Oleg Yakovlev died today, June 29, early in the morning in one of the capital’s clinics. As Life.ru competently reports, the performer had problems with the liver (allegedly cirrhosis) and was in intensive care for several days. The artist’s common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol told why Oleg Yakovlev died.

“The cause of death was double pneumonia, so all this time he was connected to the machine. During this time, he never even regained consciousness. It was an advanced stage, he was treated at home by himself. Previously, we did not call an ambulance, you know, coughing and coughing. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses,” said the artist’s inconsolable lover.

Meanwhile, Life.ru provides slightly different information. According to the publication, the 47-year-old singer died as a result of pulmonary edema. Complications arose against the background of liver cirrhosis.

Earlier, he spoke about Yakovlev’s health former colleague by group" Ivanushki International" Kirill Andreev. "We filmed together new clip and they were recording a song, and I didn’t know that he had any problems. But I always jokingly told him: “Oleg, smoke less cigarettes.” I was always ready to support him in terms of healthy lifestyle. Just a month and a half ago he was full of strength,” the performer noted.

Journalists learned about the death of Oleg Yakovlev thanks to a message from Alexandra Kutsevol, which she left a sad message on her official page V social network Instagram. “Today at 7:05, the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness, passed away... How can I live without you now?.. Fly, Oleg! I’m always with you,” the inconsolable woman turned to him after publishing a photo of her lover wife.

Oleg Yakovlev joined the famous trio "Ivanushki International" in 1998 after the death of Igor Sorin. He left the team in 2013, but, according to him, he never regretted his decision. “For the first time in my life, I felt like such a big deal. I stopped dividing life into three parts. This is so cool and interesting! My eyes are burning,” the artist admitted.

Oleg was born when his parents were on a long business trip to the small Mongolian town of Choibalsan. There he spent the first year of his life, and then the family returned to Angarsk. The boy grew up and graduated from school in Irkutsk.

At six, he personally chose an activity he liked and entered a music school without the help of his parents. Having confronted my mother, a teacher of Russian and literature, with a fait accompli, he began to demand a piano. Buying a bulky instrument for a small apartment, my parents almost went broke.

As Oleg himself said in his interviews, the humanities were easy for him and he was very drawn to music. From an early age he dreamed of becoming a singer or even a pianist. But he came to the stage in a completely different way.

After graduation, the young man entered the Irkutsk Theater School, majoring in actor puppet theater“, but Oleg always wanted to be on stage, in plain sight, in front of the audience. And hiding behind a screen is not his thing. In search of recognition, the young man decided to conquer the capital.

Moscow

He entered GITIS the first time, in the workshop of Lyudmila Kasatkina. Yakovlev had good inclinations, so the guy was quickly considered for theater world. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan himself noted the young man’s talent and invited him to his theater.

Like all young artists, Yakovlev worked part-time - first he mastered the romantic profession of a metropolitan janitor, then he got a job on the radio, starred in videos and, of course, played in the theater.

Meanwhile, it was 1997. One of the soloists, Igor Sorin, has left the Ivanushki International group, famous throughout the country. He decided to do solo career and no longer participated in new projects.

Castings have begun to fill the vacant position. Oleg also took part in one of them. He knew that he didn’t quite fit the type - the producers were looking for “small and fair”, and Yakovlev is naturally dark-haired, and also not so short - 1.72.

In one of his interviews, the artist admitted that he was very surprised when he was first offered to participate in one of the videos of “Ivanushki” - in “Doll”. To get into character, Oleg had to dye his hair blond, which he did. Throughout most of his work with the boy band, he abandoned his natural hair color.

"Ivanushki"

He officially joined the team only some time later, when the tragedy with Igor Sorin had already happened. Largely because of this, the public received the new guy coldly, but Oleg was understanding.

The artist was surprised: “Ivanushki” is shown so little on TV, but their songs are remembered and loved throughout the country, in every city they are very much awaited and are still adored. Over time, he also had his own horde of fans.

Yakovlev really enjoyed working as part of such a responsive team. He talked about the importance of having real friends around who will help, will cover you if you are sick and cannot work at full capacity, and will listen.

However, the young man, working in a vocal project, did not lose his acting skills. It is known that in 2010 Armen Dzhigarkhanyan called the singer to return to the theater, where his Moscow career began. But Oleg no longer saw himself in this role.

Solo

He decided to go free swimming back in 2012. I took time out to create something of my own. He was pushed to the idea by his beloved girl, Sasha Kutsevol, the same sexy brunette in a red dress who starred in his first solo video.

He said that at first he wanted to present himself as new project, and become the main character of the video for this. But then I thought that his beautiful and charming Sasha could make the product much more popular.

And things went well. The song got into rotation on radio stations, a video was released, and the image changed. Now he had finally become a brunette and expected to eventually become a sort of “Takeshi Kitano” - the most stylish Asian in Russian show business(Oleg’s mother is Buryat, father is Uzbek).

Saying goodbye to “Ivanushki”, after 17 years of joint creativity, he managed to work a little with Kirill Turichenko, who replaced him in the team. Oleg then said in an interview that the cohesion of the team is due to the similarity of characters and energies of all the soloists. He sincerely hoped that Kirill would easily join the team.

Oleg Yakovlev officially terminated his work contract with Ivanushki in 2013.

The same girl from the video has been a fan of Yakovlev since she was 11 years old. But I met my idol only in the late 1990s. The girl won the artist’s sympathy and inspired him to a new creative breakthrough. Then, in 2013, recording solo compositions, he was completely happy.

