Journalists contacted Leps director Maya Serikova, who explained why Grigory fell and denied rumors of alcohol intoxication.
I wouldn’t like to tell the whole country and give medical reports about Grigory Viktorovich’s health, but I consider it necessary to respond to the lies about his alleged “drunk fall.”
On this day, Leps consulted his doctor, who strongly recommended that he not go on stage in the evening. Moreover, three flights in one day from other concerts and events were behind us. The fact is that Grisha has long had problems associated with blood pressure - these are the costs of his profession and constant flights,” Serikova said.
However, even in poor health, Leps chose to fulfill his obligations.
“He promised this performance for a long time, he couldn’t let me down - that’s the kind of person he is. Let me emphasize once again - a person, not a robot. Has the right to weakness, especially related to health. We were all afraid for him then. Thank God, everything worked out. For people who relish the fact that “Leps fell drunk,” I will explain separately.
Leps has not drunk alcohol according to medical recommendations for several years. At all. The only thing he drank that evening was tea with honey and freshly squeezed juice,”
Maya assured.
The singer’s director also said that the recording posted on the Internet was made not in Rostov-on-Don, but in an expensive Moscow restaurant where a private event was held. That is, it was not a concert.
“I don’t know who benefited from throwing this video online, deliberately misinforming that it happened on tour, in front of the audience. I admit that this was done on purpose, given that Leps’s box office receipts in cities now can only be envied. To spoil Gregory’s reputation in the eyes of the audience, so as to, as they say, “free the clearing”? – Serikova suggested. Well, such setups are quite in the spirit of our show business.”
Director Gregory noted that there are good people in this serpentarium.
« Thanks a lot Nikolai Baskov, who was present at that speech and, seeing what lies were poured out against Leps, did not remain silent!” – Maya thanked the “natural blonde”.
Previously, Basque supported a friend in the media.
“It was in Moscow, at a private celebration, I was also present there. What they write that Grisha was drunk is complete nonsense!
He came to my dressing room before the performance to ask how I was doing and how I was feeling - I complained to him that I had a headache because of the weather. Grisha said that he didn’t feel very well either, since his blood pressure went up that day. What kind of drink are we talking about? –
Nikolai is perplexed. “He didn’t use anything, the person felt bad - it happens to everyone.”
Falls on stage (and from stage!) of foreign artists have long been the stuff of legends. Either the dress they choose is too long, or they get so dizzy in the dance that they can’t stand on their feet...
The list of “shooting stars” has recently been supplemented by Russian performer Grigory Leps. The singer collapsed out of the blue. A few minutes later, the video of the fall was already being actively discussed online.
Someone sympathized with the artist, and gossips They immediately said: too much alcohol! Here's the result.
Leps did not make excuses. But the singer’s official representative could not stand it and stood up for the idol of millions, shaming all his ill-wishers.
“It’s very funny and absurd to read accusations against an artist who actually stumbled on stage due to poor health that evening. I wouldn’t like to tell the whole country and give medical reports about Grigory Viktorovich’s health, but I consider it necessary to respond to the lie about his alleged “drunken fall,” said the artist’s director Maya Serikova, writes Life. - On this day, Leps consulted his doctor, who strongly recommended that he not go on stage in the evening. Moreover, there were three flights in one day from other concerts and events. The fact is that Grisha has long had problems associated with blood pressure - these are the costs of his profession and constant flights.”
Rostov spectators also spoke out. According to them, this video has nothing to do with the last concert.
Firstly, in the video it is noticeable that this is not the Rostov Gorky Theater, where Leps performed, says Irina. - There the stage is much larger and higher. And there are steps to the stage. By the way, the theater staff removed these steps before the start of the concert, so the person Leps was holding on to simply could not stand there. Secondly, I can confidently say that the singer was sober and sang live. A person with an altered consciousness would not be able to communicate with the public the way Leps communicated. He tossed the microphone, twirled it in his hands - it was an element of the show. Throughout the concert, Leps behaved energetically, walking from one side of the stage to the other, the performance was very emotional.
Colleague Nikolai Baskov also came to Leps’ defense. The artist also noted that the video circulating online has nothing to do with the tour, but was filmed at a private party in Moscow.
“And what they write that Grisha was drunk is complete nonsense! He came to my dressing room before the performance to ask how I was doing and how I was feeling. I complained to him that I had a headache because of the weather. Grisha said that he didn’t feel very well either, since his blood pressure went up that day. What kind of drink are we talking about? - Nikolai is perplexed. “He didn’t use anything, the person felt bad - it happens to everyone.”
That's it! Innocent?!
The day before, a video of Leps’ embarrassment during a speech appeared on the Internet. The recording shows the star performing the song “I’m Happy” and at some point losing his balance, falling right on stage.

