Seryozha Paramonov is perhaps the most famous of all the children-artists of the Soviet Union. His sonorous voice, making his goosebumps, is familiar and loved by many Russians to this day. The biography of Seryozha Paramonova is full of sad moments; the cause of death of the “Russian Robertino Loretti” is also shrouded in mystery.
Star childhood
Seryozha was born in Moscow, in the most ordinary family. His mother worked as a cleaner, and his father worked as a loader.
From early childhood, the boy showed great interest in music. In many ways, his grandfather contributed to this, who liked to arrange joint concerts with his grandson for grandmothers sitting on benches near their house.
Sergei often visited the kindergarten teacher, in which he went. She had a piano, and she often invited the boy to her, and he sang his favorite songs.
In the summer holidays, after finishing the second grade, Sergei went to a pioneer camp, where his talent was noticed by a music worker. The woman gave him an accordion.
So that Sergey mastered the basics of playing the instrument, he was put in a circle at the Hammer and Sickle factory. And a year later, the grandmother brought the boy to the Bolshoi Children’s Choir of the USSR State Radio and Television under the direction of V. S. Popov, where he got without much difficulty. Soon Seryozha Paramonov became the soloist of the choir.
His first performance as a soloist took place at the concert "Song-72". “The song of the crocodile Gena” made a lasting impression on the audience. Seryozha became one of the three artists who performed his encore on “Song of the Year”. In addition to Sergei, such an opportunity was provided to Anna German and Muslim Magomayev.
As part of the choir, Seryozha performed at the most prestigious venues of the country together with the most famous artists of the Soviet Union. The boy was very popular. Everyone loved him, sparing no applause, no flowers, no gifts for him. With his clear and clear, angelic voice, he enthralled the audience. A sincere smile, natural artistry and a fervent manner of performing songs made him a unique and unsurpassed young singer.
Crucial moment
On May 17, 1975, Seryozha performed at Robert Rozhdestvensky’s evening with the song “Request”. This evening was the first alarm bell in the biography of Sergei Vladimirovich Paramonov and the cause of death at an early age. It would seem that this reason is completely frivolous, and many do not attach special importance to it - a mutation of the voice.
In the teenage period, the vocal cords of men are very easy to injure, therefore, during puberty, young men are better off not singing, but Sergei still continued to perform. This led to the fact that he plucked high notes, felt discomfort and grief because of this.
I had to leave the choir, and other soloists now performed songs that were written specifically for Seryozha.
Leaving the choir was a big shock for the boy. He went to rehearsals, already as a spectator, sat with difficulty holding back tears, annoyed at the natural features of the male voice. The young man had a difficult time experiencing this period; he equated the absence of former glory with oblivion.
To live on
The difficult biography of Seryozha Paramonov and the personal cause of death will probably remain incomprehensible if his life after leaving the choir is not taken into account.
In 1975, the young man entered a music school. After completing three classes, he entered the conductor-choral department of the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music College, but did not finish it either.
Sergey continued to make music, now he sang in a vocal and instrumental group. He toured a lot, so his studies did not work out.
Adult Seryozha
Sergei did not leave creativity in adulthood either:
- For some time he led concerts, then his program, performed songs by V.Ya. Shainsky.
- He played in various vocal and instrumental ensembles: "Inspiration", "Young Voices", "Cinema".
- He sang in restaurants, worked with gypsy ensembles and the ballet "STS".
- He performed songs from his “star childhood” at various venues, released a cassette with these songs (though under the pseudonym “Sergey Bidonov”).
- He worked on the radio "Youth" and made programs about famous musicians.
- Created his own organization for the holidays "Kastalsky Key".
- He was an editor in the Sokolniki park, organizing discos for pioneers.
- He wrote music and arrangement for old songs.
- Collaborated with popular composers and bands.
Sergey constantly worked and earned money, but could not find peace and peace of mind. In a word, it was not the same, everyone’s beloved and radiant Seryozha Paramonov. The biography and cause of death of the singer, meanwhile, is still not fully understood.
Personal life
Sergey was married twice. The first wife was Olga Boborykina, singer, poet. She performed her own songs as part of the duet "BiS". Olga and Sergey were married on June 8, 1991, but did not live together for a year - already in May 1992 the family broke up.
A couple of years later, in 1994, Sergey Paramonov again tied the knot with a woman of a creative profession. This time, his chosen one was the soloist of the group "Scheherazade" Maria. A year after the wedding, the wife gave Paramonova the son of Alexander, in which he did not look for a soul.
The family did not last long. In 1997, Maria left Sergey. The artist was seriously worried about a divorce, or rather, separation from his beloved son.
This was another sore wound in the biography of Sergei Paramonov, the cause of death and the tragic fate of which is still a mystery to us.
Health problems
Since childhood, Sergey was in poor health. Already in adulthood, he fell ill with a closed form of tuberculosis, and he even had a second group of disabilities. The problem was aggravated by alcohol and, as some argue, drugs, addiction to which appeared immediately after leaving the choir.
The difficult biography of Seryozha Paramonov and his personal life (the cause of death lies precisely in failures in the love field, according to a number of artist’s acquaintances), may justify his fascination with addictions, but it was worth finding another way out of these situations. Alas, giving advice is already too late.
Amazing buoyancy
Sergey loved life very much, and everyone who surrounded the artist was infected with this love of life. The doors to his house were always open, it was not in vain that he was considered the soul of the company, because Sergey found a common theme with any person, knew how to paint sad evenings with bright emotions and unite people who, it would seem, have nothing in common.
For Paramonov there were no other people's problems, he always helped others, not demanding anything in return. There was not a bit of anger or envy in him.
Sergei preferred not to talk about his problems. Relatives could only guess about the presence of difficult difficulties and worries.
Overcoming all the failures and failures of a man helped faith. Recently, he liked to go to the old church in Sokolniki. Maybe there he again felt like a little boy, the soloist Sergei Paramonov. The biography and cause of death of the singer excites many, therefore, it is time to move on to the final passage of the life of the legend of the Soviet stage.
Last years
The last years of the artist's life seemed like a white stripe: he quit drinking, looked happy and self-sufficient.
Sergey was preparing for new concerts, planned musical projects and was full of strength and faith in himself, again like the young singer Seryozha Paramonov, whose biography and cause of death still cause tears among many fans.
Sudden care
A few months before his death, Sergey caught a cold and contracted pneumonia. He was engaged in treatment in passing, relying on traditional Russian chance and resorting to sparing, as it seemed to him, methods of traditional medicine. As a result, the disease gave complications. In many online biographies of Sergei Paramonov, right-sided pneumonia is called the cause of death. However, not all share this version. Some media outlets, describing the final stage of Seryozha Paramonov’s biography, indicate a prolonged binge as the cause of death, however this version also crashed. It all happened like this.
May 15, 1998 Sergei took a bath and shaved, put on a white shirt, as if about to go somewhere. A heart attack happened suddenly. The artist died almost instantly. The star, shining brightly and fieryly, went out in an instant. Sergei Paramonov was not yet 37 years old.
The star of the Bolshoi Children's Choir was tormented by a premonition of death, he told his friends that he would not die soon and asked to be buried at the Krasnogorsk cemetery in Mitino, where Sergey’s friend was resting. Friends fulfilled the last request.