Alexandra became not only a muse, but also the singer’s director. She handled all administrative issues and was good at it. They spent all their time together, even introducing each other to their parents.

Oleg confessed: “I love Sasha’s parents madly!” They didn’t often visit their beloved’s relatives, but they always returned from there with a bag of homemade dumplings. In moments of discord, Oleg called his beloved’s parents and feignedly complained about Sasha to her dad: “Your daughter didn’t cook borscht for me! She knows how, but she doesn’t want to!” After such playful antics, the couple quickly made up.

“Believe me, I’m very sorry too,

Already past concerts.”

Biography

By Oleg Yakovlev’s own admission, he became a member of the Ivanushki International group almost by accident. And at first, not all fans of the most popular musical group The 1990s received the new member favorably. After all Oleg Yakovlev took the place of Igor Sorin, who tragically passed away just a few months later.

However, for long years successful work in the group, Oleg Yakovlev could not help but win the hearts of the audience with his positive image, obvious optimism and bright, warm smile. And when Oleg Yakovlev left Ivanushki for the sake of a solo career, this was a big disappointment for many fans.

As a young man, Yakovlev received the specialty “puppet theater actor”, after which he went to the capital, entered the Moscow GITIS and got into the workshop of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Oleg called the great artist his second father and teacher. But, having worked in his theater for some time, I received a non-winning, in my opinion young actor, role. And then I saw an advertisement on TV that a certain group was looking for a new lead singer.

Regarding his solo career, Oleg Yakovlev was full of ideas, strength and creative plans for the future.

Cause of death of Oleg Yakovlev

The sudden death of such a young and seemingly healthy artist could not but give rise to a wide variety of versions regarding the true background of the circumstances of his death. Thus, Yakovlev’s friend and colleague in the group “Ivanushki” Kirill Andreev suggested that the fact that he smoked a lot and for a long time played a role in the sharp deterioration in Oleg’s health. Some rumors cited the artist’s overall unhealthy lifestyle as the cause of death. However, the singer’s common-law wife, Alexandra Kutsevol, said that the culprit was self-medication and Yakovlev’s categorical refusal to seek medical help until it came to emergency hospitalization.

Since 1990, Oleg has been working at the Modern Opera Theater (now named after A. Rybnikov), where he has the opportunity to combine acting with singing, participating in musicals and opera productions.

It was there that Yakovlev recorded the song “White Rosehip”, the cassette of which he sent to Igor Matvienko, the producer of Ivanushki International. At that time, the band had just lost its lead singer (remember that Igor Sorin died after falling out of a window) and was in search of a new performer.

Oleg Yakovlev and Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov on stage

In March 1998, Oleg became the new vocalist of “Ivanushki”.

Yakovlev did not immediately win recognition from fans; fans were jealous of the newly minted frontman, constantly comparing him with the deceased Sorin. However, thanks to such hits as “Poplar Fluff” and “Bullfinches”, Oleg receives the love and recognition of fans. A year after joining the team, the first album “Ivanushki” appears with the participation of Yakovlev - “I’ll scream about this all night”, then 4 more collections of hits will be released.

Oleg has long been compared to Igor Sorin

Despite the popularity of the group, in 2012. Oleg leaves the group, deciding to start working on a solo career. Over the course of four years, Yakovlev recorded about 15 songs, and several videos appeared from 2013 to 2017.

Personal life

Fans have never been indifferent to the Ivanushki International team, and Oleg Yakovlev did not escape this fate. His unusual appearance and short stature became a real “lure” for girls. However, the soloist’s heart has long belonged to one main fan – Alexandra Kutsevol. A journalist by training, the girl left her profession, completely devoting herself to her beloved. Sasha supported Yakovlev in all his endeavors.

Oleg's common-law wife

According to unconfirmed information, it was Kutsevol who insisted that Oleg leave the group and start singing alone.

Alexandra quit her job for Oleg

Oleg himself has admitted more than once that Alexandra makes his life truly happy, evidence of this is numerous photos happy couple in the Internet. However, despite the idyll in the relationship, it was not possible to create a real family; Kutsevol remained common-law wife Yakovleva, the couple has no children. The artist is survived by his niece Tanya and two great-nephews.

Oleg's sister

Yakovlev's life was full interesting facts and stories. Here are the most interesting of them:

• Yakovlev never knew his father, and his middle name was left to him from his maternal grandfather.
• At school, the ex-vocalist of “Ivanushek” was involved in athletics and even became a candidate for sports competitions.
• Oleg could also boast of his ability to play billiards masterfully.
• To live in the expensive capital while studying at GITIS, the guy had to work part-time on the radio, record commercials and even clean the streets.
• Back in 2003, the team could have broken up, but after much deliberation, the group decided not to disperse. Then the producer doubled the participants’ salaries.
• According to rumors, Yakovlev has a son in the Northern capital. The artist did not deny this fact, but refused to comment. The situation was similar with information about the affair with singer Irina Dubtsova.

And even after his death, rumors around Yakovlev’s personality do not subside. Some associate his death with mysticism. So famous actor Stanislav Sadalsky believes that “Ivanushki” is destined to sing as a duet and all attempts to turn the group into a trio end unsuccessfully.

So, the death of one soloist (Igor Sorin) can be attributed to an accident, while the death of two is... a coincidence? Or is it already a pattern? Therefore, Kirill Turichenko, who today took Yakovlev’s place, should think carefully about whether it is worth continuing to work in the team.
