How is farewell to the father of Philip Kirkorov Bedros
The pop singer, the father of the famous son and the “good dad” for several generations of artists. A person who has established international and interethnic friendship. So people said about him, who came to say goodbye to him on Friday. Models in black hats, wrapped up in the season, warm fur coats, representatives of show business with huge bouquets, loyal fans and even statesmen gathered at the Troekurovsky cemetery to spend the folk artist of Russia Kirkorov.
Farewell to the singer began at two in the afternoon in the large mourning building of the Troekurovsky cemetery. You can get to it by public transport only by one bus, departing once every half an hour from the Kuntsevskaya metro station. Despite the lunch time, the necessary stop at the metro was filled with people. Two elderly women with artificial bouquets discussed, next to whom the artist would be buried.
– There is a whole alley of famous singers, artists. Whose funeral have you been there for the last time?
– I specifically came to the thigh. I always liked his songs and, in general, all this is the Bulgarian charm.
– And I often go to the famous people. Last time, she was late for goodbye with Vladimir Levkin from Na-Na. So it was a shame: I arrived, and already covered the grave with bouquets. The bus did not arrive on time.
The last remark was concerned about the rest of the audience at the stop. “And if this time does not come either? My husband and I are big friends of Bedros, ”said an elderly woman in a golden jacket. “We ourselves are singers.” Her husband immediately offered to order a taxi. Strangers of each other at the bus stop began to argue, “how much to take off for travel” and who exactly would go by car, in which there are only four places. A cloves, who did not fit into a taxi with a bouquet, began to cry, but people at the bus stop assured her that the bus was about to come-and did not lie. The fellow travelers discussed gossip from the world of show business all the way to the cemetery: “Pugachev would not come, apparently, although he was his daughter-in-law”; « Filya, interestingly, will be all shining, as always? »
Before entering the mourning hall, a large crowd gathered: despite the open space, it was almost impossible to breathe in it, there was a persistent smell of heavy spirits in the air. Women in various fur coats stood with huge bouquets. Basons of an even larger size were kept by men in asymmetric jackets and leather jackets. Dressed more standardly people tried to figure out who these people are:
– They look like famous stars.
– Yes, so « fashionably » dressed. Provisively.
Nobody could recognize these people. By the beginning of the ceremony, however, among people with huge bouquets, singer Grigory Leps, Vlad Topalov, Regina Todorenko, producer Joseph Prigozhin appeared, as well as the head of the information and press of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova. But in the crowd, she did not stand, but, on the contrary, already left the hall of farewells and at that moment said: « He put his life to bring the peoples closer. » She remembered how the singer helped to defend the Alyosha monument in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiva (local politicians regularly raise the issue of demolition or transfer of the monument to the Soviet soldier – the libertiper of Bulgaria in the Second World War), and then immediately left.
Soon the audience was launched inside – and the hall was filled to capacity in just a couple of minutes. At the coffin, littered with flowers from all sides, Philip Kirkorov with children on the one hand and spokesman for president Dmitry Peskov sat on the other.
The word was taken by the son of the deceased. “Dad lived a long and happy life and was a successful person and an amazing, loving father and grandfather,” he said. “And he collected only friends around him, but did not make enemies.”
The fact that Bedros Kirkorov was a loving father was said not only by his son. “He is a soul, bright, kind and dear,” said singer Valery, recalling that the deceased supported young artists. “Philip, however, he was our common dad.” Producer Yana Rudkovskaya told how Philip Kirkorov gathered all his friends on the 90th anniversary of his father: « Bedros was happy that he had such a son, he smiled and sang with us. »
Then the word was taken by representatives of various public organizations. Among them were, for example, representatives of the “Union of Chernobyls of Russia”, who thanked the deceased “for supporting creativity”, and “Congress of the Tatars and Turkic peoples”. « Is the Bulgarians Turks? » – the man in the crowd was surprised. “So he is an Armenian by nationality, just from Bulgaria,” a neighbor answered him from the side. « Are the Armenians Turks? » – came in response. The question hung in the air.
An hour later, those who wish to speak out. Of the speakers, the song “Guarda Che Luna” performed by Bedhos Kirkorov was heard. People were invited to lay bouquets to the coffin, and this took at least 40 minutes. “Bravo, artist! Goodbye, dad, ”said Philip Kirkorov, and under the stormy applause the coffin was taken out of the hall. Soon after this, Kirkorov’s Bedros was buried in the Troekurovsky cemetery.
