- When I had a son, I continued to giveconcerts, releasing songs, clips. Sam sometimes I wonder how I managed to lead a parallel life, because at home was the peak of night feedings, mixtures, diapers. I was not in a hurry to talk about Nikita, because I'm a well-known person, around whom there are many conversations, rumors ... I did not want this flow of gossip to concern my child. Even had to move out of town to a separate house, because when you live in an apartment, you have neighbors who can see how you go for a walk with your son. And so at least briefly managed to extend the secrecy.

I'm terribly tired, but I'm not complaining.
— Almost immediately after Nikita appeared, II wanted to get a tattoo of the letter N on my neck in honor of my son. But I knew that as soon as people saw it, they would immediately start digging around and finding out who it was dedicated to. That's why I got it when it was already known about the child. Now the tattoo is visible in all my photos, and I decided that it would be logical to call the new show N-Tour and dedicate it to my son, because he has changed me a lot. And musically too. The tour will be big, in many cities. We start with premiere concerts on April 10 in Minsk, in St. Petersburg on the 12th, in Moscow on April 19 with a concert at the Olympic, and then we go on tour not only in Russia. In 2019, we will perform in Germany and America. We are currently preparing on a large scale. Choreographer Preston Mui, who staged several Britney Spears shows, works with my dancers, and Madonna's choreographers came to visit us a month and a half ago. We have taken our aim seriously! Of course, it has become more difficult for me now. I have always been my own boss in terms of my career. Show business requires you to always be on the cutting edge: new shows, songs, videos, I also work at the Pushkin Theater, and at the same time I have to manage to raise my child. Many people try to dump everything on nannies, but I try to devote enough time to my son so that dad is present not in fits and starts, but fully. I get terribly tired, I don’t get enough sleep, but I don’t complain, it’s impossible to do otherwise. Being a good parent is also work.
I did not want anyone to make money on my child.
A photo: Daniil Velichko. Now I can not imagine how I used to live without Nikita. The public got to know about him after someone took a picture of us when my mother and Nick came to the church for a holiday. The picture was taken in one edition, and he got on the net. I did not deny that I have a son. But people even in this joyful news could find the negative. It was said that the child was not mine, but my brother or musician from the collective, that I took him from the orphanage, was photographed for the sake of PR. Thank God that all this did not happen when Nikita was still very young. I am sure that if I had told about it earlier, such negative energy flows could have a bad effect on the fragile organism. For the time being I did not show the son's face from the same motives. Last year, literally took away the phones from people who tried to stealthily take a picture of us on the plane, erase pictures, warned that this is a private life. There were constant conflicts. My decision to finally show Nikita is due to the fact that I began to travel a lot with him. And I did not want anyone to make money on my child, selling his pictures. Therefore he himself published in our "Instagram" our joint photo. I did it on December 31, on the eve of the New Year, and exhaled. Because earlier each of our joint trips turned into a special operation: I used to take pictures of hotel rooms under other people's names, when Nikita came to see me on tour. But now we live in peace.
I dedicate the holiday to my son, everything for him
Photo:Daniil Velichko - There is a difference of more than 30 years between my childhood and Nikita's. My mother did everything so that my brother and I could live well, however, we were limited in funds. At an early age, I did not travel around cities and countries, as Nikita does, he at almost four years old is already a touring person and has flown across the ocean several times. For example, I first came to Disneyland at 15, and my son - at three! When we were there together, I did not ride a single scary roller coaster, although I love them. I came to the park for the child, to show him Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, to ride the children's carousels, which I used to avoid. Now every vacation I have is for Nikita, it is dedicated to him, his needs, desires. But it is important not to spoil him. After all, at a certain age, children begin to manipulate adults. I try to catch where the whims are and where the desires are. I want to raise my child so that he knows the value of money, everything he has, and does not rely on the fact that he is the son of a famous artist. Let him achieve everything himself. Nick and I are very similar, and in childhood photos we just have the same face. Only his eyes are blue. He, like me, loves order, makes sure that everyone wears slippers at home. If someone is without them, he says: "Put on your slippers." He wipes everything, cleans up after himself. He is constantly moving, reads poetry, I behaved the same way as a child. Now my son, like me once, always stands on his head. That's why I was sent to sports gymnastics, I was constantly trying to do a bridge, or sit on the splits, or stand upside down.
