Yuri Shatunov daughter Estella. Yuri Shatunov is dead or alive latest news
Having released a new album, the singer of the legendary “White Roses” told Antenna how he is raising his son and why he does not forbid his wife anything.
– Yura, congratulations on the release of the album, which took six years to record. Why so long?
“I guess I just wasn’t ready, I didn’t have a good repertoire.” All this time I experimented, tried to work with some authors, second, third, fifth, tenth, and ultimately decided on the compositions and began recording an album. But, in essence, all these songs are mine, because I took part in the work on each one. In the near future, after a solo concert in Moscow, there is a tour around the country.
Birthday
– I congratulate you on your birthday just the other day. Where did you celebrate?
- Thank you. Of course, at home, with my family, in Germany. Because I had to be with them anyway, because my son Dennis’s birthday is on September 5th, mine is on the 6th.
– Yura, this year you turned 39. How do you feel on the threshold of turning 40, which is considered a midlife crisis among men?
– I’m not worried at all, I don’t even feel close to being that age. Maybe externally - yes, we all age, but internally - by no means. I feel at most like I’m thirty.
– Still, aren’t you tired of the fact that most viewers continue to perceive you as a kind of bunny boy?
“It doesn’t flatter me or annoy me.” Some people call me Yuri Vasilyevich, some simply Vasilich, some Yura, Yurok, and some in the yard slang Yurets, well, as you like. This means that people communicate with me on equal terms. You can earn to be called by your first name and patronymic with age. And if, despite your age, they call you as if you were a guy from their yard... That’s cooler. Well, I think so.
Two countries
– Yura, is it true that now, when you come to Moscow, you stay in the same one-room apartment on Kantemirovskaya that you were given at the age of 17 after graduating from boarding school? Why didn’t you buy more pretentious housing?
– Understand, here in Moscow, I only need an apartment to come, spend the night and fly further on tour. And my home is in Germany, where my family lives. I've been there since 2000.
– Now your life is divided into two parts, two countries. It must be hard not to see your loved ones for many months like this?
– It’s not easy, but you just need to get used to it. I visit Russia much more often than at home. But this does not in the least prevent me from communicating with my family, seeing my son, and so on. There is Skype, there is the Internet, there is a telephone, after all. And then there is the plane: board, two hours - and home.
– Why don’t you show your family, don’t talk about it?
“I don’t want some less than mentally healthy people to persecute their loved ones.” And my wife asked that she and her son be protected from such attention.
– What is the risk?
“Svetlana doesn’t want anyone to recognize her or her child.” Plus, there are many inadequate people who constantly write in the same Odnoklassniki: “Yura, I love you, I want you.” I answer: “I have a family, children,” and they: “So what?” And why exploit the family? Am I lacking popularity?
“But still, Yura, since we’re having a heart-to-heart talk, if you can, tell us about your family.” Everyone is very interested.
- Everything is fine in the family, really.
– Who is the girl who gave birth to your son six years ago?
- Like who? This is my wife. Her name is Svetlana. Shatunova.
– And how did you meet Svetlana?
- Accidentally. They often ask: do you believe in love at first sight and is it even possible? Maybe. This is exactly how it happened for me. It was enough to just look at each other. We met in Germany on New Year's Day 2001. We met by chance at the hotel - and that’s all...
– Does your wife come to your concerts?
- No. I was there once at the beginning of our acquaintance, in Germany, but... She didn’t like it. Somehow this didn’t bother her.
– But you don’t forbid her, do you?
- No way. I don’t forbid her anything, I’m a husband, not a slave owner.
– What does Svetlana do? Is she a creative person?
- Well, moderately creative. In general, she is a lawyer by training. But at the moment, her main occupation is raising her son. Now the main thing for us is that the little one went to school, and went a year earlier.
– In Germany, at what age do they go to school?
- From the age of seven. But next year there are no more places in the good school that we chose. And we were told that Dennis could wear this.
- What kind of school?
– Specialized school, not easy. With additional study of foreign languages. There will be German, English, Spanish, French and some others.
