The famous singer named the cause of her fatal illness. Biography of Lama Safonova When did you find out about the disease?

Lama Safonova is a Russian singer who is instantly memorable. And the point is not only in the girl’s talented performance, but also in her bright, unusual appearance and, of course, the “crown” dance with fans, which Lama performs at almost every performance. Unfortunately, in addition to fame and recognition from fans, Safonova’s biography also included a difficult test. However, the girl’s character did not allow her to give up, and Lama continues to fight for her own life and does not stop singing.

Childhood and youth

Marina Safonova (this is the singer’s passport name) was born in Kazakhstan. The girl’s birthday is November 8, but Lama carefully hides the year from journalists and fans. However, in 2012, the girl took part in the “Let’s Get Married” program, where she revealed a secret: the year of her birth was 1987.

The future star’s mother worked as a teacher, and her father was a hereditary military man. Due to his duties, the man was often transferred to new places, so as a child Lama managed to live in Kazakhstan, Novosibirsk, and Moscow.

In the capital, the girl went to school, where she showed not only a zeal for learning, but also a desire to help other people: little Marina even organized teams of “young Timurovites” who helped older people. From an early age, the future singer was surrounded by friends, but, as Lama later admitted in an interview, her mother was and remains her best friend.

It is interesting that it was her mother who pushed the singer to the decision to hide her age: Lama was influenced by her mother’s stories about the great personality, who, as you know, also did not like to talk about the number of years she had lived, believing that the exact number did not matter in the slightest.

But her father instilled in the girl an interest in martial arts, thanks to which Lama learned to masterfully spin nunchucks. This skill later formed the basis for a dance with luxurious double-sided fans, which the girl also masterfully handles, causing the admiration of the audience.

Immediately after school, Lama entered Moscow State University, but in her dreams she already saw herself on stage.

Music and creativity

The singer recorded her first compositions in 1991. After some time, the girl already presented her debut album to the public, which, unfortunately, did not bring Lama popularity.

Lama Safonova's song “Behind you”

But the singer’s next work - the album “Lama”, released in 2004 - instantly captivated the public, making Lama Safonova famous and popular. The girl began to be invited to perform at national concerts, and then the artist began solo tours, filming in videos and television programs.

Unlike many colleagues in the music industry, Lama did not resort to the help of producers for her own “promotion”. The girl deals with all organizational issues and production independently.

In addition, Safonova still tries to help others: the girl sends most of the money raised from concerts to charitable organizations. For this, Lama was even awarded the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “For Nobility of Thoughts and Deeds,” and in 2010 the girl received special gratitude from the Presidential Regiment for a concert in the Kremlin.

A year later, Lama Safonova received another award - this time the artist was awarded the title of Fashion Composer of the Year for the composition “O Lama Chamm-Chamm”, performed in Russian and Ancient Scythian at the opening ceremony of High Fashion Week in Moscow.

Lama Safonova’s song “Breathe”

A year later, the singer presented another album, called “Chamm-Chamm”. The song “Breathe” became the most popular composition from this album.

In parallel with rehearsals, work in the studio and constant concerts, the girl finds time for other activities. So, Lama worked for some time as a DJ at a radio station and hosted the “Hot Ten” program on one of the TV channels.

Personal life

In 2012, Lama Safonova participated in the “Let’s Get Married” program, where she admitted that her relationship with her first husband did not work out: the man suffered from a gambling addiction in casinos.

Frequent quarrels led to a final breakdown in the relationship; once Lama even had to escape from the wrath of her husband by escaping through a third-floor window. Then the man begged for forgiveness live on one of the radio stations, but Safonova was adamant. The marriage ended in divorce.

Later, the slender blonde (Lama’s height is 176 cm) met a British football player and actor. The man came to Moscow for filming and accidentally ended up at Safonova’s concert. Thus began a romance, which soon became known to the press.

The situation was complicated by the fact that Vinnie Jones was married. Lama began to be called a homewrecker, but the girl admitted that she knew nothing about her lover’s marital status. Soon Safonova decided to break up with Jones.

Fortunately, in the end Lama Safonova’s personal life turned out happily. In 2014, the girl agreed to become the wife of Alexei Ivanov. The singer prefers not to talk about her new boyfriend, but it is known that the man has nothing to do with show business.

