Now they write that the death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky is a lie and disinformation. Here, for example, on one of the leading news and analytical resources of Ukraine there was such information today, at 1 hour 57 minutes.
It turns out that everything came from Komsomolskaya Pravda, but what the KP leadership was guided by when publishing this news is a question.
They say that Hvorostovsky's wife denied this news in her social network.
The rumors about the death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky, which appeared on the night of October 11, were denied by his wife Florence.
Actually, no more proof is required.
It seems that it all started with the journalists of Komsomolskaya Pravda. In pursuit of "fried" news, they no longer want to check the information. Faster to the front lines.
Another lie when famous people are buried. His wife has already given a retraction on Facebook. She wrote that he was sitting next to me and the rumors about death were not true. Even such reputable publications as Komsomolskaya Pravda wrote about the death of Hvorostovsky. This is how they write, without checking, just to be the first.

There was information that Dmitry Hvorostovsky had died. He fought cancer for several years. The press has already begun to write articles in his memory, but the information turned out to be false. Hvorostovsky's wife reported indignantly that her husband was at home, next to her.
It’s hard to say who needed it, but in one night Dmitry Hvorostovsky managed to both die and resurrect with the “light hand” of our press and a close friend of the singer, who decided to report his death to the singer for reasons known only to him.
This is the kind of information that is not played with, usually checked and rechecked many times before writing such terrible words.
The wife of Dmitry Hvorostovsky denied this tragic news, which we are all very happy about.
Tonight, on October 11, information appeared in the press that after a long struggle with cancer, Dmitry Hvorostovsky died. However, after some time, a refutation appeared that this information had nothing to do with reality.

FAMILY COMMENT
On behalf of the Hvorostovsky family, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that Dmitry Hvorostovsky - beloved operatic baritone, husband, father, son and friend - has died at the age of 55. After battling brain cancer for two and a half years, he passed away quietly this morning, November 22, surrounded by family at his home in London, UK. The warmth of his voice and his spirit will forever remain with us.
DOSSIER "KP"
One of the best baritones of our time, the owner of a sensual timbre, who owns all the secrets of bel canto, was born into an average Soviet family. In Krasnoyarsk . Dad is an engineer, mom is a doctor. What's unusual? Only a unique voice that sounded very early. From the age of 4, Dima performed Russian romances and folk songs quite professionally. And while classmates were puffing over puzzles and equations, he played scales and sang at the music school. Maybe even then he understood: he had a different purpose. Or maybe they liked music lessons more.
The outstanding teachers of the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Arts helped to hone the technique of singing. Among them, the main one is Professor Ekaterina Iofel.
A happy father with children (from left to right): Maria (daughter of the singer's first wife, whom he adopted), 21-year-old Danila and 21-year-old Alexandra (children from their first marriage with ballerina Svetlana Ivanova), 10-year-old Nina, in the second row - 15 year old Maxim.

After the institute, Dmitry's career went like clockwork: solo parts in the Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theater, victories in international competitions.
In 1989 he won first place at the Singer of the World International Singing Competition in Cardiff, Wales. What is behind this? Firstly, world fame, and secondly, contracts with the best opera scenes. La Scala, Theater Royal, Covent Garden, Metropolitan Opera… Any piece for any audience. At least on a large opera stage, at least in a chamber hall or an open-air concert. Hvorostovsky was capable of everything and talent: from the most complex opera parts to Russian romances, from Italian songs to Soviet hits. He sang romances by Fauré, Tchaikovsky, Taneyev, Liszt and Rachmaninov. One of his favorite roles was Rigoletto in the Verdi opera of the same name ... Once he threw out a completely unexpected trick - he began to collaborate with pop composer Igor Krutoy. Hvorostovsky released a video for his song "You and I".
It seemed that life gave him everything with a full spoon: both talent and wife - a beautiful half-French half-Italian Florence, and five children on the benches. Not to mention the fact that Hvorostovsky himself looked incredibly impressive not only on stage, but also in life. Strong, handsome, dives into the hole, goes on a boat along the Yenisei. And suddenly an illness ... A few years ago, his concerts were canceled in Moscow due to problems with his voice. Then no one suspected anything fatal - problems with the voice of opera performers happen. But two years ago, like a bolt from the blue, Dmitry was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Everyone believed that he would cope with this misfortune. He is strong, he is a Siberian. Alas, the disease was stronger.

There are cases when the tumor "hangs" for years, and then one fine day it grows three times, and the person can die, he added.
Surgical oncologist Konstantin Titov spoke about the most common and most aggressive brain tumor - glioblastoma. Usually it is this type of neoplasm that quickly and mercilessly takes human lives.
As the doctor said, unfortunately, malignant tumors are almost always in the initial stages. are asymptomatic. Especially - education in the brain.
Despite the fact that the brain is a small organ, it has a small free space, - said Konstantin Titov. - Most often, the tumor grows in it, pushes the brain tissue apart. When headaches, dizziness, blurred vision or gait appear, these are already large and, most likely, inoperable tumors.