– Not a Russian school?
- Of course not. There are no Russian schools in Germany. Although there are kindergartens, bilingual ones are bilingual.
– Did your son go to such a kindergarten?
- Yeah. He speaks Russian very well! And he’s already even swearing...
– Who taught him to swear?
- Oooh, you don’t need to teach this, it’s in our blood! This is Russian! He is powerful and rich.
– Yes, the child is ready for school... How did you participate in the preparation?
– I went shopping, I had to buy everything – pants, notebooks, pens, it’s cool! It's like returning to childhood.
– Were you present at the first line – or whatever they call it?
– What did you give your son for his birthday?
– Denka wanted a radio-controlled boat.
– What kind of men are you – those who give flowers only on holidays, or...
– I don’t give flowers at all.
– ...remembers all the significant dates?
– It’s even more difficult with dates.
Dad's holiday
– In your new album there is a song “My Baby”, where there are the words: “I have been waiting for you for so long, I dreamed day and night...” Did you really want a child that much?
– Since childhood, as far as I can remember, I dreamed that my first son would be born, on the day when I would be 33 years old, and that he would definitely have blue eyes. And everything turned out exactly the same, except for the birthday. I was also present at the birth, holding my wife’s hand and cutting the umbilical cord.
– Who is your son more like – you or your wife?
– The lower part is mine – I can say with one hundred percent certainty. The top one is a good mix, mine and my wife’s. But this is external. In general, Dennis is a difficult guy. I remember he surprised my wife and me a year ago at a party in the garden, when the children were asked to talk about their parents. One says: “When dad drinks beer, we play computers with him,” another says something else funny... Children are like that, they tell everything frankly. The parents left the hall looking crimson. Dennis is asked: “Who is your dad?” And he is so important: “My dad sings “White Roses.” Most of all he likes to say: “What an infection!” In general, he answered beautifully.
– How did having a child change you?
“At first it was a minor event for me. Well, that is, I gave birth, everything is cool. But I realized later that there is a child who needs to be raised, fed, taught, and so on. That is, a real feeling of fatherhood has come, when you come home and know exactly what to do in certain cases - when to shake a teddy bear in front of your nose, when to take you to the doctor... Responsibility has appeared.
– But you’re probably more of a holiday dad, spoiling your son?
- Yeah, exactly, exactly. But sometimes I can construct it if pranks go beyond what is permitted. Although I do not practice physical punishment and will never allow it to be used on a child. You can explain everything in words. Denya is now addicted to the computer, and the biggest punishment is to forbid him to play.
- What about encouragement? What was the last time you made your son so happy that he jumped for a long time?
- A trip to my grandmother, my mother-in-law. The child counted the days, packed his suitcase himself, walked around the house with it: “Dad, when is it already? The grandmother is there, the cat is there, the river is there.” He learned to fish on this trip and caught four fish. Small ones, but I caught them myself. He grabbed a fishing rod with a twitching float and yelled: “Dad, I caught a fish!” What should I do with her? Then, however, they took pity on the fish and released them.
– Dennis is already six. Have you thought about a second child?
“I thought there was a huge desire.” And I have yet to give birth to more than one, but... Everything has its time.

In September 2006, the couple had a son, Dennis, and in January 2007, the couple officially sealed their relationship with legal marriage.
“I visit Russia much more often than at home. But this does not in the least prevent me from communicating with my family, seeing my son, and so on. There is Skype, there is the Internet, there is a telephone, after all. And then there’s the plane: I boarded, two hours later and I’m home,” says Yuri.
In March 2013, they became parents for the second time when they had a daughter, Estella. It’s interesting that the children’s godfather was the former head of Tender May, Andrei Razin.
Together with his family, Yuri Shatunov periodically lives in Moscow, then in Germany, in the city of Munich.
The singer has been asked more than once why he doesn’t show his family or talk about it. The answer is always the same:
“I don’t want some less than mentally healthy people to persecute their loved ones. And my wife asked that she and her son be protected from such attention. Svetlana does not want her and her child to be recognized.
