IN Lately in funds mass media more and more disturbing news about the death of Dima Bilan began to appear. The state of health of the singer, indeed, causes concern among his fans. Dmitry has recently lost a lot of weight. In this regard, reports began to appear regularly that he had a fatal illness. What really happened to Dima Bilan, what last news about his health and is there any news of his death and funeral?
Health problems
The latest news about the health of Dima Bilan seriously worries fans of show business. The young film actor and singer lost a lot of weight, his cheeks sagged, in addition, Dmitry went bald. Because of this, rumors spread that Bilan had cancer. In March 2018, the latest news about the death of Dima Bilan began to appear in the media. Several causes of death were named ... Some publications wrote that the actor and singer died in terrible disaster, others relied on the fact that Dmitry still could not cope with his fatal illness.
After the appearance of such information, journalists from reputable publishing houses began to look for access to the official representatives of the singer. Their surprise knew no bounds. It turned out that with Dmitry, not only everything is in in perfect order, but he is also on holiday in Spain. He regularly posts photos of this on Instagram.
The concert director of the singer assured the press that all planned trips would go according to plan. But this did not stop some members of the press. A trip to Iceland was given as a departure for treatment from a deadly disease. Fans are very worried about the health of their idol. They actively try to support him in in social networks, from all over the world they send him various gifts.
Bilan himself says about his appearance that the changes that have taken place are in no way connected with his state of health. Fashion just doesn't stand still long hair and the beard are gone. And he strives to keep up with fashion trends.
The singer himself explains the weight loss by changing the diet. Doctors diagnosed Dmitry with gastritis. This disease requires adherence to a diet, restriction in the use of certain foods. As a result, compliance with all the recommendations of doctors led to the fact that Bilan's weight began to decrease.
Termination of tour
The latest news about the death of Dima Bilan in 2018 was also connected with the fact that the singer stopped going on tour. Changed appearance, lack of concerts led to a large number of rumors. The reason turned out to be simple.
Dmitry deliberately took a short vacation. Due to stomach problems, he had to leave for treatment. As you know, gastritis is a rather serious disease that requires a whole complex of treatment. It's not only proper nutrition, but also peace, a good rest. This is in no way compatible with touring different cities. Therefore, Dmitry was forced to temporarily stop giving concerts.
After a thorough treatment, Bilan decided to rest. Full of strength and energy now the singer is ready for new creative success. A plan of touring concerts for the entire autumn of 2018 has already been drawn up. In addition, Dima is working on the release of a new album, three songs have already been released. During the rest, Dmitry had a lot of time to reflect on his life, to rethink it. The new philosophy helped him inspire new compositions.
According to the singer himself, today serious problems he is not in good health. Bilan Dima himself perceives the latest news in his death and cancer with irritation. Nobody cares to hear rumors about funerals and fatal illnesses.
chronic insomnia
In order to dispel rumors of his impending death, the singer organized a tour called "Healthy, and thank God, alive." The only thing Dmitry complains about during the interview is chronic fatigue, which is associated with sleep disturbance. Bilan has been suffering from insomnia for many years now. He often writes about this in his microblog.
The singer's sleep disturbance is caused by the fact that he does not know how to relax. Dmitry always thinks about unfinished business. As Dima himself writes, for the first time in many years he was able to fall asleep soundly on tour near Cheboksary. As Bilan says, on the eve of that night, he managed to finish all his affairs. Apparently, a complete sense of freedom from everyday problems made it possible for the singer to relax.
Bilan has cancer
The latest news about the funeral of Dima Bilan is primarily associated with rumors about his cancer. Dmitry personally aggravated the situation itself, completely changing his image and getting rid of his beard and hair. Bilan left participation in the television project "Voice" for health reasons.
As it turned out, Dmitry was diagnosed with intervertebral hernia. The singer needs an operation, in connection with this he was forced to temporarily suspend participation in the body of the project. But it has nothing to do with cancer. The pain was really terrible. Dmitry found five hernias. He admitted this in September 2018.
But, despite this, Dmitry on September 1 released new clip in refutation of all rumors about his death. The frames of the video show that the singer not only feels great, but also manages to devote time to traveling. Due to a hernia, Bilan's arm often hurts, but the disease itself does not pose a mortal danger. The latest news about Dima Bilan suggests that he still has an operation to remove a hernia. But you need to be prepared for it. So far, because of this, I had to leave participation in the Voice project. But Bilan plans to return as soon as the health problems are resolved.
