Biography of singer Shura

Alexander was born on May 20, 1975 in Novosibirsk. All his adult life, the singer dreamed of a father, because he did not know his own father. Svetlana's mother had a husband. Stepfather Nikolai did not babysit little Sasha. Soon the couple separated. The future artist did not have a good relationship with his mother. He was transferred to a shelter. But he didn’t spend much time there - his grandmother Galina took pity on him. She took Sasha in for upbringing when the boy was 9 years old.

Alexander Medvedev Shura in his youth

Grandmother worked at the Rus restaurant in Novosibirsk. After school, Shura sang songs on the small stage of the establishment. Vocals were difficult for him due to the incorrect position of his teeth in his mouth, but the boy still continued to try. Then he realized that a flaw could be turned into a feature. Alexander presented burr as a unique feature of extravagant performance. The specific appearance also played into his hands: a strange figure, facial expressions, lack of front teeth.

He did not finish school; he completed only seven classes. I tried my hand at floristic art and earned a master's diploma in making traditional Japanese ikebana. After some time, producers became interested in him, who saw him as an outlandish performer.

Popularity came to the Russian singer quite quickly - in 1990. The mannerism and non-standard genre of performance played into the hands. The bored public became interested in watching how the “strange” talent manifested itself. At his first concerts, Shura wore extravagant outfits that emphasized his extreme thinness.

After some time, his compositions “Cold Moon”, “Do Good”, “Don’t Believe Tears” began to degenerate into multiple parodies. Despite the ridicule of others, he continued to develop his creativity further. Alexander Medvedev tried himself on the set of the film “8 1/8 Dollars”, in which he performed his own compositions.

When fame came to the artist, it turned out that he was a drug addict. Doctors diagnosed cancer. Long-term treatment began with chemotherapy and surgeries in the best clinics in Switzerland and the Russian Federation. Five years later, the singer was able to defeat cancer, restore his health and return to the public renewed. Now he performs with ceramic teeth inserted, a little plumper and prettier.

Singer Shura was evicted from his apartment by his relatives

The Kalininsky court of Novosibirsk on Wednesday deprived the singer Shura (Alexander Medvedev) of the right to use an apartment in Novosibirsk at the suit of his mother and brother, reports the department of the judicial department in the Novosibirsk region.

The lawsuit was filed by Svetlana Medvedeva and Mikhail Dudchenko in early 2013 and was justified by the fact that Shura has been living in Moscow for a long time, where she has several apartments and offices, and therefore does not need housing in Novosibirsk.

The plaintiffs and defendant were not present at the hearing, and therefore the court made a decision in their absence, a court representative told RIA Novosti.

According to the singer’s PR director, during Shura’s tour in Novosibirsk there was a reconciliation with his mother, who promised to withdraw the lawsuit from the court. However, this was not done, and the court evicted the artist from the apartment.

Apartment in Moscow

The pop singer purchased an apartment in the center of Moscow for six million rubles in 2003. But since at that time the artist was struggling with his main illness - drug addiction, he played it safe and transferred the housing to another person. The court, in turn, rejected Alexander’s claim and deprived him of the opportunity to return his living space.

The interior of the singer's apartment

The popular singer lived in the Moscow apartment for quite a long time and was not going to give it away to anyone for free. But it so happened that when copying the documents, the fraudster indicated other initials, but the owner’s signature was real.

Shura is trying to find the person for whom he changed the documents - the fraudster to whom he gave the apartment for debts. The new owners gave Shura two months to leave the premises. The artist plans to take out a mortgage and live a new life. He often admitted in interviews with journalists: “I am a homeless person at 43! And it’s very difficult.”

In the television show “Hello, Andrey!” Shura spoke about the latest news and details about the incident with the apartment. A construction company called “Stolitsa” transferred the living space of the popular musician to employee Murad Arabov. The company took advantage of the famous pop singer’s legal ignorance and awarded the right to housing to a complete stranger who is not a relative or friend of Alexander Medvedev. The fraud became possible because company employees knew about his problems with drug addiction.

