MOSCOW, July 22 Singer Natalya Chistyakova-Ionova commented on her performance in Krasnoyarsk at Metallurgist Day, citing the use of antidepressants and sleeping pills as the reason for her strange behavior on stage.

“I’ve been on stage since I was 14 years old and I’m always frank with my audience, so I want to tell you how I ended up in this situation at a concert in Krasnoyarsk… I lost sleep, I went to the doctor because the panic attacks became very strong. I was prescribed medications: sleeping pills and antidepressants. “This is the first time in my life that I’m taking such medications and I didn’t know how they affected me,” Ionova wrote on her Instagram account*.
The singer said that her health problems began due to stress. Ionova lost her grandmother Lydia, who raised her, and at the same time a conflict between the performer and her former producer Maxim Fadeev began.
“I’m very sorry that I upset you… For me, my audience is priceless, the stage for me is my whole life. I want to apologize for disappointing you,” she added.
Ionova noted that family and friends help her overcome difficulties.
““Thank you for your support to those who wrote and supported. Please take care of your loved ones, perhaps right now they need your support,” the singer concluded.
It was previously reported in Telegram channels that Ionova behaved strangely at Metallurgist Day in Krasnoyarsk, almost disrupting the concert. After this incident, Maxim Fadeev stated that Ionova is not part of the Gluk'oZa group, and a lawsuit will be filed in the near future, which will deprive her of the opportunity to use this pseudonym and Fadeev's music.
