Who was the producer of the tattoo group. Ivan Shapovalov defeated brain cancer. East is a delicate matter

A year ago, Ivan Shapovalov announced his terrible diagnosis - the producer of Tatu was diagnosed with brain cancer. Even many relatives did not believe in his recovery.

Only one person out of ten who learned about his terrible illness can 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. Shapovalov was able to cope with the disease and return to show business. Only now as a performer.

Few people believed that Vanya would be able to overcome the illness. Shapovalov felt the first symptoms a few years ago, but categorically did not want to be treated. And only after the intervention of Yulia Volkova, who personally took the former mentor to the oncology center, did he take up health. The doctors who examined the producer only shrugged. And his wife Valeria trusted in God: she regularly prayed in the temple. Shapovalov himself, after a course of chemotherapy, could only walk on crutches. Later there was a long treatment in China. There, the disease began to recede.

“Each disease is given to us as a test that needs to be passed,” the producer is sure. - Now I have started new life from scratch.

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

Here, for example, Ivan Irbis, one of the managers of Enrique Iglesias, 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 you believe the rumors, then Ivan has not so few of them.

Just a few years ago, everyone was just 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 attracted him most of all.

Many are sure: terrible disease was sent to Ivan as a test. After all, in his time he made many mistakes. Ivan Irbis does not hide: this person is simply woven from sins.

“I saw how Shapovalov communicates with people,” says Ivan. - I remember once, when I came to his hotel, his pregnant mistress began to break in the door. She came in winter in torn jeans and a thin jacket in the cold. But Vanya did not want to see her. He then said to me: "Kick her out." I had to call security to get her out. And there were a lot of such cases.

What causes brain tumors official medicine can't say for sure. Lifestyle plays a significant role. In Shapovalov's life at one time there was everything: alcohol, drugs, promiscuous sex. According to Irbis, battles for a place in the producer's bed took place every minute.

“I knew many girls who wanted to give Vanya at least a blowjob in the car,” continues Irbis. - And of course, by his behavior, you can tell that he was never against this. Everyone was in his bed: both boys and girls. What is there to say! Remember his interview, when he admitted that he created Tatu when he found out that the most requested on the Internet is sex with youngsters.

In addition to singing, Ivan became interested in horses, now he can often be seen at the stables. Shapovalov is rarely in Moscow, he spends all his free time in the village of Konakovo, Tver Region. It was here that work began on his new project.

The words of Shapovalov's songs, as in the songs of "Tatu", give away a provocation. The video will also be scandalous: in the video, Vanya shoots transvestites and freaks. Among the actors on the set, the media also found a participant in Dancing with the Stars, Danila Polyakov. The guy first walked in women's dress and heels, then changed clothes, leaving only a wide festive ribbon on himself. Through the translucent fabric, the audience could see not only his dignity, but also several pimples on his buttocks. But Polyakov paid no attention to this.

Shapovalov was satisfied with the work. And he promised that soon the video could be seen on music channels.

Composer Alexander Voitinsky slept with both duet soloists

It all started when I was 17 years old - Mr. Galoyan . - I played guitar in an alternative band" Noyes". And at the same time he wrote music at home on an old 486th computer. Then he began to offer his material to various studios, including the studio Vladimir Osinsky. At the same time, the producer came there " Tattoo" Ivan Shapovalov, who tried to push his group somewhere. They had two songs Alexander Voitinsky "Why me?" and "Count to a Hundred" in its original, useless form. Osinsky gave Shapovalov my material, and he made an appointment for me. Seeing a pimply boy in front of him, Shapovalov arrogantly gave me the original text of the song " I've lost my mind", from which now only the chorus remains, and with pathos said:" Boy! Mow me, please, under Britney Spears". I didn't like that you need to mow for someone. But I made two versions of the arrangement of "I'm crazy." In principle, we discussed prices. I was hoping to get $ 1200 for each song (I wrote a total of There are five of them). Since it was impossible to work on my equipment, in the summer they bought me a computer for $ 1200. And, apparently, they decided that I didn’t need to pay anything else. In addition, I made a bunch of arrangements, for which I also didn’t receive anything. My name not even listed on the album cover.

