Dmitry Alexandrovich Hvorostovsky 10/16/1962 - 11/22/2017
Cause of death
The cause of death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky was cancer - a brain tumor. Earlier, Mikhail Zadornov and Zhanna Friske died from the same disease.
Due to the progressing illness, I canceled one event, a second, a third, I didn’t want any rumors to spread, empty speculation began, and I declared everything as it was. This was a completely logical step on my part. Probably, the action is not very typical, but everyone chooses for themselves.
Why not say it right away, thereby trying to close the topic? I'm not used to lying and misleading people. I thought it over well, weighed it, consulted with my family, with my loved ones, with Mark Hildrew, my friend and long-term director... Together we decided: we’re telling the truth.

Death of Hvorostovsky. Circumstances.
The news that Dmitry Aleksandrovich Hvorostovsky is sick with cancer spread throughout the media in 2020. The singer has repeatedly canceled planned concerts and opera performances. It is known that on October 11, 2020, false information about Hvorostovsky’s death appeared in the KP publication, to which several officials even managed to react. However, concert director Mark Hildrew quickly denied this information, and on October 16, Dmitry Alexandrovich celebrated his 55th birthday.
At the Rochester Clinic in the USA, I had a powerful biopsy, an operation under general anesthesia, without which it was impossible to understand which treatment method to choose. Holes were drilled at the base of the skull. If you bring your hand to the area that has been irradiated, you may even feel additional warmth. There are moments when the blood rushes in and everything there begins to pulsate. Except the music doesn't sound. This is the result of radiation...
Unfortunately, the disease still prevailed, and on November 22, 2020, death overtook Hvorostovsky for real.

I managed to say goodbye to Dmitry last night at 21:00. And early this morning his wife Florence called me and said that Dima had died a minute ago. It was 3:30 am. He died in a hospital in London. Unfortunately, the fight for his life ended today. I can’t say that he was conscious in the last minutes. Yesterday morning his parents flew to see him. They met. We even managed to talk as much as possible. And they also said goodbye to him, although until the last minute no one believed that Dima would leave. We all hoped for a miracle