Disease

The girl’s health problems began after a terrible tragedy. Lama Safonova was attacked, the singer was severely beaten and robbed. From that moment on, the artist’s heart began to “play tricks,” but the doctors shrugged their shoulders, not finding any illnesses in the Lama.

And in 2016, Safonova told the press about a terrible diagnosis: the girl was diagnosed with uterine cancer. The situation was complicated by the third degree of the disease, as well as the fact that Lama was allergic to antibiotics and many other medications. At the beginning of 2017, the girl underwent surgery: the artist had her uterus removed.

Ten days after this, Lama Safonova came to the studio of the “Live Broadcast” program. The singer found the strength to tell the audience about her illness, surgery, fears and difficulties. The girl asked fans for help: Safonova’s family does not have enough funds for rehabilitation and further expensive treatment.

Not everyone liked such frankness: the businessman literally attacked the girl, accusing her of deception and simulation. According to Kovalev, Lama simply decided to promote herself and enrich herself from the pity of her listeners. The singer reacted calmly to such accusations. According to Safonova, several years ago Kovalev courted her and even started talking about marriage, but Lama refused the man, so he simply took advantage of the opportunity to take revenge.

But the actress, who also took part in the program, supported Lama by talking about her own illness.

Lama Safonova now

Lama Safonova continues to believe in victory over the disease and is not going to give up. In 2018, reports appeared in the press that the singer was again hospitalized. However, contrary to rumors that the girl was dying, Lama’s condition was normalized. Safonova admits that her family and husband help her hold on. In addition, the girl continues to study music, which also supports the artist’s inner strength.

Lama admits that he does not give up his dream of children. Before the operation, the girl decided to freeze her eggs in order to preserve her chances of one day becoming a mother.

Lama Safonova is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The girl talks about the details of the treatment in "Instagram", sharing his experiences with fans. They, in turn, encourage the singer, helping Lama continue to fight the disease.

Former girlfriend of "bonebreaker" Vinnie Jones preparing for a complex operation. To the girl diagnosed with uterine cancer. According to the artist, she learned about the disease in the summer. However, now the singer does not know exactly what stage she is at. The operation to remove the uterus, appendages, and ovaries is scheduled for January 9. In an exclusive interview with Life, Lama Safonova spoke about how she is fighting cancer, despite the fact that many doctors refused her treatment, predicting death.

When did you find out about the disease?

This year was successful for me only in terms of work; I was unlucky with my health. For several months I felt that something was wrong with me, I was physically ill. Coming home, I always felt unwell, my heart ached, but I attributed the malaise to workload and accumulated fatigue. And in the summer the first bell rang, and I urgently had to be examined. Then I found out everything. The diagnosis does not sound very comforting - it is uterine cancer.

What stage are you at now?

Now I’m definitely at stage two, but it could be close to stage three. I dream of stopping in second. I am determined to beat cancer, I will not give up. A very difficult operation awaits. This involves the removal of many organs: amputation of the uterus, ovaries, appendages and lymph nodes. I'm very scared. I am intolerant to many medications, including anesthesia. I don't know how I'll get through the surgery. Anything can happen. In my case, it's Russian roulette. The bottom line of all this: I won't be able to have children. I will try to save the egg to take advantage of surrogacy, but I have little chance of getting out of this whole story. Many hospitals have already turned me away because they said that without antibiotics they wouldn’t get me out and I could die. But I intend to win!

Who supports you in difficult times?

Mom and husband. They will be in touch with everyone when I am already in intensive care. I am also extremely grateful to absolutely everyone who connected to my trouble on the Internet. There is even a hashtag on Instagram #LamaSafonovaWin. Thank you very much to the author, I hope you see this. You know, I gave many charity concerts in support of cancer patients and never thought that I myself would be one of them. I am very grateful to fate that she sent me exactly this type of cancer, because outwardly it does not manifest itself in any way. Close friends made me talk about my illness so that I wouldn’t go through it alone. Zhanna was also going to experience this alone at one time. By the time people found out, it was already too late. I am determined to beat cancer.

Does Vinnie Jones know about your illness?

No, as I promised the British press, several years ago I stopped all communication with him. By the way, he also fought cancer, I don’t know whether he defeated it in the end or not.

