Died the leader of the group “Different people” Alexander Chernetsky

At the 61st year of life died the leader of the group “Different people” Alexander Chernetsky. This was reported on his page “Vkontakte” musician Garik Sukachev.

“The sad news has come. Died a wonderful musician, the leader of the group Different people Alexander Chernetsky. Bright memory! he wrote.

Sukachev did not specify the cause of death.

Chernetsky was born on January 10, 1966 in Kharkiv. He graduated from secondary school No. 94 in 1983. In the same year, together with his cousin, he organized a school group “Carbonaria”, but the team broke up after a year and a half. Soon Chernetsky, studying at the technical school, assembled a new group - "Rock Fan". In 1985, keyboardist and songwriter Sergey Shchelkanovtsev joined the group, and the group changed its name to Rock Front.

As part of the group, Chernetsky performed at the Riga Festival in 1987 under the name “Different People”. The group received the Audience Award and the official second place after “Chyfe”. Later, the team moved to St. Petersburg.

Since the 1990s, Chernetsky has suffered from Bekhterev's disease - chronic inflammation of the joints and spine. In 1991 and 1992 in St. Petersburg, the musician underwent endoprosthetics of both hip joints. The next major operations he underwent in 1997, 2003 and 2011.
