The key facts

- Without the stage, he says, he would have made bulletproof vests
Three days with family in a month
Singer Dmitry Koldun has spoken about how he combines his touring schedule with family life. According to him, due to a packed run of performances last month, he spent only three days with his loved ones. For about five years, concerts have prevented him from being with his wife on her birthday, so the family has to reschedule the celebration. This was reported by Channel Five, which prepared a feature about the artist.
“Either you work, or you sit at home”
Koldun commented on his situation with the words: “You can’t both eat the fish and go on tour. Either you work, or you sit at home.” He would like to return to his loved ones more often, but it is he who provides for the family. His wife Victoria, an epidemiologist by training, devoted herself to the children after the birth of their son Yan and daughter Alisa. The family treats the head of the household’s constant absences with understanding.
What is in the rider
The singer’s touring rider lists vegetables, fish, sliced meats and fruit. A separate request is his favorite coconut water, which, according to the artist, helps restore his energy. Before performances, Koldun personally checks the equipment and stage clothing.
What he would do without the stage
Earlier, as Life.ru notes, Koldun said that if he had not become a singer, he would have made bulletproof vests. In the same publication, the outlet also recalled another episode of his career — the story of how people tried to take away the artist’s guitar back in the days of Star Factory.
