Alexander Revva's concerts were canceled in Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. He opposed the war

In Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar, concerts of Alexander Revva (Artur Pirozhkov), scheduled for February 15 and 16, were cancelled. He announced this on his Instagram.

I am forced to inform you that previously planned concerts are being postponed due to “technical problems related to the inability to provide high-quality support for the event” beyond my control.

Revva recalled that over the past two years, the organizers have postponed his concerts four times, but then this was due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, according to Revva, his performances have been postponed until the fall of 2023.

The artist also commented on his father Vladimir Revva’s interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. He stated that he had quarreled with his son because of the war.

“I don’t like making excuses, much less “digging through dirty laundry,” but I will still answer my “well-meaning” haters who quoted my father. So: I never had a father! My “dad” left us when my twin sister and I were only 4 months old,” Revva wrote.