Plus, there are many inadequate people who constantly write in the same Odnoklassniki: “Yura, I love you, I want you.” I answer: “I have a family, children,” and they: “So what?” And why exploit the family? Am I lacking popularity?
In addition to playing music and raising children, the singer is seriously interested in computer games and even became the champion of Russia in racing computer cars. Yuri Shatunov returned to his childhood passion for sports, loves hockey and diving. He also provides financial assistance to orphanages and often participates in charity concerts.
“They often ask: do you believe in love at first sight and is it even possible? Maybe. This is exactly how it happened for me. It was enough to just look at each other. We met in Germany on New Year's Day 2001. We met by chance at the hotel - and that’s it...” shares Yuri.
Despite the passion that quickly flared up between them, the future Shatunovs did not get married right away. This happened only in the seventh year of their acquaintance. By that time, their son Dennis had already been born and Yura became the Father. The newlyweds had their wedding in Germany, and that same year they decided to baptize their first-born. The baptism ceremony took place in the homeland of the spouses, in Sochi.
Svetlana’s sister and the singer’s longtime acquaintance, Andrei Razin, acted as godparents. In 2013, a new addition appeared in the Shatunov family - a daughter was born in Germany, who was named Estela.

Yuri Shatunov was born on September 6, 1973 in the city of Kumertau. When the boy was three years old, his parents divorced and he stayed with his mother. Since 1984, Shatunov began studying at a boarding school in Kumertau due to his mother’s illness. At this time Yura was 11 years old. That same year, his mother dies of heart failure.
Already in 1986, Yura moved to Orenburg, to orphanage No. 2. It was there that he met the future songwriter of the group “Tender May,” poet and composer Sergei Kuznetsov.
At the age of 13, Yura began her first rehearsals and performances. Already in October of the same year, Kuznetsov wrote for him the first song, “Cold Winter Evening,” and then the second, “Blizzard in a Foreign City.” From that time on, the group “Tender May” began to perform successfully in their boarding school and the local cultural palace. In the first lineup of the group, in addition to Yuri Shatunov, there were Vyacheslav Ponomarev (bass guitar) and Sergey Serkov (light music). During this period, the main hits appeared - “White Roses”, “Gray Night”, “Melting Snow” and many others.
In 1988, the group had a significant event. “Tender May” recorded their first album at the local Children's Art Center. Sergei Kuznetsov immediately took the recorded tape to the railway station. Thanks to this, in the same 1988, the manager of the Mirage group, Andrei Razin, quite by chance heard the songs of “Tender May” on the train. Of course, he wanted to see the sweet-voiced boy who sounded on the recording. Razin got off at the nearest station and went in the opposite direction in search of Shatunov. In September, a new “Tender May” begins its existence in Moscow.
The group, and in particular Yuri Shatunov, had fabulous popularity among audiences of different ages and both sexes. They gave 8 concerts a day, and the number of performances jumped over 40 per month.
In 1992, Shatunov left the group and went to Germany. There he received his education as a sound engineer. Yuri has a new producer, Arkady Kudryashov. In the same year, Shatunov recorded a solo album, “So May is Over,” which was later renamed “You Know.”
In 1992, Yuri had another important event - he performed for the first time as a solo performer with the song “Starry Night”. And all thanks to the fact that Alla Pugacheva invited Shatunov to participate in her “Christmas meetings.”
In the spring of 1994, PolyGram Russia offered to collaborate with the artist. As a result of quick negotiations, Yuri signed a contract with Boris Zosimov. Immediately, the artist began a lot of hard work, he shot videos for the songs “Starry Night”, “And Falling to His Knees”. In September 1994, Shatunov presented a new album called “Do You Remember.”
The singer released several more collections, and in 2001 the album “Remember May” was released. The main hit was the song “Forget”.
In 2002, Yuri received the “Song of the Year 2002” award for the hit “Grey Night”, and in 2009 a certificate for the song “Childhood”. Also in 2009, Yuri Shatunov went on a big tour of Russia in support of the feature film “Tender May”.
