Leader of the rock band "Cartoons" Yegor Timofeev: biography, family and illness

Our hero today is the founder and leader of the rock band "Cartoons" Egor Timofeev. Recently, around his person appeared a lot of rumors. Some sources claim that the musician had serious problems due to drug use. Others report on the operation he has undergone. Let's work out together where the truth is, and where the lies are.

Biography: childhood and adolescence

He was born on April 14, 1976 in Leningrad (now - St. Petersburg). Egor was brought up in a simple family. His mother and father had nothing to do with music and the stage. From an early age the boy showed his creative abilities. Egor liked to sing and dance. Soon he was enrolled in a music school. Our hero was pleased to attend classes. Timofeev Jr. was trained to play the piano and violin.

In his spare time from school hours Egorka collected models of ships and aircraft. And he liked to draw cartoons. In adolescence, the boy showed a commercial vein. Right in the walls of the school he sold Japanese tapes and Soviet badges. For this, Yegor was even expelled from the pioneers.

The beginning of creative activity

After graduating from high school, Timofeev entered a pedagogical college, choosing the history department. He received a diploma, but he did not work for a full-time profession.

In 1993, Egor founded his first band The Ears ("Ears"). Several talented and ambitious musicians joined him. The guys performed cover versions of the hits of Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and other world-famous bands.

Group "Cartoons"

In 1997, Yegor launched a new project. As you understand, we are talking about the group "Cartoons". Timofeev became a soloist, and also the author of music and texts. In addition to him, the staff consisted of: Voitov Maxim (drums), Evgeny Lazarenko (electric guitar), Novikov Victor (keys) and Rustem Gallami (bass guitar). During its existence the group "Cartoons" has released 10 studio albums and has given dozens of concerts in Russia. In 2003, the team left the keyboard player Vitya Novikov. The group's activity has declined.

In 2004, a solo album by Yegor Timofeev was on sale. It was called the Pentagon. If you think that the musician left the group and went on a free voyage, then you are mistaken. "Cartoons" continued to record songs and perform concerts. After the release of the record "Happiness" (December 2004), the band for a long time is silent.

In 2007, the "Cartoons" re-emerged. The musicians started writing new songs. They performed in clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The tour activity of the collective in Russian cities was resumed only in 2015.

Yegor Timofeev: personal life

Our hero was never a womanizer and ladies' man. Even in his youth, he wanted to meet a worthy girl and create a family with her. In the mid-1990s Yegor Timofeev met a young beauty named Natasha. The girl conquered him not only with spectacular appearance, but also with a rich inner world. Subsequently, Natalia starred in several clips of the group "Cartoons".

At first, the couple lived in a civil marriage. And in July 2001 the musician officially formalized relations with his chosen one. Unfortunately, this marriage did not last long. Every day the couple had more and more claims to each other. As a result, Yegor and Natasha made a joint decision to divorce.

Currently, the leader of the rock band "Cartoons" lives in St. Petersburg. He has a favorite girl Xenia, who gave him a charming little daughter Barbara. Lovers do not hurry to the registrar. They consider the stamp in the passport a mere formality. The main thing is that they have respect and mutual feelings.

Disease

Egor Timofeev considered himself a healthy person. But at the end of 2014 he began to experience pain in his legs. The musician did not attach much importance to this, writing off everything for fatigue and the rabid rhythm of life. And at the beginning of 2015, the man was in extreme pain. This time he went to a survey in one of the capital's clinics. What is Egor Timofeev's disease? What about him? It turns out that his hip bones have been destroyed. To solve the problem, it is necessary to perform two operations on endoprosthetics.

The leader of "Cartoons" engaged in treatment, so for some time he moved away from creativity. Upon learning of this, envious persons and ill-wishers began to write unpleasant stories about him. Allegedly, the musician's condition worsened due to drug use. But it's not true.

Finally

Now you know which way to the all-Russian fame was done by Yegor Timofeev. We also reported a disease that temporarily disabled the musician. We wish him good health and creative inspiration!