Shapovalov demanded that he be my co-author. Allegedly, if his last name is next to mine, it will help me in the future as a composer. I actually made Vanya a career. By the way, the composer Alexander Voitinsky eventually also refused to work with Shapovalov. He is an older man and said that he did not want to write songs for lesbians. At first, there was no lesbianism in Tatu. At first, there was only one soloist in general - Lena Katina. Then they added to it Yulia Volkova. Voitinsky slept with both of them. And when they came up with this lesbian chip, he thought it was too much. The last straw for him was the fact that Shapovalov stole a piece of music from him and inserted it into the song "I'm crazy."

When I wrote the song gay boy", Shapovalov again gave me a contract, according to which he was listed as a co-author. Out of desperation, I signed it and said: " Vania! Someday we'll take you to court". Shapovalov just laughed in response. After that, I didn’t call him up and didn’t see him anymore. It was February 2001. Soon my business went uphill. I found female singers to create my own group. I found a person from the company " Techbunker"Under the President of Russia, who agreed to finance my project. We signed a contract for $ 150,000. Of this money, I was supposed to receive 10 percent as a producer of the project and $ 1,500 for each of my songs. And at that moment the Tatu album was released. The person who was going to finance me immediately shoved the cover of their album in my face: " Seryozha! It says here that you are some kind of Armenian bandit and almost a terrorist. Therefore, we will not give you money. Maybe all this is not true, but, sorry, we value our reputation". I was handed a letter of official termination of the contract. After that, I fell into a depression. And in the NAAP authoring agency they simply told me : "That's it! You are no longer the author of the songs" Tatu "! Apparently they didn't want problems with the record company" Universal", which releases Tatu. I realized that with the inscription on the cover of the album, Shapovalov took revenge on me for my revealing performance on the channel STS in a programme " Show Business", where I told about all his machinations. In general, my world was broken. And then a lawyer appeared on the horizon Vyacheslav Shebitsky. He undertook to help me for 50 percent of the money won. We wrote a lawsuit against Shapovalov's production company " Unformatted", and also on " Universal Music"and to the company" Music Trade which distributes discs and cassettes of Tatu. Co-producer of Tatu Lena Kiper started to scare us. "When I worked for NTV, I ruined the largest tobacco company. You will also lose the court." My lawyer had to cunningly prove that Tatu discs and cassettes are sold in large numbers. In particular, he went to the Music Trade and entered into a fictitious contract with them for the supply of 60,000 units of audio products.

As a result, the judge agreed that the information published on the cover of the album without my consent is defamatory, and satisfied almost all the points of the claim. The only thing is that we demanded 500,000 rubles for moral damages, and she awarded only 20,000.

- We do not intend to stop there, - the lawyer of Mr. Galoyan shared his plans Vyacheslav Schebitsky. - Contrary to the law, the guys were given too lenient punishment. Now we are filing a cassation appeal against the decision of the court of first instance with the Moscow City Court. And after its revision, we will already file a copyright lawsuit.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be impossible to find out what Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov thinks about all this. Employees of his office reported that he had been on a business trip to the United States for several months. Instead, the co-producer of the project Elena KIPER undertook to comment on the situation.

The boy's stories about how he was bred and thrown are very similar to the truth, - she cynically admitted. - In principle, in show business this is often done. But not in this case. Ivan Shapovalov has too big ambitions. They can be realized only on the condition of an impeccable reputation. All work was paid in full. Shapovalov took a chance and entrusted the boy to write songs for the project, for which a lot of money was borrowed. Provided him with conditions for work, providing a computer and a small home studio. At the same time, Galoyan only made sketches of songs. They were very dirty, with bad sound. Yes, and the creativity of the songs - melodies, harmonies - was originally given to him by Ivan. Therefore, he is quite legitimately a co-author. Finally, Galoyan himself voluntarily signed agreements with him on the transfer of exclusive rights to songs. Of course, there was no talk of a reward of $1200. Galoyan was paid the way all arrangers without a name are paid, and very well. He and his lawyer have already thoroughly tarnished their reputation by bringing some kind of fake contract, which the court declared invalid. They want to achieve a ban on Tatu concerts, and then try to catch us in violation and demand a fine. Well, we'll be like in the movie" bandits", unauthorized performances on rooftops or right on the street. It's even funny ...