A few years later, in 2011, several new songs appeared on the singer’s website. Among them are the tracks “From White Roses” and “Tete-a-Tete”. In the same year, Shatunov received the “Song of the Year 2012” diploma for the super-hit “Grey Night”.
On February 23, 2015, at the anniversary ceremony of the Sound Track award, Yuri Shatunov received an award for his contribution to the development of Russian show business.
Shatunov’s personal life was stable. While in Germany, in 2000, he first met his future wife Svetlana and fell in love with her at first sight. 6 years later, in 2007, Svetlana gave birth to his son Dennis, and in 2007 they got married. In 2013, another joyful event occurred in the Shatunov family - their daughter Estella was born. Svetlana and Yuri have been together for more than 15 years, 11 of which were spent in marriage.
Yura Shatunov, song "White Roses", video
The popular Soviet and Russian singer Yuri Shatunov was born in Bashkiria, in the city of Kumertau. At birth, Yuri Shatunov's surname was Shatko. Yuri Shatunov’s date of birth is September 6, 1973. Yuri Shatunov became a celebrity performing in the late eighties and early nineties of the last century in the musical group “Tender May,” which was then popular among young people.
Yuri Shatunov’s father’s name is Vasily Klimenko, he did not take any part in the fate and upbringing of his son. When Yura was only eleven years old, his mother, Vera Shatunova, died. First, Yuri ended up in an orphanage, and a year later - in a second Orenburg boarding school. There he met Sergei Kuznetsov, with whom they recorded their first songs together in a local cultural center on a regular cassette recorder.
It was at that time that the first composition of the later famous group “Tender May” appeared. It included: Yuri Shatunov, Sergei Serkov and Vyacheslav Ponomarev.
Andrei Razin, who was then working at the Record music studio, accidentally heard the song “White Roses” on the train, which interested him very much. Andrey went to Orenburg to find a talented teenager and take him to Moscow. But at that time Shatunov once again left the boarding school without permission. Kuznetsov and Pakhomov went to Moscow with Razin, and Yura was brought to the capital only in early autumn. Here, in the twenty-fourth boarding school in Moscow, a new group “Tender May” began to live and work under the direction of Andrei Razin, as well as a studio of the same name.
The group “Tender May” was a huge success among young people and traveled throughout the Soviet Union, collecting stadiums of fans. The enterprising Andrei Razin came up with the idea of using several compositions of “Tender May” at once in order to earn as much money as possible. The most popular and beloved soloist among all was, of course, Yuri Shatunov. After Shatunov left “Tender May”, the group broke up.
After this, Shatunov left Russia for Germany, where he trained as a sound engineer. In 93, Yuri Shatnov released his first music album called “You Know.” Yura's producer was his longtime friend Arkady Kudryashov.
A year later, Shatunov signed a contract with the Poligram studio. Two videos were shot - “Starry Night” and “Falling on My Knees.” In September 1994, Shatunov released his new album “Do You Remember”, half of the songs for which were written by Sergei Kuznetsov.
A couple of years later, the album “Artificial Respiration” was released, which included remixes of songs, and in 2001 the album “Remember May” was released.
In 2009, Yuri Shatunov gave concerts in support of a new feature film dedicated to the creation and work of the group “Tender May”.
Last year, Yuri Shatunov’s new music album “I Believe” was released.
Yuri Shatunov's wife's name is Sveta; they got married in Germany in 2007. Yura Shatunov’s son’s name is Dennis, he was born in 2006 and Andrei Razin became the boy’s godfather.
Now Yuri Shatunov lives with his family in Munich, he is engaged in business and charity, helping orphanages.
Yuri Shatunov Interesting facts
Are you a true Tender May fan? Then you should definitely know as much as possible about the life of your favorite performer. The biography of Yuri Shatunov will help you understand the musician’s work, understand the feelings embedded in the lyrics and music.
