Musician from the Ukrainian rock band "The Second Sun" Igor Savchenko was killed in a shooting in Kiev on Saturday, April 18. This was announced on his page in the social network by his girlfriend and colleague in the musical group Marina Yurevich.

The man has a wife, Tatiana, and a daughter, Anna.

"Igor, you were a real friend, a real rocker, you never gave up, you were always there when the whole world was against it. You were the mainstay for everyone. A young soul, incredible. You loved this life so much. His family, Tanya, daughter Anyuta. And you lived with music, burned, felt that you are real when you play," the singer wrote.

She stressed that musicians often had disagreements about creativity, but the band always remained a real team.

"This is a terrible and very painful loss. I hug and cry with you, Tanyusha, Anya, all Igor's relatives and friends. You are forever in my heart, Igor," concluded Yurevich.

The "Second Sun" group was created in 2009 and was originally called "Pheromone". The band worked in the folk-rock and indie genres, but the band positioned itself as an ensemble with a diverse sound.

As EADaily reported, on April 18, a man shot four people with a carbine in the Goloseevsky district of Kiev, and then took the customers of a local supermarket hostage. The special forces who arrived at the scene, after fruitless negotiations, began storming the premises, during which the criminal was eliminated. It was later established that the attacker shot one of the hostages in the supermarket. As a result of the actions of the criminal, 14 people were injured, one of them later died in hospital. A total of seven people died. The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine qualified the shooting of people as a terrorist act.