What Bilan himself says about his health
Dmitry Bilan is very tired of the latest news about his death and funeral. On this occasion, he gave an interview in Sochi at the New Wave contest. At this time, Bilan looked no longer as thin as he is rumored to be. Dmitry comments on his state of health in this way. Behind last years he had to deal with a huge number of people in his work. Dima gets tired of such communication both morally and physically. Bilan says that he is a very receptive person. He takes over all emotions, especially negative ones.
Dmitry believes that he had problems with his back precisely because of the Voice project. On the program, the jury sits with its back to the performers, and each of them sends his impulses. So they sang a hernia to Bilan. Television, according to Bilan, is a very difficult thing. All the people who work here quickly become mentally and physically exhausted.
Hernias began to disturb Dmitry very much. They counted as many as five pieces. The pain was so severe that the singer could no longer sleep normally. I had to constantly look for a comfortable position. My arm was in severe pain due to back problems. During sleep, she had to be constantly laid in such a way as to reduce pain. Dmitry could not bend over, could not even close his wallet on his own.
Dmitry perceives his health problems positively. During the two and a half months that he spent in treatment, he had such a huge amount of free time that he had never had before. Dmitry took him to full immersion into himself. He was able to understand a lot for himself, to rethink. This was followed by a midlife crisis. At this time, Dima was 35 years old. Dmitry himself says that he felt the crisis very clearly. Maybe at 40 he will speak in a completely different way, but on this moment he feels exactly the complete rethinking of his whole life.
These two and a half months seemed to give Bilan the opportunity to be born again. He rethought his behavior from all sides. And in the end, after all these reflections, it turns out very interesting album. It contains all the new emotions that the singer felt. This is very good for music. Each album should have its own mood, its own spirit. He tried and he succeeded.
Bilan plans to give most time for filming. He has already starred in several films. According to Bilan, this is such an addictive activity that it is simply impossible to get out of. He wants to devote the next year to filming, as he has already received a lot of decent offers. The death of Dima Bilan is a duck, he is full of plans for the future ...
But rumors about death have their own positive sides. Dmitry is very pleased with how his fans and admirers react to this news. How much experience is visible from their side. The singer is bombarded with letters, messages, gifts. Yes, and black PR is doing its job. Whatever the rumor, it's an opportunity for a star to be in the public eye.
Rumors about Dima Bilan
The identity of the sex symbol of show business has always been covered in secrets and rumors. The yellow press loves to invent all sorts of implausible stories about him. And every year this piggy bank is replenished:
- Bilan and drugs. In 2009, Dmitry Bilan was named Ksenia Sobchak a drug addict. On the same topic, there was a sharp statement by Timati, who said that Bilan was the reason why drugs are so popular among teenagers. In refutation of this, Dmitry takes part in the action with the support of Federal Service for drug control. Bilan says that he is not indifferent to what and how young people live now. This arose for him after he became the host of the Voice program. The singer believes that all the problems of young people are due to ignorance, inexperience.
- Orientation - a lot of ridiculous rumors always revolve around the singer's orientation. There was information in the media that the singer had a same-sex marriage in Riga, he was seen in the company of artists Bolshoi Theater who are famous gay. In the fight against rumors, Dmitry had to refuse to participate in Dolce & Gabbana advertising shoots. This is due to the fact that all models of the brand are homosexuals.
- The most popular latest news in 2018 was - is Dima Bilan alive? The press managed not only to invent fatal diagnosis young singer, but also arrange a funeral for him.
Dima Bilan is today a fairly popular performer of many favorite songs. And his name at birth and until June two thousand and eight was Viktor Nikolaevich Belan. Many fans are interested not only in the artist's biography, but also in private life, Bilan's nationality and any interesting facts, especially scandalous stories. Such is the price of dizzying success.
Brief biography of the singer: childhood
The pop idol was born twenty fourth of December 1981, in the small village of Moskovsky, which is part of the town of Ust-Dzheguta and is located in Karachay-Cherkessia. Literally twelve months later, the family moves to Naberezhnye Chelny, and another five years pass - and they are already in the city of Maisky, and this is Kabardino-Balkaria. Here Vitya is studying at school number two until the ninth grade, and then goes to the fourteenth, where he completes his school education.
Today, the singer is more familiar under the name Dima Bilan, due to the fact that in June two thousand and eight he began to use this pseudonym instead of the original data. But already in 2012, he began a new project, where, on the contrary, Vitya Belan now uses his native name as a matronym.
The first musical steps of the future celebrity
In the fifth grade, Dima begins learning to play the accordion at a music school and even becomes a soloist in the choir. Participates in various competitive events, reads poetry, sings songs and is involved in all holidays.
And in nineteen ninety-nine he goes to the capital to become a participant in the famous Chunga-Changa festival, which was created specifically for young talents in connection with the anniversary of cooperation between Entin and Tukhmanov.
