Igor Krutoy and cancer
People first started talking about the maestro having cancer more than 10 years ago. These rumors arose when he became ill at the Donbass Arena while watching a football match. Young, active, cheerful, he regularly flew to Donetsk to visit his friend Rinat Akhmetov to watch the competitions of his favorite team. But at that moment something went wrong, and he was taken straight from the football field in an ambulance.
There is no exact information. The press was told that there were problems either with the kidneys, or with the liver, or with the pancreas. But everyone immediately started saying that Igor Krutoy had cancer. Why cancer? Because it is believed that this is a disease that spares neither the poor nor the rich, from which there is no salvation. And indeed, she has already taken too many to the next world. And in general, when a person does not have confirmed information, the easiest way is to say cancer.
On a note! Rumors about oncology were fueled on one of the talk shows by the late Kobzon, who struggled with this scourge for many years. Then he listed several bright people from show business and said that they also suffer from this disease. The composer was also on the list.
But we will please all fans. Krutoy’s illness is not so terrible and he will be able to live for many, many more years.
Igor Krutoy has cancer or not, latest news for 2020
According to some reports, Krutoy has recently lost more than 15 kilograms. He looks exhausted. This is no longer the charming Igor Krutoy with a sparkle in his eyes, whom his fans loved so much. Shortly before his own death, Joseph Kobzon confirmed the composer’s cancer in one of his talk shows.
He said that Krutoy was fighting cancer and gave examples of several other representatives of show business who also suffer from a serious illness (Alexander Rosenbaum, Alexander Buinov). It is curious that everyone Joseph Davydovich spoke about later denied the information provided by Kobzon.
The composer leads a healthy lifestyle and plays sports. Last year, fans were concerned about the musician’s rapid weight loss: the already slender Igor Yakovlevich lost 15 kilograms. Krutoy’s acquaintances explained that the reason for this was a strict diet prescribed by doctors.
On the air of the “Once Upon a Time” program, the composer said that he now feels good, but often thinks about the fate of his loved ones. Igor Yakovlevich provided the children with a decent life: housing, education and the opportunity to travel. If something happens to him, Krutoy hopes his family will maintain the same level of well-being.
His songs can be guessed from three notes. If not from three, then from five for sure. Because Krutoy is a cool melodist. Alexander Serov, Irina Allegrova, Valery Leontiev, Laima Vaikule, Philip Kirkorov and Alla Pugacheva - until recently it seemed that these domestic peaks were like the seven notes of Igor Krutoy. And they gave birth to masterpieces. Today Krutoy names world stars as his main assets: Lara Fabian, Sumi Jo, Anna Netrebko and Dmitry Hvorostovsky.
Igor Krutoy:
“Igor Nikolaev and I came to a cafe in Miami. And he himself came out to meet us quite simply, without any stellar business: “I’m Dima Hvorostovsky, hello.” Sit down with me." After some time, he said: “Listen, you know, they didn’t write it specifically for me. The songs have already been performed by someone, but do it for me.” I say: “What should it be?” “Well, do something so that I want to sing, and everyone wants to listen.”
Postponed surgeries
Igor Yakovlevich ended up on the surgeons’ table twice. After the first intervention, they began to say that he had pancreatic cancer. Indeed, the operation was carried out on this organ, but there was no talk about oncology or tumor removal.
The second time he had to decide on surgical treatment again a couple of years ago. But this time, according to those close to him, the problem was in the kidneys. Although the media inflated it differently. They even wrote that the composer had died.
But Krutoy’s illness is confirmed. This is diabetes.
Igor Krutoy
1987 was the year the composer’s biography of Igor Krutoy began. This year his first song appeared and became a hit, “Madonna.” It was written for the singer and friend of Krutoy, Alexander Serov, whom the composer knew from Nikolaev.
The success was consolidated with the following songs for Serov - “Wedding Music”, “How to Be” and “Do You Love Me”, which immediately became hits on the Soviet stage. The composer's popularity grew enormously. Now Alexander Buinov, Valery Leontyev, Laima Vaikule, and many other popular performers sang Igor Yakovlevich’s songs.
