Oleg Gazmanov asked to remove him from television and retire

Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov said he was tired of the constant presence of the same artists on television and was ready to give up his place to young performers. On the radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, the 75-year-old musician urged TV editors to actively invite new talents, instead of showing the usual stars for years. Gazmanov himself admitted that filming television performances for a long time did not give him pleasure.

The artist believes that modern television lags behind the musical preferences of the audience, since interesting artists and compositions regularly appear on the Internet. According to him, representatives of the older generation should gradually free up air for young colleagues who are able to offer the public something new. At the same time, the singer stressed that no one forces him to participate in TV projects against his own will.

Despite the talk of retirement, Gazmanov is not going to complete his musical career. He explained that he still enjoys live concerts, where he can communicate directly with the audience, as opposed to performing in front of TV cameras. Moreover, the musician is ready to continue creative competition with young artists, if they can prove their skills.