Early years
The singer was born in 1973, on September 6. In childhood and youth, Yura Shatunov faced bitter disappointments. After the birth of his son, his own father, Vasily Dmitrievich Klimenko, did not have any paternal feelings: the boy was completely uninteresting to him. Therefore, from childhood, the mother, Vera Gavrilovna Shatunova, dealt with all the difficulties associated with raising a child. Unfortunately, she passed away in 1984.
Left an orphan, little Yura at first lived with his own aunt, but even here he was not very welcome. So, at the age of 11, the boy ended up in an orphanage, after staying there for some time, he was transferred to Orenburg boarding school No. 2. This is where his creative life begins.
The biography of Yuri Shatunov was decorated with new events. In 1986, he met Sergei Kuznetsov, the head of a music group. Together they recorded the first few songs on the tape recorder available in the cultural center. This is how the first cast of “Tender May” appeared. We have not yet said a single word about the other two participants - bass guitarist Vyacheslav Ponomarev and Sergei Serkov (he was responsible for the light and music).
Biography of Yuri Shatunov: the beginning of his career
In 1988, the manager of the Moscow Record studio, Andrei Razin, accidentally heard the song “White Roses” and decided to find the boy performer at all costs. He, as we already know, turned out to be Yuri Shatunov. After some time, Razin arrived at the Orenburg boarding school, but the soloist was not there - he ran away. When Yura was found, he and the other group members went to Moscow, where a new group, “Tender May,” appeared.
It existed for a relatively short time. In 1992, Shatunov left the team, which marked the beginning of the collapse of Tender May. Razin's attempts to recreate the group with Yuri Barabash did not yield any results. So “Tender May” completely disintegrated.
Solo career
The biography of Yuri Shatunov is full of secrets and mysteries. Let's understand further. After leaving his previous team, the singer tried to start a solo career. But, as it turned out, the 90s were not the most favorable time for this. However, in 1992, an album by a young singer entitled “So May is over...” appeared. In the same year, Yura received an invitation from Alla Pugacheva. At the "Christmas Meetings" some compositions from this album were presented. After the performance, fate prepares a new period of trials for the artist.
Refusing further cooperation with Pugacheva, Yura decides to work independently. However, he ends up in the hospital for 2 months with acute gastritis, and his producer A. Kudryashov also ended up there.
The biography of Yuri Shatunov is unlikely to seem boring. Another terrible event occurs in his life: in 1993, he witnessed the murder of his old friend, Mikhail Sukhomlinov. Six months later, the artist’s second solo album, “Do You Remember,” appeared, however, it did not bring huge success, especially financial. The presentation of this record even gave rise to rumors that Shatunov was gradually beginning to lose his popularity. The situation did not change after the appearance of a remix album called “Artificial Respiration.”
The difficulties in my career do not stop there. In 1999, one very unpleasant circumstance became clear: the musical material on which the artist had spent a lot of time was being published illegally in Germany. This led to long trials, which took place in Munich. In this regard, Yuri Shatunov had to spend a lot of time in Germany, and soon he even became a citizen of this state. In 2001, a new album entitled “Remember May” appeared. Remember the song “Forget”? But it was she who became the main hit of the record. After this, Russian fans did not hear anything about the artist for a long time.
The singer's return
The biography of Yuri Shatunov, known to many, continues with the events of 2009. At this time, he goes on tour to many cities in Russia. He was prompted to make this decision by the feature film “Tender May,” which tells in detail about the fate of the legendary group.
In 2010, the artist was invited to film the comedy series “Happy Together,” after which the public heard new compositions. Several new tracks appeared in 2011. A year later, the singer recorded the album “I Believe.”
Biography of Yuri Shatunov: family
In 2007, in Germany, the artist married a girl whom he had previously dated for 7 years. Yuri Shatunov’s wife, Svetlana, whose biography is practically unknown, gave birth to his son Denis in 2006, and in 2013 - daughter Estela. The boy's baptism took place in the city of Sochi, and Andrei Razin became his godfather. Today, Shatunov and his family live in Germany.
