Ruslana will not perform at concert in memory of Kuzma

Famous singer Ruslana Lyzhychko announced today that she is forced to withdraw from the memorial concert for her friend Andriy Kuzmenko, who died in a car crash. The reason for this step is the death of another person close to Ruslana, Vasyl Kondratiuk, who was the head of her group, a composer and arranger.

Vasyl Kondratiuk was in a coma for five days; his body fought desperately for life, but the doctors were unable to save him.

«Я хочу звернутися, до всіх, хто прийде на завтрашній концерт пам’яті Андрія Кузьменка Скрябіна, до організаторів, до родини, до тих, хто чекатиме мого виступу - поставтеся з розумінням, так багато смертей за такий короткий час нелегко усвідомити і перенести. Я не знаю, чи зможу завтра співати, хоч це і реквієм, написаний пам’яті ще одного так само близького друга і великого музиканта. І аранжував цей реквієм Василь, який ніколи не помре в наших серцях, як і його музика.
Хай буде так. Let it be. Амінь» (I want to address everyone who will come to tomorrow’s memorial concert for Andriy Kuzmenko of Skryabin, the organisers, the family, and those waiting for my performance – please be understanding, it is not easy to comprehend and cope with so many deaths in such a short time. I do not know if I will be able to sing tomorrow, even though this is a requiem written in memory of another equally close friend and great musician. And Vasyl arranged this requiem; he will never die in our hearts, just as his music will not.), - wrote Ruslana on her Facebook page.