Not only composing, but also producing activities are now increasingly occupying Igor Krutoy. In 1989, he first became director, then artistic director. Just 10 years later, Krutoy is the president of the company, which, under his skillful leadership, has become the largest concert and production organization in the country. Krutoy’s “ARS” collaborates with popular country performers Polina Gagarina, Mikhail Shufutinsky, Yuri Shatunov, Boris Moiseev, Diana Gurtskaya and others. The production center of Igor Krutoy organizes solo concerts of world and Russian pop stars at prestigious concert venues in the country and abroad.
The authority of the company led by Krutoy can be judged by the fact that it was the company that organized the concerts of Jose Carreras and Michael Jackson in Moscow. ARS also produces the popular programs “Morning Mail”, “Song of the Year”, “Sound Track” and “Good Morning, Country!”, which are broadcast on the central TV channels RTR and ORT. In addition, since 1994, ARS has been organizing creative evenings for Igor Krutoy as a composer. At these evenings both established and new pop stars perform.
Now Igor Krutoy is writing instrumental music. In 2000, the composer’s first album, entitled “Music Without Words,” was released, which presented his best instrumental works. The composition “When I Close My Eyes” became the most popular in this direction, and fans called the creation inspiring and incomparable. He also writes music for feature films, and videos with his participation are no less popular.
The song “An Unfinished Romance,” which Igor Krutoy performed with singer Irina Allegrova, became one of the most significant hits in his creative biography. There was even information in the media that Igor Krutoy’s too close collaboration with Irina Allegrova could have affected the composer’s marriage, and the alleged union with his wife Olga had cracked, but the press speculation was never confirmed. In the TV show “Secret for a Million,” the composer explained to Lera Kudryavtseva that he and the singer have a “creative romance and a high relationship.”
The composition “My Friend” became another popular work of Krutoy. Russians remembered this work because the masterpiece was created with the participation of another equally famous Russian composer, Igor Nikolaev.

Working with the French-speaking singer Lara Fabian is a separate chapter in the career of Igor Krutoy. The album Mademoiselle Jivago (“Mademoiselle Zhivago”), released in 2010, became popular in several countries around the world. The Russian composer is becoming increasingly recognized in France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland and other countries where Lara Fabian’s work is loved and known.
In 2014, the composer held a concert in honor of his anniversary, which was called “There are 60 times in life.” In addition to the performance of songs by the maestro himself, friends and colleagues Irina Allegrova, Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai Baskov, Kristina Orbakaite, Grigory Leps, Larisa Dolina and others came to congratulate him. The festive program was broadcast on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
In 2020, together with singer Anzhelika Varum, composer Igor Krutoy shot a video for the song “Late Love.” The new creation found itself in the leading positions in Russian music ratings. The video was filmed by famous representatives of Russian show business in Kyiv.
A discussion immediately developed in Ukrainian society regarding the legality of such an event, in which Russian stars took part.
Igor Krutoy - People's Artist of Russia. On the Square of Stars near the State Concert Hall “Russia” there is a personalized star of Igor Yakovlevich. The maestro's discography includes about 40 albums recorded by Russian performers.
Igor Krutoy and the confrontation with the First
In 2003, Igor Krutoy disappeared from public space for a long time. The reason for everything, according to the press, was the confrontation between his company and the current First Channel. Then “Star Factory-4” had just ended, the ratings of the project were low, which left the general director Konstantin Ernst dissatisfied. According to media reports, the TV channel allegedly stated that after the end of the project, the performers went “under the wing” of Krutoy, which does not include a contract with the TV channel.
During this period, Krutoy’s music was not aired and artists performing his compositions did not appear. Both the “Song of the Year” program and the “New Wave” competition disappeared. Today, the conflict has dried up, and the black streak in Krutoy’s creative biography has ended.
Diabetes
Of course, there is little pleasant about it. But millions live with this diagnosis and it’s quite normal. It was because of diabetes that Igor Krutoy lost weight. After all, he has to follow a special, rather strict diet, and even take medications. A new diet and lifestyle are the reasons for the change in the composer’s appearance.
Yes, he looks exhausted, but considering that he has lost 15 kg, this is not surprising. Over time, the body will get used to the new food, and Igor Yakovlevich will again delight everyone with a youthful and cheerful appearance.

It is difficult to say exactly when the disease began and what caused it. It is known that Igor Krutoy underwent pancreatic surgery in 2001. And since 2009, there have been rumors that he has cancer.