A video of Grigory Leps losing his balance during a performance appeared on the Internet this weekend and the press immediately suggested that the artist’s fall was due to his alcohol intoxication. However, the star’s representatives denied this information and reported that the singer was not drunk, but sick, and it was the illness that caused the incident.
A video of Leps almost falling off the stage while performing “I’m Happy” was posted online on November 19. Fans and journalists were perplexed - could the artist really play the concert drunk, since this had never been seen before.

I wouldn’t like to tell the whole country and give medical reports about Grigory Viktorovich’s health, but I consider it necessary to respond to the lies about his alleged “drunk fall.” On this day, Leps consulted his doctor, who strongly recommended that he not go on stage in the evening. The fact is that Grisha has long had problems associated with blood pressure - these are the costs of the profession and constant flights,” said director Lepsa.

In addition, Serikova emphasized that Leps has not been drinking alcohol at all for several years. medical indications. “The only thing he drank that evening was tea with honey and freshly squeezed juice,” she assured.
Moreover, despite the fact that the caption to the video tries to convince us that the fall occurred at a concert in Rostov-on-Don, in reality the incident occurred at a private event in Moscow's Safis. Serikova suggests that such a “set-up” was made by envious people of Leps, who is now riding a wave of popularity. “Damage Gregory’s reputation in the eyes of the audience, so as to, as they say, “liberate the clearing”? Well, such setups are quite in the spirit of our show business,” the singer’s director noted disapprovingly.
It is worth saying that Leps was also supported by his stage colleague Nikolai Baskov. The artist stated that there was no question of any drunken performance, because behind the stage, before the start of the concert, Leps himself complained to him about poor health and problems with blood pressure. “He came to my dressing room before the performance to ask how I was doing and how I was feeling - I complained to him that I had a headache because of the weather. Grisha said that he didn’t feel very well either, since his blood pressure went up that day. What kind of drinking are we talking about?” Baskov said, adding that anyone can feel bad on stage and therefore there is no need to reduce everything to the topic of alcoholism.
Published 20.11.16 09:39On November 19, it appeared on the Youtube channel scandalous video entitled: “Drunk Grigory Leps at a performance in Rostov-on-Don.”
vid_roll_width="300px" vid_roll_height="150px">A minute-long video shot by one of the spectators shows that during the performance of his hit “I’m Happy,” the singer, clearly not falling into the soundtrack, staggered on stage. On the line of the chorus: “I’m happy, I’m not lying,” Leps suddenly took a turn to the right and he began to fall onto the stage when last moment the guards barely intkkihs They managed to grab him and put him on his feet. The singer continued his performance and showed the audience that everything was fine.
According to the singer’s website, the concert in Rostov-on-Don took place on November 15, but the scandalous video appeared on the Internet only recently.
The video of the incident with Leps on YouTube has already been watched by almost 150 thousand people.
The scandalous video caused a storm of comments on the Internet. Many Internet users accused the singer of being drunk on stage and not respecting his audience. Some sarcastically emphasized that every country has the same singers. However, there were also those who suggested that the mentor of the show “The Voice” simply felt unwell.
Note that the performer of the hit “A Glass of Vodka on the Table” recently publicly admitted that he suffers from alcohol addiction.
Yes, I drink! And what? - Grigory Leps said on NTV. - And I will do it whenever I want! And if I start drinking, I don’t stop until I fall. I’ll have fun: I’ll go to one restaurant, to another... And why not? Alcoholism is, well, alcoholism. If you want, you drink, if you don’t want, you drink anyway... Then you just endure it and get out of this state... Can I call myself an alcoholic? Rather yes than no. Cause I can't drink like normal people: glass of wine, sat and went to bed. Once I take a bite, I won’t stop! It ruined many people. And when they start carrying out one after another, you begin to wonder, when will you be?
Let us recall that several years ago Grigory Leps argued with one of his friends on a large sum that he won’t drink until his 50th birthday. The singer, indeed, was able to hold out for a whole year. And having won the argument, he “unleashed” it again. However, this does not prevent the 54-year-old jury member of the show “The Voice” from actively touring.