The next time Dima visited Moscow after graduation. He enters and begins to engage in creative self-realization.
Dima Bilan. Nationality and parents of a talented performer
The mother of today's idol was at first an ordinary worker in greenhouses, and then she went into social spheres. And dad has a standard engineering profession. Dmitry has two more sisters, Elena and Anna. Of course, like all parents, Nikolai Mikhailovich and Nina Dmitrievna wanted their son to have a normal, more mundane education that would help him not only get on his feet, but also feed his family. Therefore they for a long time resisted Dima's desire to become a singer.
Bilan's nationality, despite the fact that he was born in Karachay-Cherkessia, is Russian. Accordingly, his mother, Nina Dmitrievna Belan, and his father, Nikolai Mikhailovich Belan, are also Russians. As for the surname of this family, it belongs to a very interesting group, which came from "worldly" names. Due to the content of the root "bel", such surnames were very common in Ancient Rus'. They could be given to a person according to his external data. White means light, very pale or white-faced, possibly even blond.
And another possible meaning is that the surname can refer to the adjective "white", which means expensive, clean or good. And over time, it was transformed into "Belan". Therefore, who is Dima Bilan by nationality can be judged, first of all, by the origin of his surname.
People's Artist Born in a Small Town
Once upon a time he was small ordinary boy, as many of his teachers said, very modest and shy. Today, his every step is known to everyone. And despite the fact that Dima does not like to be frank and does not let anyone get too close to him, there is always enough information for fans to think about.
In 2006, he takes second place in the Eurovision Song Contest, and two years later he takes first place. Such an event happened for the first time in the history of Russia, and, of course, then the whole country jumped for joy along with the winner. And he instantly became the favorite singer of millions. And questions rained down: who is he - Dima Bilan? Nationality of the star, where was he born? And the lack of information, as a rule, gives rise to a lot of rumors.
The idol of millions ceased to be himself
This story began fifteen years ago, in an ordinary secondary school in the city of Maisky, which is located in the vicinity of Nalchik. Saying the name of the idol - Dima Bilan, whose nationality and origin worries a lot of people - no one knew about Vita Belan. But it was with him that the ascent of the stellar staircase began.
It was he who, having graduated from school in 1999, went to conquer the capital. Here, a talented guy was immediately noted. He produced latest album groups "Kino" and popular artist nineties Vlad Stashevsky. And only then Belan decides to choose for himself creative pseudonym, which in many ways helped him to liberate himself.
How did the death of the producer affect further work
But when the producer dies three years later, his heirs declared the name "Dima Bilan" their property. There were a huge number of courts, threats, and popular singer I had to go through a lot of stress and anxiety. They tried to take absolutely everything from him: songs, creativity and even a pseudonym, since according to his passport he remained Viktor Nikolaevich Belan.
Then the artist took a rather difficult step and received a document in a new name. Moreover, the passport was issued specifically in the name of Dima, and not Dmitry. And then there were new rumors. Why did he change his last name? Why did you give up your name? And yet, who is Dima Bilan by nationality?
Therapeutic effect of new passport data
How is life different ordinary person from the life of popular stars? First of all, the fact that their every step, any action, personal relationships, any scandal - absolutely everything becomes public.
Dima had to experience the same thing as soon as he became a celebrity. Everyone wanted to know not only what songs he would perform, but also what he was doing in Everyday life who he was before, where Dima Bilan studied, the nationality of his parents and much more.
Even school teachers recalled this boy as very shy and modest. To liberate himself on stage, Dmitry had to do a lot of work on himself. He succeeded. Now it is no longer possible to recognize in this singer that shy teenager who was so worried before all the appearances on the stage.
Nevertheless, each person needs his own personal space. There, in front of the public, Dima Bilan is cool, everything impossible is possible for him. But deep down, this young Vitya is still present, who wants to be modest, perhaps not even recognizable by the public. Therefore, this duality in many ways even helps to have a certain therapeutic effect on the life of the singer.
A new project called Vitya Belan
The project created by the singer is probably an indicator of how sometimes you want to be yourself, return to yourself. Anyone who follows Dmitry's life closely enough knows perfectly well that there were a lot of bright moments in his life. And not only positive ones.
Various courts, proof own rights, lawyers, legal terms ... And he faced all this, being completely unprepared. And the desire to be the Vitya that he was before is quite justified. After all, it was there that there were no problems, there were no intrigues, there were no those who wanted to take something away, appropriate it.
What is more important for fans of talent
And it doesn't matter who he is: Vitya or Dima Bilan. What is his nationality. Who does he live with and how? The main thing is his creativity. He is not only a wonderful performer, but also writes wonderful songs, composes melodies.
