Last week Dmitry Khvorostovsky spoke at the contest "New Wave" in Sochi. This performance was very significant for the artist, because it was the first since the doctors reported the diagnosis of the singer - a brain tumor.
About the problems with the health of the celebrity, his fans learned from the artist himself. After some time it became known that the tumor is malignant, and doctors diagnosed the third stage of cancer. The artist immediately began to treat the disease. Already in August-September, Khvorostovsky transferred the first course of chemotherapy and radiology to the London clinic.
The other day a close friend of Dmitry Hvorostovsky photographer Pavel Antonov told journalists the latest news about the health of the singer. According to Pavel, the beginning of treatment has already yielded positive results - the tumor has become much smaller. Now Khvorostovsky will have the next stage of chemotherapy, which will be held from November to February.
To stay in good physical shape, the artist is engaged in a special system, which includes not only sports loads, but also breathing exercises. Antonov said that a popular performer does not limit himself to eating, and eats with pleasure the usual boiled sausage:
When we met in New York, where Dima first appeared on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera after the treatment, I grabbed him a half a kilo of boiled sausage for him. He loves to eat it for breakfast. The next day he asked me to bring more
Despite his struggle with the disease, Dmitry Khvorostovsky continues to speak. At the end of the month the artist will come to Moscow with a concert. Fans of the singer will be able to enjoy the aria of Count de Luna from the opera "Il Trovatore" by Giuseppe Verdi in the performance of the famous baritone.