In an exclusive interview, 30-year-old Russian singer Lama Safonova spoke about the upcoming operation to remove several organs.

Lama is one of a galaxy of Moscow rising stars planning to celebrate 10 years of creative activity in the near future. I saw her repeatedly at various events and quite sincerely believed that she was a transvestite, because I didn’t believe that a woman in her right mind could voluntarily do such a thing to herself... But recently she went to Let’s Get Married in search of a husband and then, like the sun, behind the clouds

As one of my friends said, “Why I love you, Roma, is because you embellish, but don’t bullshit.” Lama in this regard is a master of artistic bullshit. Having googled the English-language Internet, I somehow did not find a single mention of the fact that Switzerland was desperate and decided to invite this Russian performer to perform on its behalf. And even more so considering the fact that she released her debut video three years ago and is still trying to make it big. But our business is not to discuss moral qualities, but to admire beauty. Come on!

Lama's official website has a professional photo section. We'll get it from there!

I peered for a long time, trying to figure out where her fur came from, but, apparently, this was calculated. And no one is bothered at all by the fact that the singer is wearing a splay. The splay is generally a very common technique among professional photographers.

And then Lama somehow (place?) created a flow of air from which not only did the dress rise, but I’m afraid that the chandelier remained in place!

Here she seemed to be crouched by the motorcycle. The main thing is not to stay too long, otherwise if the owner sees, he might hang you. When Lama's first video came out, after a while she was beaten on the stairs. According to her, the famous producer Ivan Shapovalov beat her and tried to rape her. Then it turned out that Shapovalov was not even in the country that day and it was terribly inconvenient. So, even if there had been, the situation would probably have developed as follows. Shapovalov comes out onto the stairs and there...

...the princess poops. From this angle you can’t immediately see the star, but who likes shit on the stairs! So Ivan, apparently, took care of the cleanliness of the entrance. If you look closely, you can see the signature crotch fur in the photo. But we will see him again many times - the theme of the furry crotch runs like a red line through the work of the rising star.

In the meantime, a little fashion cramps!

It's a rare model who feels so confident in the genre of spasms!

Let me remind you that this is all professional filming. Unobtrusive Photoshop indicates professionalism.

Trying on the role of Anastasia Volochkova... First, show your tits, then we’ll see what kind of ballerina you are! He is silent and smiles mysteriously.

“Well, am I going?” - Let's go! Oh how it went! You can't imagine anything more vulgar!

And here I will make a small lyrical deviation. In fact, there is also the Ukrainian singer Lama, who has been on the market for 100 years, has released dozens of singles and a bunch of videos.

Accordingly, he successfully rides around Ukraine and various folk rallies in Russia. And the first three dozen queries in both Yandex and Google are about the Ukrainian Lama. But what do we see on the website of our Moscow Lama:

“There have been increasing cases of performances under the name of the Rising Russian Star LAMA (Lama) in the CIS countries and Europe by “CLONED PSEUDO SINGERS - LAMA (Lama)” in violation of copyright and patent rights, the appearance of songs not related to the REAL singer LAMA (Lama) under her name and also using her musical material and music brand! Persons impersonating the singer LAMA (Lama); organizers of illegal performances of clones - LAMA (Lama) and sites under “pseudo-LAMA (Lama)” with images of people who have nothing to do with the REAL LAMA (Lama), violating moral, ethical and legal boundaries in the CIS and Western Europe, and also in the Internet space - they will bear criminal liability! We ask all media to be careful about these incidents, protect our copyright and patent rights and priorities, and clarify any information received from outside in the patented Sole Official International Information Center of the “LAMA (Lama)” project.”

Well, let's not talk about moral and ethical boundaries! When I went to the website of the one and only Lama, I actually felt raped! But, in general, everything in our Lama betrays a person who was banned from Google... It’s scary to imagine what the Moscow Lama experienced when she learned that someone under her name was releasing albums, making videos and making a very successful career! I would move! Although... maybe she did.

It is precisely for such cases that they write on sequin dresses that they cannot be washed in a machine. And here is a high-temperature wash and a full spin. See what happens!

Here is Lama with Pugacheva. Hmm... I missed so many chances to take pictures with Madonna, Jackson, Jolie...