Shura is a shocking singer who attracted the attention of the whole country with his performances and appearance, non-trivial actions and rumors about his unconventional orientation. Shura never tired of shocking the audience, which earned him both the love of one part of it and the disapproval and ridicule of another.

Childhood and youth

The future singer Alexander Vladimirovich Medvedev, better known under the pseudonym Shura, was born on May 20, 1975 in Novosibirsk. The boy grew up with his mother Svetlana, younger brother Mikhail and grandmother Vera Mikhailovna, who, according to the artist, was of gypsy blood.

Shura in his youth

The boy was always sure that his brother was loved more, and over time he found plenty of evidence of this. For example, the musician said that at the age of 9 he ended up in an orphanage, from where his grandmother took him. And the young man learned that his father was not actually his own, but his stepfather, only when he received his passport, where his mother asked him to write down a completely different middle name.

As it turned out, his father, Vladimir Shapkin, lived not far from the Medvedevs’ house, but did not take the initiative to meet and communicate with his son.

Svetlana began dating 20-year-old Vladimir, who had just returned from the army, when she was only 17 years old. The girl became pregnant, but the young man did not consider it necessary to marry her, but on the contrary, he moved away.

After a while, Nikolai Dudchenko became Svetlana’s husband, from whom his second son was born. But this family did not last long.

Shura

Having become popular, Shura always tried to support his mother financially, even if, due to conflicts, he had to transfer money not directly, but through his brother or daughter-in-law.

Shura has no musical education. And schooling ended for him in the 7th grade. The boy was expelled with a certificate of incomplete secondary education.

He began his singing career early, at the age of 13. Sasha's first scene was the Novosibirsk restaurant "Rus", where his grandmother worked. The unusual performer was immediately nicknamed the Yellow Suitcase. Apparently, this was due to the guy’s shocking appearance: he came out to perform in a black sweater with fringe, patent leather shoes on a high platform and a black coat to his toes.

Shura’s grandmother instilled a love of shocking

According to the artist himself, his grandmother instilled in him a craving for extravagance.

Vera Mikhailovna worked as a cook and had a very indirect connection to art: she sang romances in front of the mirror, dressed in incredible outfits. The grandmother also taught her grandson macrame and embroidery.

At one time, in addition to music, Shura taught handicraft courses in his native Novosibirsk, which were attended by women of all ages. This activity prompted the future artist to become a florist designer.

Shura graduated from design courses in Riga and immediately came to Moscow with the ambitious intention of conquering the capital.

Music

Shura's debut in the capital took place at the Manhattan Express club. The bet on shocking was correct, and the singer woke up famous. Another important event for the young singer took place in the same club. There Alexander met the stylist and fashion designer Alisher. Since then, Alisher has been sewing stage costumes for Sasha and consulting during shopping trips.

The peak of the pop singer's fame was at the end of the 90s. The artist gained rapid growth in popularity thanks to his shocking manner of performance and appearance: Shura had no teeth and was in no hurry to insert them. According to the artist, as a child, his younger brother Mikhail knocked them out during a fight.

Shura with and without teeth

Shura’s most famous songs are “The Summer Rains Have Stopped Noisy” and “Do Good.” The popularity of the songs was so great that videos immediately appeared for them. The shocking artist’s hits became the objects of numerous parodies. But for many, Shura’s songs from those years are associated with the period of growing up, which is why they are still relevant today.

Shura recorded his first two albums in collaboration with composer Pavel Yesenin, who also acted as a backing vocalist. In 1997, the first album entitled “Shura” appeared in the musician’s discography. And in 1998, the album “Shura-2” was released as a continuation.

Shura - “Do Good” Medvedev has many musical awards. For the songs “Don't Believe Tears” and “Do Good,” the singer received the Golden Gramophone. In “Song of the Year” Shura sang “You don’t believe in tears” and “The summer rains have stopped making noise.” The awards were received by the songs “Artist”, “Zimushka Winter” and “Sky for Us”.