Ivan Shapovalov was born on May 28, 1966 in the city of Kotovo, Volgograd Region. Father - Nikolai Alexandrovich, artist. Mother - Nadezhda Richardovna, school teacher of physics. He graduated from the Correspondence Physics and Mathematics School.

Producer of the Tatu group

In 1999, Shapovalov and Voitinsky held a casting for the role of a soloist, as a result of which Lena Katina was chosen. Several songs were recorded (including "I am your enemy", "Yugoslavia" - on the theme of NATO military aggression against Yugoslavia). Later, another girl was invited to the group - Yulia Volkova. Shapovalov becomes the producer of the Tatu group and the director of the Neformat company (the production center of I. Shapovalov). Subsequently, Voitinsky refused to cooperate, citing the fact that the project, in his opinion, is immoral.

Best of the day

In 2000, the song “I went crazy” was recorded, the authors of the text were Elena Kiper and Valery Polienko, the music was written by 17-year-old schoolboy Sergey Galoyan. A video was filmed the same year. In 2001, the album "200 in the opposite direction" was released. In May 2001, Shapovalov signed a contract with Russian branch label Universal Music. Under the contract, Shapovalov must release three albums, while one of the conditions of the contract was a clause according to which the producer could not change the composition of the group. Shapovalov later filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Russia, accusing the record label of violating the contract and demanding additional remuneration. In September, a single was released and a video clip "Half an hour" was shot. In 2002, the English-language album "200 km / h in the Wrong Lane" was released. In 2003, the single and video clip "All the Things She Said" were released. The group is very popular, there are numerous tours.

In January 2004, the reality show "Tattoo in the Middle Kingdom" started on the STS channel, in live the band planned to record a new album. On the 13th floor of the Beijing Hotel, Shapovalov set up a studio, where he also received demo recordings of young performers, from which the Celestial Empire No. 1 collection was compiled. However, in the end, the album was not recorded, Shapovalov resigned as the general director of the Neformat company, which owned the Tatu brand (t.A.T.u.), the name of the group remained with the singers. Boris Rensky became the new producer.

In October 2004, at the BMI Honors Top European Songwriters and Publishers at Annual London Awards ceremony, Shapovalov was awarded a medal in the Pop Awards nomination. The composition All the Things She Said, of which he was a co-author, was aired more than 2 million times and took first place in the pop music category, ahead of No Doubt's It`s My Life.

2004-2008

In 2004, Shapovalov began producing the singer Nato - Natalya Shevlyakova from Chelyabinsk, who met Shapovalov during his work in China. In his plans was the performance of the singer in the outfit of a suicide bomber. On the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States, Shapovalov tried to organize a concert in the Hall of Columns, where the singer was scheduled to perform in a shahid dress. In this regard, a representative of the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation expressed his concern, the action was called politically incorrect, and the concert was canceled. After the seizure of a school in Beslan by terrorists on September 1, Shapovalov did not rule out the possibility of holding a concert in this city. Shapovalov tried to hold a similar concert in England. The Muslim Council of Great Britain condemned the idea, calling it "an attempt to make money from the tragedy of other people", and called for the concert to be ignored. The performance took place in January 2005.

Shapovalov also produced the rock group 7B. In 2005, Shapovalov announced that he intended to film a reality show on an icebreaker that would produce a tour of the Northern Arctic Ocean However, the project remained unrealized.

In 2007, he became a co-owner of the online store Mp3search.ru. In the same year, the record company Gala Records filed a lawsuit against Mp3search.ru, accusing it of illegally distributing Maksim's recordings.

Notable promotions and criticism

Shapovalov used various provocative techniques to draw attention to his projects.

