Spring couple: SHAMAN introduced his new love to the public

A public kiss with Ekaterina Mizulina is a step that has been expected from SHAMAN for a long time, but the singer clearly decided to save it for a concert in honor of International Women's Day. Before that, there were rumors and speculation, but now the singer's relationship with the social activist has become a fact. There were plenty of witnesses to this romantic gesture: the new program was sold out at the Moscow Live Arena, 7,000 tickets were sold. Izvestia visited the concert and appreciated not only the kiss, but also the new songs that SHAMAN wrote.

SHAMAN recalled the divorce and confessed his feelings to his new lover

For the first time, the artist presented a show dedicated to "dear fans" a year ago in Moscow, and then in St. Petersburg. The audience loved the program so much that SHAMAN decided to make it a festive tradition.

The new program "You are mine — 2025" will be seen in other Russian cities after the concert in the capital. The artist has already announced a tour with the same name on his resources.

March 9 is the red day of the singer's army of fans, the same as International Women's Day. SHAMAN announced his show exactly one year ago. Then, from the stage of Crocus City Hall, the artist announced that he was waiting for everyone here, on March 9, 2025. By that time, he promised to prepare a new program, "You are mine — 2025." Tickets went on sale immediately, and many took this information as a guide to action.

And a year later, the artist's solo performance was sold out again. Only the venue had to be changed. SHAMAN dedicated a "Requiem 03/22/24" to the victims of the terrorist attack.

"Everyone is used to seeing me with a civic attitude and patriotic songs," the artist said then before the concert. — Last year we conducted an experiment, presented a lyrical program, and, as it turned out, I am interesting to the public as a singer singing about love. We decided to continue. I'm thinking of continuing next year. This time, the audience is waiting for Alla Dukhova's ballet "Todes", 40 people will be on stage. He also invited aerialists. And, of course, there will be a lot of pyrotechnics.

In general, every year SHAMAN tries to jump over his head in an effort to surprise. And it's worth noting that he succeeds. The audience came to the concert at the Live Arena not as families, but as organized groups. Among the fans of the artist, Izvestia, for example, welcomed guests from Slovakia. Lena and her husband Robert, a miner, met the artist a year ago at Crocus. This time, Lena, as an artist's representative in the European Union, brought SHAMAN fan clubs from the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Slovakia to Moscow.

"We were united by our love for this singer,— Alyona from Bratislava and Larisa from Saratov told Izvestia. — We want to show our friends the video from this concert. And we'll bring them T-shirts with SHAMAN. We love Russia.

The military was waiting in the lobby for the show to begin.

— We are being treated in the hospital, and the volunteers invited us to a concert. When else will there be an opportunity to see SHAMAN," admitted Airborne soldier Alexander.

The soldier lost an arm and a leg near Bakhmut. But he's not discouraged.

— As soon as I get prosthetics, I will go to defend my homeland again. Victory will be ours! — he declared.

The other, Alexander, went through Chechnya, and went to defend Donbass as a volunteer. SHAMAN's songs "Let's get up" and "I'm Russian" are known by his colleagues, but prayers are being repeated more and more on the front line. Not up to the songs, they say.

The artist started the concert dedicated to women with a fire show.

"The second half of 2024 was not easy for me,— SHAMAN admitted from the stage. — There were a lot of losses, there was a divorce. Now I'm going to perform a new song and put an end to this story.

He dedicated a beautiful song "Exes" to his ex-wife Elena. And the next number of the program, the artist invited Ekaterina Mizulina to the stage. SHAMAN presented her with a bouquet of white roses and proposed.

"Maybe I'm going to embarrass myself all over Russia, but I want us to be a couple," said the artist.

Women's voices shouted from the audience: "Don't!" And men supported Yaroslav shouting: "It's bitter!!!"

A surprise awaited the audience and Ekaterina Mizulina.

Ekaterina immediately replied, "Yes," and received a hot kiss for agreeing. All this was in front of SHAMAN's parents. The artist also gave an armful of white roses to his mother. The audience and Ekaterina Mizulina were also surprised. Dronov dedicated the following song to her, "She's worth it."

SHAMAN arranged a teleconference with People's Artist of Russia Grigory Leps right at the show. While at another concert, Grigory sang the song "A Real man" with a friend. After SHAMAN, he made his debut as a chanson writer. His Gnesinka classmate Nikita Osin performed a song about love written by Yaroslav Dronov. And he said that soon no festival in this genre will be complete without his and Nikita Osin's songs.

The artist ended the show with a declaration of love for Russia. The audience received the song "I am Russian" joyfully, as expected. People waving flags glowed with red hearts and sang in unison, drowning out Drones.

SHAMAN changed seven costumes during the concert. He started in a crocodile leather jacket, continued in a white python coat and finished the performance in a white shirt and black jacket. And, according to tradition, he announced the next concert a year later at the same place at the same hour.
