Leaving the stage
In 2009, Andrei recorded his last song and appeared in public less and less, gradually losing his familiar circle of friends. The singer closes from the outside world. He begins to lead an almost reclusive lifestyle, not letting anyone in and not commenting on the drastic changes in his life.
Later it became known that Andrey Gubin was ill with something. In parallel with this, information appeared that the singer was addicted to alcohol and could no longer perform as before. Andrei himself refutes such rumors and assures that all this is speculation and someone’s evil gossip. Colleagues neatly hinted that, most likely, Andrei Gubin was mentally ill, as evidenced by the fact of his treatment in a psychiatric clinic in Moscow.
What is Gubin really sick with?
The noise among the loyal fans of the singer’s creativity did not subside, everyone wanted to know what Andrey Gubin was sick with? There were more questions than answers. And Andrei had to shed light on what was happening. It turned out that back in 2004 the singer was diagnosed with left-sided prosopalgia of the face. This disease is caused by chronic lack of sleep, overwork and endless nervous strain. The flip side of popularity and stellar life provoked this insidious disease.
The singer claims that his face is half immobilized, his lips periodically turn blue. And all this is accompanied by terrible pain. Sometimes there is even numbness of the left side of the body. This disease most often occurs in people who have any mental disorders or are prone to neurosis.
Screen appearance
The first appearance of A. Gubin in public, after leaving the big stage, happened on the program of A. Malakhov “Let They Speak” in 2012. The singer answered all questions, told how he lives now and how he is sick. Andrei Gubin said that when he found out about his illness, he immediately began treatment. The multimillion-dollar fees accumulated for singing were spent on endless examinations.
The singer flew abroad for treatment, then returned to Russia to find a good doctor in his homeland, but, having not achieved his goal, was again forced to leave. For example, he had to live in Egypt for several years. In Russia, not a single doctor could even determine what Andrey Gubin was sick with. He was diagnosed only in a foreign clinic. But long-term treatment did not bring any results. The pain continues, the face “floats”, and the doctors just shrug.
How does the star of the 90s Andrei Gubin live today?
Now Andrei Gubin is seriously ill. The singer claims that he cannot calmly look at himself in the mirror, because he is afraid of his own reflection. In one show, he even compared his face to an iron mask. But at the same time, Andrei believes that although he changed outwardly quite strongly, he remained the same in his soul, only became more nervous because of the disease.
Overcoming the terrible depression, our hero still found the strength to return, if not to the stage, but to life. He became interested in travel and sports. Every day he rides a bicycle and goes to the gym. According to the singer himself, it is these hobbies that are slowly pulling him out of a terrible state.
Andrei Gubin does not hide that now the main source of his income is the copyright in the amount of 15 thousand rubles, which he receives monthly for his songs from radio stations. And since the noise around his person does not subside and the question of what Andrey Gubin is sick with remains relevant in 2017, the star of the 90s constantly receives offers to take part in television programs.
The favorite of the public believes that he has everything necessary for life and says that he does not need anything.
The personal life of a star boy
Andrei has never been married and has no children, although he is already 43 years old. When asked if he has a desire to start a family, the singer replies that he is absolutely not against this. However, the artist is in no hurry to marry. "Because of the disease, I can’t provide a decent life for my wife and children, because I myself need care," says singer Andrei Gubin. - "About what, having such an ailment, can we talk at all?"
Not so long ago, at a talk show where Andrei Gubin was invited, a young man appeared - Maxim. The young man is confident that he is the illegitimate son of a popular artist in the past. The guy said that the last 8 years he lived, hoping to meet with his father. According to the stories of Maxim’s mother, 20 years ago she managed not only to get behind the curtains to Gubin, but also to spend the night alone with him. Those in the studio noted the amazing similarity between Maxim and Andrei Gubin. Indeed, the guy looks like a famous singer. Even their hobbies are the same. Maxim is seriously engaged in vocals, loves to ride a bicycle.
Andrei himself reacted calmly to his illegitimate son, even shook his hand. But he invited the young man to solve all issues relating to paternity in court. Andrei did not like that the young man came to television and made a provocative statement throughout the country. Gubin believes that this could be done differently. For example, meeting with him in person.
The audience and the public were waiting with interest for the denouement of this story. And it happened on the television program of Lera Kudryavtseva "Secret to a Million", in which Andrei took part. There he underwent a DNA test that answered the main question - son or not?
The study showed: the probability that the artist is Maxim’s biological father is zero. “What should be expected,” breathed the unbelievers. “It cannot be, Maxim is a copy of Andrei,” said those who consider the results of the examination to be erroneous.
Andrei Gubin himself chose neutrality and does not comment on this topic.
