In St. Petersburg — to drink, in TASS — to smoke. Shnurov announced a concert in Moscow

This year, the popularly beloved Leningrad group turns 20 years old. A world tour of Cord and company will be dedicated to this event. Of course, the second most popular man in Russia will sing in Moscow. The concert will take place in the middle of summer at the stadium of FC Spartak — Otkritie Arena.

There is a delicate subtext in this. Shnurov, a devoted fan of Zenit St. Petersburg, will perform in the lair of his worst enemy. Moreover, apparently, in the midst of celebrations on the occasion of the long-awaited championship of Spartak. However, the Cord does not believe that the fans of the red and white will have a reason for festivities. He said this at a recent press conference in Moscow.

— Is Spartak the champion? — Sergey was asked.

- no.

"Then who is it?"

— The champion is Freddie Mercury from the Queen collective. They also sang: "We are the champions."

— Spartak recently played with Zenit, and Moscow fans hung out a banner "In St. Petersburg — whine", hinting at the unworthy behavior of the head coach of your favorite team. What if the audience at the concert decides to change the chorus of your hit in the same way?

— I saw this banner, yes. But we have sound-amplifying equipment. Therefore, any attempts to shout over are useless. It's like spitting against the wind.

In general, at that press conference, Schnur said a lot of interesting things. For example, he told about the first concert of "Leningrad" in Moscow:

— That was cool. At that time we had another soloist, Igor Vdovin, with whom we recorded a record. And he just didn't come to the train, he left us. And for the first time I went to the microphone, not yet able to sing and play the bass guitar. Fortunately, Leonid Fedorov was (the soloist of the group "Auction"), who sang half of the songs. In general, my debut as a soloist of Leningrad happened in Moscow.

— Why am I writing about louboutins? Yes, because the drunks are gone! The texture of intellectual alcoholic conversations at the shops is gone. I'm not ready to write about the departed nature. Give me back the drunks, I will be happy to write on alcohol and household topics, I love all this. I feel like a fish in water in such companies.

— What name would Vasilisa the cat give you if she could speak?

— Oh, that's a good question! So... well, I would have appeared to him as a little kitten, a starving one… She would have looked at me and given me the name Habarik.

And Shnurov lit a cigarette right during the press conference, which was broadcast live on the Internet.

— A healthy lifestyle is a mythology, — Sergey declared, answering another question. — Any life is not healthy. There is no healthy society, no public opinion. All this is imposed on us. Yes, I can pretend that I am healthy. But it's just an image. I would ask you to pay attention to this.

After that, the Cord asked for permission to smoke and, with the tacit consent of the audience, began to smoke a red Marlboro.
