Our today's hero is the founder and leader of the rock band "Cartoons" Yegor Timofeev. Recently, a lot of rumors have appeared around his person. Some sources claim that the musician had serious problems due to drug use. Others report having undergone surgery. Let's figure out together where is the truth and where is the lie.

Biography: childhood and adolescence

He was born on April 14, 1976 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). Egor was brought up in a simple family. His mother and father had nothing to do with music and the stage. From an early age, the boy showed his creative abilities. Yegor liked to sing and dance. Soon he was enrolled in a music school. Our hero attended classes with pleasure. Timofeev Jr. studied piano and violin.

In his spare time from school Egorka collected models of ships and planes. He also liked to draw cartoons. In adolescence, the boy showedcommercial vein. Right within the walls of the school, he sold Japanese cassettes and Soviet badges. For this, Yegor was even expelled from the pioneers.

The beginning of creative activity

After graduating from high school, Timofeev entered a pedagogical university, choosing the faculty of history. He received a diploma, but he did not work a day in his mastered profession.

In 1993, Yegor founded his first band The Ears ("Ears"). He was joined by several talented and ambitious musicians. The guys performed cover versions of hits by Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and other world-famous bands.

Group "Cartoons"

In 1997, Egor launched a new project. As you understand, we are talking about the group "Cartoons". Timofeev became a soloist, as well as the author of music and lyrics. In addition to him, the team included: Maxim Voitov (drums), Evgeny Lazarenko (electric guitar), Viktor Novikov (keys) and Rustem Gallyamov (bass guitar). During its existence, the group "Cartoons" released 10 studio albums and gave dozens of concerts in Russia. In 2003, keyboardist Vitya Novikov left the band. The group's activity has declined.

In 2004 Yegor Timofeev's solo album went on sale. It was called the Pentagon. If you think that the musician left the group and went on a free voyage, then you are mistaken. "Cartoons" continued to record songs and perform concerts. After the release of the record "Happiness" (December 2004), the group falls silent for a long time.

In 2007, "Cartoons" re-asserted themselves. The musicians started writing new songs. They performed in clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The band's touring activities in Russian cities resumed only in 2015.

Egor Timofeev: personal life

Our hero has never been a womanizer and womanizer. Even in his youth, he wanted to meet a worthy girl and create a family with her. In the mid-1990s, Yegor Timofeev met a young beauty named Natasha. The girl conquered him not only with her spectacular appearance, but also with her rich inner world. Subsequently, Natalia starred in several videos of the Cartoons group.

At first, the couple lived in a civil marriage. And in July 2001, the musician officially formalized the relationship with his chosen one. Unfortunately, this marriage did not last long. Every day the spouses had more and more claims to each other. As a result, Yegor and Natasha made a joint decision to divorce.

Currently, the leader of the rock band "Cartoons" lives in St. Petersburg. He has a beloved girl, Ksenia, who gave him a charming daughter, Varvara. Lovers are in no hurry to the registry office. They consider the stamp in the passport a mere formality. The main thing is that they have respect and mutual feelings.

Disease

Egor Timofeev considered himself a he althy person. But at the end of 2014, he began to experience pain in his legs. The musician did not attach much importance to this, attributing everything to fatigue and the frantic pace of life. And at the beginning of 2015, the man experienced severe pain. This time he went toexamination in one of the metropolitan clinics. What is sick Yegor Timofeev? What about him? It turns out that his hip bones are destroyed. To fix the problem, two endoprosthetics operations are required.

The leader of the "Cartoons" took up treatment, so for some time he moved away from creativity. Upon learning of this, envious people and ill-wishers began to compose unpleasant tales about him. Allegedly, the musician's condition worsened due to drug use. But this is not true.
