Only one person out of ten who learned about his terrible illness may not fall into despair, but pull himself together and eventually rise to his feet. This one turned out to be Ivan Shapovalov, known to us mainly as the producer of the scandalous Tatu group.

Disappointing news

A child psychiatrist by profession, in the past the owner of one of the Russian printed publications, the head of a public organization, a marketer and advertiser for leading insurance companies in Moscow, and in addition, screenwriter and producer Ivan Shapovalov, in recent 2012, learned that in he has a malignant tumor in his head, and if treatment is not urgently started, then he will not live long. Many of his acquaintances even ahead of time "sent him to the next world" in their interviews, but not Ivan himself. For a long time he did not get in touch with the press, did not allow his friends and family to do this. But, apparently, the famous producer had enough "well-wishers" who were just waiting for the right moment to merge the whole truth and untruth to the broad masses.

For example, Ivan Irbis, one of Enrique's managersIglesias, who at one time was on rather friendly terms with Shapovalov, although he sympathizes with his former friend, he sincerely believes that this is the very retribution for the sins of youth. What are the sins? Well, if rumors are to be believed, Ivan has quite a few of them.

Retribution?

Just a few years ago, everyone was talking about the sexual promiscuity and bisexual inclinations of the star. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the path by which the obvious favorite of her mentor, Yulia Volkova, got into the Tatu project, and he apparently lies through the bed. Moreover, if we compare all the dates, it turns out that producer Ivan Shapovalov seduced her at a very young age. “Yes, and what is there to hide,” Ivan himself apparently thought, and boldly declared to one of the British publishers that underage girls attract him the most.

Moreover, the unfortunate producer is credited with sexual relations with most of the people who have ever worked with him. With all this, Ivan Shapovalov was married. His only legal wife, Valeria, with whom he formalized his relationship while studying at the Saratov Medical Institute, although she moved out of her husband a long time ago, did not dare to divorce. The spouses, by the way, have two children: 27-year-old Vova and 11-year-old Ivan Ivanovich. But the “family man” also has a daughter, Uma, born of her mistress Olga.

Breaking all moral taboos

Ivan Shapovalov, who earned the fame of the world pervert hero, whomthe London newspaper The Times compared with Patrick Swayze, announced the problems of pedophilia all over Britain, but at the same time, he did not hesitate to use it as a publicity stunt in the music industry.

The same Ivan Irbis told about a poor young transvestite, who, one might say, was a double of Yulia Volkova. According to him, for some time the guy lived in an apartment rented by Shapovalov. And although the producer justified this fact with the desire to create a new, even more compromising project with the scandalous name "It", Irbis says that all this was just a matter of the sexual satisfaction of the star. Such, it turns out, is Ivan Shapovalov. "Tatu" is another confirmation of this. Only a twisted brain could freely release two kissing teenage girls onto the stage. Nobody had done this before, and therefore the scandalous group in the West was dubbed "the collapse of the last pop taboo."

The first pancake is not always lumpy

Tatu group - Shapovalov's producer debut. He began working on the project together with the composer Voitinsky back in 1999. The first member of the group was Lena Katina, with whom several compositions were recorded at that time. A little later, Yulia Volkova appeared on the horizon, and the duet got its name. It is worth noting that Alexander Voitinsky would later refuse to cooperate with Shapovalov, as he considered the project to be devoid of moral principles.

The year 2000 was a turning point for Tatu - their song "I'm crazy" was heard from all the radios, and a clip about twoschoolgirls openly kissing in the pouring rain. The music for the song, by the way, is the work of 17-year-old Sergey Galoyan. Already at the beginning of 2001, the group recorded their first studio album called "200 in the opposite direction", which in a year will become English-language. The song "Half an hour" is gaining particular popularity, and the "tatushki" begin to briskly tour around the world.

Fall from Heaven

In 2003, a successful producer came up with a brilliant idea: why not make an equally scandalous reality show? And already at the beginning of next year, the STS channel presented the Russians with a new "entertainment" - "Tatu" in the Celestial Empire, in which the girls were supposed to record their new album in front of the viewers. Filming took place on the 13th level of the Beijing Hotel, where Shapovalov set up a recording studio. But we never got the final result - Ivan abandoned his "brainchild" and transferred the production rights to the Tatu group to Boris Rensky.

But in 2004, the British music award BMI awarded him the Pop Awards. And all thanks to the composition All the Things She Said, which, bypassing even the legendary No Doubt team with their hit It`s My Life, became the leader in this nomination. Imagine, the song was aired over 2 million times!

At the foot of glory

After giving up "tatushki" and triumphing in the British charts, Shapovalov began work on a new project called Nato. Then he took on another ward - the group "7B". Heavy sound and depressing notes have become something new in the work of the producer.

In 2004, he took up the aspiring singer Heley, and already in 2005 he loudly announced his intention to create a new reality show. Filming was supposed to take place on one of the icebreakers, which followed the Arctic Ocean. But plans remained plans.

Well, you can't take away Ivan Shapovalov's desire to work, but none of the projects he led received such success and recognition as Tatu. The group, causing absolutely contradictory comments (they were called either an international shame, or the national pride of Russia), became the producer's "calling card".

Deadly diagnosis, it would seem…

But back to the news that became public knowledge in the hot summer of 2012. Brain cancer - Ivan heard such a terrible diagnosis from doctors in his direction. He himself did not want to make this information public, so everyone thought and wondered about what was happening with Ivan Shapovalov and why he did not go out in public. But Leonid Dzyunik, his friend and colleague, soon told the press about the state of affairs of the patient. It turns out that immediately after the announcement of Ivan's diagnosis, he was placed in the intensive care unit of one of the Moscow clinics. In this, the former ward Yulia Volkova helped him in every possible way. A large number of chemotherapy courses contributed to a significant reduction in the tumor, which, by the way, was so neglected that it even pressed on Shapovalov's eye. Ivan, who took his he alth into his own hands, was on his feet a year later.

Pronosis of doctors: will Ivan Shapovalov have time to atone for his sins?

Ivan Shapovalov's illness, you know,does not promise an absolute recovery. Perhaps that is why the producer took the illness sent to him as a chance to turn the next page of his "non-angelic" life and start everything from scratch.

He practically left Moscow and settled in the town of Konakovo, in the Tver region. It was there that he found a new way to maintain vitality. Horses - that's what helps him in difficult times. And it's not just a hobby. Horses, in a way, became his life. But Ivan Shapovalov did not leave music either. Cancer did not stop him from performing and recording his own song called “My love is walking somewhere.”

Perhaps it was this attitude to his illness that allowed Ivan to remain among the living. After all, the forecasts of doctors were, to put it mildly, disappointing. None of them at first would have dared to give Shapovalov more than 3 months of life, and what a life! Constant wandering around hospitals and communicating with people in white coats - that's what should have accompanied the sinful producer throughout the rest of his life allotted to him. But it was not there! After intensive courses of radiation therapy and "chemo", endless drips and debilitating medications, the tumor began to noticeably decrease. Now, after more than two years, doctors do not notice any metastases in Ivan's body, but he looks like a completely he althy person.