The style introduced by Shura to the Russian stage was given the name “Eurodance” by critics.

After the rise in popularity, the showman suddenly disappeared. Shura’s creative biography was interrupted for a long time. As it turned out, he was seriously ill. Evil tongues started talking about the singer’s drug addiction and alcoholism.

Medvedev confirmed drug addiction, calling it the main cause of the disease - cancer.

But Alexander managed to overcome the terrible illness, although it took a lot of time: the cancer was discovered in an advanced form.

Treatment began in a military hospital in Moscow. Shura underwent a complex operation, but this was only the first stage on the path to healing. Next came chemotherapy, which was carried out simultaneously with treatment for drug addiction.

Shura about healing from cancer

The singer’s mother even flew in from Novosibirsk to help get him into the clinic. Friends supported the artist, helped him in word and deed: a large amount of money was needed for treatment and rehabilitation. Shura continued his course of treatment in one of the Swiss medical centers.

The disease receded, thanks to the support of his close circle, Shura recovered, overcoming both cancer and cravings for narcotic substances. But a new problem arose: the musician recovered in every sense of the word, the exhausted body reacted to the treatment in an unexpected way - extra pounds appeared. With a height of 175 cm, the artist’s weight reached 140 kg.

To resume his career, Shura lost weight

However, the guy managed to overcome this obstacle. Several courses of liposuction helped get rid of fat deposits.

The renewed singer reappeared on television and began touring.

The outrageousness diminished, but the story of a terrible illness and miraculous healing became the calling card of the artist who returned to the stage, causing a new surge of interest in his person.

Returning to the stage in the late 2000s in an updated image, Shura became a guest on popular shows. In the “Musical Ring” his opponent was Boris Moiseev.

In 2007, the artist appeared in the program “You are a Superstar!” on NTV. The new image allowed the artist to reach the finals, where Shura lost first place to singer Aziza.

The number that impressed the audience was the song “Let's Pray for Our Parents.” Shura sang this hit in a duet with Soso Pavliashvili.

By this time, the artist already had a full smile, which cost the singer 8 million rubles.

In 2020, Shura celebrated 20 years of creative activity. In the same year, the singer appeared in the popular transformation show “One to One!” on the TV channel "Russia-1". A year later, the artist began a large tour “New Life. New image”, in which he presented the songs “Penguins”, “Our Summer”.

2018 started off hard for the artist. Shura has recently been experiencing problems with his hip joint, so he decided to have surgery to replace it.

For this reason, the singer went to Kurgan to the Russian Scientific Research Institute named after Academician G. A. Ilizarov.

The planned operation was successful, and as a sign of gratitude after the rehabilitation period, Shura organized a solo concert for the residents of Kurgan.

Shura on the project “Secret for a Million”

In May, with the participation of Alexander Medvedev, the TV show “Secret for a Million” with TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva was released on the NTV channel.

On the show, the artist spoke frankly about problems that were far in the past, and about his desire to become a father.

For the sake of this dream, before the transfer, the artist passed the necessary tests, and on the air of the TV show he met a surrogate mother who is ready to bear the artist even twins. For the sake of future heirs, Shura plans to purchase a country house.

In July, the singer became a guest of Andrei Malakhov’s popular evening show “Hello, Andrei!”, the episode of which was dedicated to the stars of the 90s.

Shura also does not forget about creating new hits. In 2020, the artist gave fans a new single, “Girlfriend.” In the summer of 2020, the artist announced on his own Instagram profile the release of the song “Important Something,” which caused a storm of positive emotions among his subscribers. Also in the summer, Shura held a solo concert at GLAVCLUB GREEN CONCERT.

Recently Shura encountered a problem that actually made him homeless. Back in the early 2000s, the artist bought an apartment in Moscow for 45 million rubles, which he subsequently transferred to another person under the influence of drugs.

Now the apartment has new owners, who demanded that the artist move out of the occupied meters. At first Shura was in a depressed mood, but then he decided to fight for the property.

Several court hearings have already taken place.