In the video clips of Tatu, in addition to lesbian themes, there were stories related to masturbation and terrorism (explosion of a children's carousel). One of the main objects of criticism was the image of lesbians used by the group. So, doctor Dilya Enikeeva, commenting on the work of the group, wrote: "this is a well-thought-out policy against the nation, against healthy sex, family and motherhood." At the same time, a number of sources noted that, despite their image, Tatu was not perceived as a lesbian group in the lesbian community itself, and Shapovalov was subjected to sharp criticism. One of the reasons for this attitude was that the group actually acted within the framework of a heterosexist culture: “in constructing the stage image of lesbians, the group is guided by a patriarchal frame in which a woman is always an object for pleasure, an object of gaze, and the role of the beholder belongs to a man. .. The image of the group corresponds more to the “woman for a man” model than “a woman for a woman.” Sociologist Igor Kon singled out another component of the group's image: "In my opinion, the success of Tatu is due not so much to a demonstrative game of forbidden lesbian relationships, but to the fact that an image of self-sufficient tough girls has been created."

In 2003, in the UK, Shapovalov made various provocative statements on the topic of pedophilia, which caused protests from a number of public organizations(in particular, from the organization for the protection of children from violence Kidscape). Kidscape director Michelle Elliott said: “We object and don't find it funny at all that Ivan is portraying them as a childish sexual fantasy. These girls are talented. It is a pity that they are advertised at the expense of hundreds of thousands of sexually abused children.” In an interview with a British tabloid, Shapovalov stated that he "prefers underage girls." British Channel 4 presenter Richard Madley called the duet "nauseous", describing the video for the song All the Things She Said as "the standard of sweet dreams for all British pedophiles." In response, Shapovalov on the group's official website called for a discussion "on the growth of pedophilia in the UK" and expressed his readiness to provide medical care Madeley himself. A similar reaction to the appearance of the group was due to the fact that at that time various anti-pedophile campaigns were carried out in the UK.

In May 2003, Shapovalov was going to shoot a video on Red Square featuring several hundred girls in school skirts. However, the police stopped the event, forcing out all those gathered and detaining the producer himself. On this occasion, Shapovalov noted: “Apparently, the Kremlin does not need Tatu at Eurovision.”

In 2003, Shapovalov tried to nominate Tatu soloists as candidates for the President of Russia. The beginning of the collection of signatures was announced on Russian television. To overcome the age limit of 35, he suggested adding up the age of the singers.

- I like what happens to me! - confessed. - After all, I have now become ... kinder. How good is that!

Claim it former producer group "Tatu" just two years ago, they would not have believed him. After all, this man then admitted:

“I personally prefer the young ones!” Did I sleep with Julia and Katya? I do not remember!..

But what the secular party-goer said Ivan Frolov, nicknamed Irbis:

- Me Shapovalov seduced at the age of 15. I lived with him more than a year. Generally Vania fucked everything that moves. At home he had orgies - just Sodom and Gomorrah! He himself was always drunk, or in a besotted state!

According to friends, the scandalous producer allegedly used cocaine and tried to hook not only his mistresses and lovers, but even "tattoos" into this nonsense.

Abandoned wife "passed" with him all the hospitals

But last summer Shapovalov was diagnosed with brain cancer. And a terrible illness made the producer think about the wasted years.

On the forehead Shapovalova a huge bump has grown. She pressed her eyes. The doctors prescribed a course of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. But the forecast was disappointing:

“We did everything we could. There are very few chances. More likely, Ivan less than three months to live...

But now it's been ... a year and a half! Only a small tubercle remained from the tumor on the head. A month ago, 47-year-old Shapovalov I came to the party without crutches and a hat, which until recently hid my bald head! The producer looked healthy and full of energy. And promised:

- Soon I will sing and write a song: “My love is walking somewhere” ...

He was helped to fight the disease ... his wife abandoned for a very long time Valeria and two sons - 25 years old Vladimir and 10 year old Vania.

- Shapovalov's wife remained alone all her life - Valeria Prokopievna, - confirms Ivan Irbis. - It was she who “passed” with her husband all the hospitals and procedures!

