Four months after the death of Yura Shatunov, the producer of the Laskovy May group, Andrey Razin, announced on his YouTube channel that the group would resume its activities with a new line-up.

“The Laskovy May group will be created anew from young guys who will work.

Personally for them we make our page in social networks.

Wherever you can see and hear them, ”said the producer.

When this will happen, and who exactly will perform as part of the team, is still unknown.

However, fans of the original composition of "Tender May" took the news extremely negatively.

They note that the group was interesting primarily thanks to Shatunov, without him the project has no prospects.

“Yura is a legend, create at least a dozen groups, there will be no success,” one of the comments says.

“Without Shatunov, these songs are of no interest to anyone.

No matter how many other groups you create, ”writes another site user.

Another fan emphasized that new compositions should be written for the revived Laskovy May group, since the performance of old hits would be wrong in relation to Shatunov.

“The new LM should perform with new, own songs, rehash Yura’s songs somehow incorrectly and disrespectfully,” the author of the comment noted.

“How terrible what is happening.

Yura Shatunov is a brand.

Apparently, Yura fought against this.

And what, new songs will also be taken away by R. (Razin. -

RT

)?

It's kind of a shame.

And it’s even worse that our property was sold to America, ”another user was indignant.

Andrey Razin also said that over the next three months, all information related to Shatunov will be deleted on the network - content can only be found on the producer's official YouTube channels.

He emphasized that the copyright holders “have all the rights to a complete chronicle of both family life and music - everything that was connected with the work of Yura Shatunov and the Laskovy May group.

“Yura Shatunov is a trademark.

And he sold it to me in 2013, and I sold it to the Americans.

Yuri Shatunov is a trademark.

Andrey Razin is a trademark.

I also sold it, and it also has an owner.

And "Tender May" is also a trademark.

Yura Shatunov tried to sue and tried to return this trademark, but the Supreme Court refused, ”Razin said.

Yuri Shatunov was born on September 6, 1973 in an ambulance on the way to the maternity hospital in the city of Kumertau (Bashkir ASSR).

Part of his childhood was spent in an orphanage.

The artist recorded the first songs with the help of the then head of the amateur art circle, Sergei Kuznetsov.

Together they came up with the name for the group - "Tender May".

The artist became famous in the USSR as a teenager, and "Tender May" became a notable phenomenon in the history of Soviet pop music.

As part of the Shatunov team, he released such hits as White Roses and Gray Night.

In the early 1990s, the artist left for Germany, studied as a sound engineer and took up a solo career.

Later, he resumed cooperation with Kuznetsov and began touring again - in 2022 Shatunov performed in Ufa, Cheboksary, Kazan and Kirov.

He has recorded seven albums throughout his solo career.

The musician was married to lawyer Svetlana Shatunova.

The couple met in Germany in 2000.

They have two children, son Dennis and daughter Estella.

Shatunov died on the night of June 23, 2022 at the age of 48.

The cause of the singer's death was a massive heart attack.

It was reported that the musician felt unwell when he was in the country.

“They took me to the nearest medical center, they already said that the case was serious, they had to be taken to the hospital, they sent an ambulance.

Just some ancient "Gazelle" without equipment.

We didn't take Yura to the hospital, he died on the way.

Yes, they tried to “turn him on” in the hospital, it didn’t work out, he was already dead, ”the singer’s director told StarHit.

The death of the singer shocked his colleagues and fans.

The artists noted that Shatunov became a "unique phenomenon" and the personification of the era.

Colleagues remembered the main soloist of "Tender May" as a charming, simple and optimistic person.
