition, which constantly leads to unpleasant situations, such as an attack on journalists and fans, obscene language and insults against correspondents. For this, Philip was repeatedly brought to justice, however, it was possible to resolve cases peacefully. The most famous scandal that continues to this day is the communication of Philip with the famous rapper Timati on Twitter. The scandalous story began recently due to the fact that the singers can not share the popularity with the audience of the MUZ channel, so today's pages of Timati and Philip Kirkorov are full of insults to each other, so far only veiled under taunts. Although Sergey Lazarev was drawn into the scandal, which Philip began to congratulate on his birthday by comparing his creative talent with Timati's music, of course, without giving names, but the comparison was not in favor of the latter, and the readers of the blog became clear.
Thus, despite the fact that the singer has already reached that age, which is commonly called the people in the middle, he remains as unabashed and intolerant as before, an example with Timati is an indicator of this. Those who are interested in how old Kirkorov will turn in 2014, and what this average age is, will be interested to know that the famous singer turned 47 on April 30, but this date is just a mark in the passport, since for all Kirkorov he remains forever young and beloved artist.
