On July 5, the artist made an official appeal to the population of Ukraine.

Health

First serious problems with health began with the singer in June 2002. Kobzon underwent an operation, after which general sepsis developed. The artist fell into a coma that lasted fifteen days. In 2005, Joseph Davydovich experienced another serious test: he underwent a difficult operation to remove a tumor. The procedure was performed in one of the most famous clinics in Germany. Surgical intervention greatly weakened the singer's immunity, as a result of which a blood clot formed in the vessels, and the tissues in the kidneys and lungs became inflamed. The will to live helped Joseph Kobzon survive this illness. In 2009, the singer was re-operated in a German clinic. Despite everything, after five days he went to Jurmala and performed "live" on stage. Known Russian singer- Larisa Dolina - claims that Joseph Davydovich has a rare strength of character that can subdue any difficulties. However, the years take their toll, and in 2010, during a concert in the city of Astana, the performer felt unwell and twice lost consciousness right on stage. Doctors immediately provided the artist with the necessary assistance. After some time, it turned out that the progressive cancer led to anemia, which provoked fainting. Despite everything, the singer continues to perform.

Family life

The singer's personal life was quite stormy. The first wife of Kobzon is Veronika Kruglova. This singer became famous for her performance of such songs as “I see nothing, I hear nothing”, “Perhaps”, “Top-top, the baby is stomping”. According to Veronica, her marriage to Joseph Davydovich did not work out because the artist's mother opposed her. She claims that this three-year union (from 1965 to 1967) was very unsuccessful for her.

After the divorce, a new companion appeared in the singer's life - a popular and beloved actress. Kobzon and Gurchenko lived together for only three years, and after that they did not speak for forty years. Lyudmila Markovna considered this marriage the biggest mistake in her life. Iosif Davydovich claims that they were united by great love with Gurchenko, but constant traveling greatly complicated their relationship. In addition, the singer categorically refused to communicate with Kobzon's relatives.

After the second divorce, the artist made several attempts to arrange his personal life. AT different time his spouses were Lyudmila Senchina and Olga Vardasheva, but these unions also turned out to be very short-lived. In the end, Joseph Davydovich found himself a companion who was far from artistic bohemia. She became an ordinary girl named Ninel, she is thirteen years younger than the star. This union has been going on for more than forty years. Ninel Mikhailovna managed to create order and comfort in the artist's house and gave Kobzon two children.

Children and grandchildren

Joseph Davydovich - happy father and loving grandfather. Kobzon's children did not follow in the footsteps of their famous dad. True, son Andrei (1974) in the past was engaged in music, was a drummer, played along with the musicians of the Resurrection group. However, later he left creativity and began to do business. At first he managed the work of the Giusto nightclub, and now he works in real estate. Andrei owns several public institutions. According to his projects, a Japanese restaurant was created in Bolshoi Tolmachevsky Lane, the Gazgolder restaurant and the Zhiguli pub located on Novy Arbat. The businessman is also a co-owner of the Maxim French restaurant in Moscow. Andrei is an independent and independent person, which often irritates Joseph Davydovich. The father and son had a difficult relationship, but this does not prevent them from communicating often. Andrey's wife is fashion model Polyanskaya Elena. There are three children in the family: Polina (1999), Anita (2001), Mikhail (2008).

The daughter of the artist - Natalya Rappoport - received an excellent education, knows several languages. At first she worked as a press secretary in the team of Valentin Yudashkin, but soon she married an Australian citizen, lawyer Yuri Rappoport. After that, the girl devoted herself completely to the family. She loves her father, says he a real man, and the last word always stays with him. Natalia has four children: Idel (1999), Michel (2000), Ornella-Maria (2004), Alain Joseph (2010).

How is life for the children of famous parents? Sometimes they try to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, sometimes I choose my own path. , the son of pop star Joseph Kobzon, tried to make music, and very successfully, but business became the basis of his activity.

Andrei Iosifovich Kobzon was born in 1974, his mother was the third wife of the singer - Ninel (Nelli) Mikhailovna. Two years later, sister Natalya was born. From school, the guy was actively involved in music, but he did not want to sing in principle - so as not to be compared with his father. Andrei became a good drummer and at one time was the head of the Giusto club (in the 1990s), worked as part of the Resurrection group. However, after some time, Kobzon Jr. hit the restaurateur, becoming the author of the projects of several restaurants on Novy Arbat (Zhiguli, Gazgolder), in Bolshoy Tolmachevsky Lane (restaurant Japanese cuisine), co-owner of the Parisian-Moscow institution "Maxim", or rather, its branch in Moscow. AT recent times began to show interest in real estate.

The guy's relationship with his father has always been strained. Several times he "quarreled in pieces", not accepting interference either in his personal life or in his business. Today, relations are more or less stable, but Andrei tries to avoid discussing his personal life and work in family circle. Another “stumbling block”, according to the man, is his hairstyle, or rather, its complete absence - the father can’t get used to it and “is terribly complex”. Andrei also tries to keep this topic closed for discussion.

Personal life

Andrew has already been married twice. His first wife was Ekaterina Polyanskaya, a model who later became a sought-after fashion designer. They met in the mid-1990s, lived in a civil marriage for several years - this was just the period when Andrei was in a very strained relationship with his famous father. Subsequently, they reconciled, and the whole family was present at a magnificent wedding, held in Russian traditions. Ekaterina took her husband's surname for the sake of the children who were born in 1999 (Polina) and 2001 (Anita). However, the marriage lasted only until 2006 - Andrei's eternal employment played a role. The children stayed with their mother, who reverted to her maiden name, and began, according to her, to see their father even more often than before.

And in 2007, Kobzon Jr. met the actress Anastasia Tsoi. He told his relatives about her only a year later, when they were about to have a child - he was afraid of the reaction of a strict father, because the girl was of Korean origin. Then they played a quiet wedding, and at the beginning of 2008, Joseph Davydovich rejoiced at the next grandson, Mikhail, even if he inherited a specific appearance from his mother.

Everything went on as usual, and the public was simply taken aback by the news of Andrei Kobzon's new divorce. It passed very quietly in 2011, and the event became known only recently, when Anastasia began to go out with her new boyfriend. Until now, the family maintains secrecy, and, according to now ex-sister-in-law Kobzon, her seven-year-old son does not even realize that his parents are divorced. Basically, Misha lives in the country, where busy with work former spouses come on weekends and holidays.

Andrei Kobzon admits that he was never a fan of marriage, but got married every time because of the pressure of his parents. Nevertheless, he loves all his children and tries to devote maximum time to each of them, especially since everyone often visits the Kobzon family estate in the Moscow region.
