"Gaza Strip" - a group that has made a significant contribution to the development of national rock music. Our today's hero is the founder and permanent leader of this team - Yuri Klinskikh, better known as Yura Khoy. The article tells the story of his life, creative development and tragic death.

Biography: childhood and youth

Yuri Klinskikh was born in 1964 (July 27) in Voronezh. In what family was the future idol of millions of people brought up? His father, Nikolai Mitrofanovich, graduated with a degree in engineering. For many years, the man worked at the Voronezh Aviation Plant. Yuri's mother, Maria Kuzminichna, was a catering worker.

Yura grew up as an active and inquisitive child. In 1971 he went to first grade. He always had problems with behavior and academic performance. Parents often had to blush for their offspring.

Yura graduated from high school with one "four" in the certificate. In other subjects, he had "triples", even in singing and physical education.

Love formusic and other talents

Yura's main defenders were two older brothers. It was they who instilled in him a love of music. In the Klinsky house, rock and roll compositions often sounded. All three brothers were fans of such foreign bands as The Beatles and Deep Purple. First they bought records, then they switched to reels.

The father also contributed to the creative development of his youngest son. He taught Yura to poetry. For the summer, the boy went to the village to his grandparents. There he began to write poetry. Horror films were another source of his inspiration. We are talking not only about foreign films, but also about Soviet ones. For example, Yuri liked the movie Viy.

As a schoolboy, Klinskikh Jr. learned to play the guitar. The lack of musical education did not prevent him from composing and performing dozens of songs.

Serving in the army

After receiving a certificate, Yura was in no hurry to enter a technical school or vocational school. He knew that he would be taken into the army and was ready for it. The guy managed to unlearn at DOSAAF. He was awarded a driver's license for a ZIL-130. And then came the summons to the army. The younger representative of the Klinsky family was sent to the Far East. He was a driver in the tank troops. His mother often sent him letters, but the guy did not always succeed in answering her in time.

Adult life

In 1984, our hero returned to civilian life. Yuri was not going to sit on the neck of his parents. He got a job in the traffic police. The traffic inspector turned out to be strict and fair. Only here the salary was low. Therefore, a year later, Yura went to work inprivate security. Although the guy did not stay there for a long time. In subsequent years, he mastered such professions as a loader, miller and CNC machine operator. Soon our hero realized that his main calling was the stage.

Music career

In 1987, a rock club was opened in Voronezh. One of its first visitors was Yuri Klinskikh. On the stage of this institution, he performed songs of his own composition. The local audience accepted his performances with a bang.

"Gas Sector" - a group that was formed in December 1987. The idea of creating a rock band belonged to Yuri Klinskikh. It was he who led the team. When the musical materials were prepared, the first performances of the group called "Gaza Strip" began. The composition of the group at that time was a quintet - bass guitarists Semyon Titievskiy and Misha Fink, drummer Oleg Kryuchkov, guitarist Sergey Tupikin and our hero. During performances, Yuri Klinsky, who was a soloist, author of words and music, often shouted "Hoi!" So this nickname stuck to him.

At first, the musicians from the "Gaza Strip" performed as an opening act for such Voronezh bands as "Children", "Civil Defense" and "Sounds of Mu". But soon they had their own army of fans.

Yuri Khoi and his friends learned about what all-Russian fame is in 1990. This happened after the release of the albums "Evil Dead" and "Very Louse". The entire circulation of records was sold out in a few weeks.

During its existence, the Gaza Strip released 15studio albums, shot 8 clips and gave hundreds of concerts all over Russia. Also, 4 books were released dedicated to the permanent leader of this rock band.

Private life

The Gaza Strip soloist never complained about the lack of female attention. Already in high school, girls ran after him. And after he created his group, the number of his fans increased significantly.

The musician met his future wife Galina before the army. A pretty and modest girl immediately liked Yuri. He did his best to woo her. In the mid-1980s, the lovers got married. The celebration turned out to be modest. But the eyes of the bride and groom shone with happiness.

In August 1986, Yura and Galya became parents for the first time. Their daughter Irina was born. The young father doted on the crumbs. And in January 1995, another replenishment happened in the Klinsky family. The second daughter was born. The girl received a beautiful name Lilia. Many considered Yuri an exemplary family man. However, he, like most men, had his sins.

In 1991, during a tour in Moscow, the lead singer of the Gaza Strip met an attractive blonde Olga Samarina. He met with her in the last years of his life. Galina's wife knew about the existence of a mistress. She wanted to save her family, so she did not make scandals and scenes of jealousy.

He ended up visiting people he didn't know well. He became ill. People in the house called an ambulance. But the doctors arrived too late.

From what did Yuri Klinskikh die? The cause of death is a heart attack. To many of Hoy's friends and relatives, this version seemed unconvincing. After all, he never had heart problems. Almost immediately there were rumors that the singer was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Experts do not confirm this information in any way.

The last shelter the soloist of the "Gaza Strip" found at the Left Bank cemetery in Voronezh. Today, two black marble monuments are installed on the grave of the famous rock artist.