- Lord, how else? - sighs Lera. - It's closer Vani And I don't have any kids! And yes, he does too! Yes, I was with him all the time, refined myself, adjusted my work schedule. I didn’t even stutter about the vacation - after all, we needed to live on something! I cried, prayed and believed that God would help! BUT Vanechka I read all the stories to my dad in intensive care ... And then I told jokes when my husband was transferred to the general ward ... Every return Ivana from the clinic home turned into a holiday!

- It's a pity that the youngest, blue-eyed daughter Umochku I almost don’t see it,” the showman complained. She would give me even more strength!

Mind nine years ago gave birth to the producer of "Tatu" mistress Olga Maslikhova.

— This red-haired beauty was from Shapovalova crazy, he recalls. Irbis. - And fought with other applicants for a place under Vanya! somehow Olga, which was already last month pregnancy, with a wild yell rushed to Shapovalov to the room, but at that time he was having fun with someone, and ordered the guards Maslikhov drive away.

It is not surprising that since then only daughter the producer was allowed to see every six months!

God's gift and horses

However, Maslikhov Shapovalov didn't blame. He generally stopped feeling negative towards people. terrible sinner suddenly discovered... real life!

“Yes, cancer has become for me ... God's gift,” the producer admitted. - The disease taught me to appreciate simple earthly joys: delicious tea, black bread, music, nature. And the people around them with their pluses and minuses, help, pain and joy ... For example, “tatushki” girls visited me. What a joy it was to see them! And my attitude to the world has changed… horses. I am now an avid rider! I love interacting with horses so much! These animals helped me become more tolerant and kinder. And with such a worldview it became very good to live. I was able to forget about my illness!..

And this is his salvation. If not physically, then spiritually, for sure ...

Ivan Shapovalov, the producer of the once mega-popular Tatu group, has been fighting a deadly disease - brain cancer for almost a year now. Now Ivan, having completed chemotherapy courses, moves on crutches and thanks everyone for their help. What it cost Shapovalov's wife Valeria to go through hard times with her husband, she said in an interview. Ivan Shapovalov. Photo: ITAR-TASSRecall that last summer Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov was diagnosed with brain cancer. This was announced by his close friend Leonid Dzyunik. In a recent interview, Dzyunik spoke about his state of health: “Vanya is now in Moscow, in intensive care. I visited him recently. The situation is serious - a tumor on the head. Yulia Volkova came to him, helped with transportation to the hospital. Now Vanya is undergoing chemo ", radiation therapy. Lena Kiper (the author of the hits "Tatu") called me recently, she said that "chemistry" helps. He had a terrible tumor on his forehead, it pressed on his eye. "Despite terrible diagnosis, Shapovalov did not fall into despair, but actively engaged in treatment. Now Ivan has already risen to his feet, although he moves on crutches. However, the fight against the disease continues. “I don’t refuse money for treatment. But it’s better to announce a fundraiser to those who need it now. And I went through it, and thanks to everyone who helped me with this,” StarHit quotes Ivan Shapovalov. Valery’s wife was with her husband everyday. Answering the question of what it took for her to hold on and not lose heart, she said: “Do you mean, am I an iron woman? No, I cry, and quite often. It’s just that I don’t have a person closer to Vanya, and I hope he there is no one closer to me either. I adjusted my schedule at work, I didn’t take vacations, because I had to live on something." Valeria Shapovalova told how she and her family supported Ivan: "We always came with younger son Vanya, he is ten years old. When dad was in intensive care for a month and a half, his son sat next to him and read fairy tales to him - Japanese, Indian. Then, already in an ordinary ward, the son told dad jokes, funny stories. Whenever possible, we tried to take Ivan out of the hospital. Between chemotherapy courses, which lasted two or three weeks, he spent five days at home, and then every day was like a holiday for us. "Despite the fact that she is a pediatrician by profession, Valeria admitted that she hoped not only for medicine:" Subconsciously, I still rely on the power of prayers, although I don’t know them. Vanya's sister Vera went to church, brought an icon to the clinic. I am grateful to everyone who supported us then! Even completely strangers They called me and offered any help."