Moreover, Lama is a master of sports smearing. She gets accreditation from some online media for a cool event and posts the news “Lama on the red carpet of a film festival” on her website. Yeah, watch it on all TVs in the country. What is she doing there on the path? Again…

Well, okay, let's look at Lama in everyday life. There are also plenty of such photos on the site. What does the signature indicate? So I’m wondering, by putting this watermark, do they really think that someone might try to steal these photos? If they had put it across the face then, the aesthetic value would have been higher.

I just dream of breaking copyrights and putting this photo on the cover of my CD! As I like to repeat to my colleagues who rush to put a copyright on every spit: “Gentlemen! You don’t say anything that could be stolen!”

And here I wanted to joke about the garbage in the frame, but, looking closer, I realized that it was all Lama... so different...

And here she apparently imagined that she died and was surrounded by flowers. Delivers shoes. This is the first photo of Lama without heels. A worthy replacement, I think!

And now that you have become quite familiar with Lama’s unique style and subtle aesthetic sense, I will please you with last year’s news (so what! She’s been touring with one single for three years!) - Lama was recognized as the best fashion composer according to the Fashion People Awards 2011. Apparently, he writes on the table, gets dressed in the closet. But all this tinsel is a forced measure for survival in Russian show business...

Not long ago, singer Lama Safonova admitted to fans that she was suffering from a terrible illness. The actress is fighting cancer. In her microblog, she talks in detail about how her treatment is going. She posts photos of herself in a hospital bed and shares her thoughts with subscribers. Lama also asked everyone who cared to help her financially, since she had to pay for expensive medications and procedures.

Today Lama Safonova decided to talk about her misfortune in the “Live Broadcast” program. She appeared in the studio with her husband, who took her out in a wheelchair. The singer asked to help her move to the sofa.

“10 days have passed since the operation, nothing has healed yet. I can't take antibiotics, so I don't take them. Recovery takes place precisely on the strength of the body, on internal strength, which is why it takes so long. But I am fighting and I hope that I will win this fight,” said Safonova.

The actress admitted that today she did makeup for the first time to look good on set. Lama said that she learned about the terrible diagnosis shortly before the New Year. She is glad that she was able to find a surgeon who would take her for the operation, despite the fact that her body does not tolerate certain drugs, including certain types of anesthesia.

Two years ago, the artist played a magnificent wedding with her chosen one, Alexei Ivanov. The couple does not yet have heirs, but they hope that one day children's voices will be heard in their house.

The artist said that she has heart problems. They started after a robbery. Three years ago she was beaten and her documents and money were taken away. Then she went to the hospital. Afterwards her health deteriorated greatly. Lama went to the clinic with heart complaints, but due to drug intolerance, doctors were in no hurry to help her. The cancerous tumor was discovered after she began bleeding heavily. The first operation took place in November.

“They removed a tumor from my uterus, but they didn’t make a diagnosis at that time - they just couldn’t understand what was there. Maybe a frozen pregnancy, maybe something else. When histology was performed, two weeks later. They took me into the office, and the doctor said that I had cancer, a very aggressive one. My legs gave way,” recalls Safonova.

This diagnosis completely ruined the artist’s plans - tours and performances were disrupted. Experts in the studio, including doctors, were perplexed why, given such obvious symptoms, doctors did not take urgent measures.

Lama admitted that initially she did not want to tell the public her trouble. Her mother insisted that her daughter tell everyone about the diagnosis. It seemed to her that people could help prolong the artist’s life.

Andrei Kovalev appeared in the studio and questioned the artist’s diagnosis. The man said that when he was suspected of having a serious illness, he was not released from the clinic without a thorough examination. Moreover, Kovalev believes that few people will take a camera into the room to film themselves after the operation, as Lama did.

Boris Korchevnikov remembered the story of actress Stella Baranovskaya. The woman claimed that she was cured of cancer thanks to alternative medicine. The artist was accused of not accounting for the money that caring people collected for her. Stella admitted that her friends gave more than ten million, and fans donated about 800 thousand rubles for her.

The couple hopes that they will be able to become parents. She froze her eggs before the operation. Now the woman hopes that with the help of a surrogate mother she can have a child.

“This is our common decision and our first reaction is just forward, if there is an opportunity, it must be used. But now the priority is to survive,” admitted Safonova’s husband.
