Mate, cigarettes, drunk artist? Or the "best" Leps concert in Vladivostok

The concert of the People's Artist of Russia Grigory Leps in Vladivostok was sold out, but was ambiguously received by the audience, leaving someone outraged and someone wildly delighted. This is reported by the telegram channel "Far Eastern Vedomosti".

"According to the audience, the artist came on stage in a state that many described as drunk. Instead of the full performance of the declared repertoire, Leps performed only a part of the songs, and between the musical numbers he allowed himself obscene statements that shocked the audience," the publication says.

It is specified that the age limit of the concert was indicated as 12+, however, one of the spectators called Leps's behavior "inappropriate" and noted that many came with children younger than the established qualification.

In the comments, the artist's fans refute the critics: Leps sang for 3 hours, performed 32 songs, "was absolutely sober," "gave his all 100," "well, yes, he made a little grimace — but this is Leps, it's strange to expect something else from him." One of the spectators posted a video of the artist's jump, indicating that "if I was drunk, I wouldn't have been able to resist."

Representatives of the Fetisov Arena concert venue stated that they had not received any complaints from the concert audience.

"There have been no complaints, no requests for a refund, either," a representative of the scene told RIA Novosti.

At the same time, the telegram channel Readovka notes, for the "shocking" behavior of Leps at a concert with smoking and familiarity, each of those present paid from 3.2 thousand to 20 thousand rubles. This performance brought 42 million rubles to the singer.

As reported by EADaily, earlier Leps said that there are not so many years left before the end of his career.

"Well, how much longer can I work? Maybe ten years at most," he believes.

Leps suggested that oblivion might come next, but added that he would always find "kefir with doctor's sausage."
