She has been appearing in public with a cane since spring.

Russian singer Alla Pugacheva, an outspoken opponent of the war, attended the “Laima Rendezvous” music festival in Jurmala alongside her husband, Maxim Galkin. The singer appeared at the event with a cane, which raised questions among her fans.

The diva explained that this was due to a serious injury, from which she had to recover for a long time.

“I was immobilized for four months. I fell and broke my leg and hip joint. And to be honest, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to walk again. I had panic attacks; it was awful,” Pugacheva admitted.

According to the artist, doctors warned her that the recovery process could take about half a year. She is still experiencing pain, but continues to return to her normal lifestyle.

Pugacheva also denied rumors that she had allegedly undergone heart surgery.

The singer explained that she doesn’t use a cane all the time, but only in situations where there are a lot of people around and she needs extra confidence. She noted that for some time after her injury, she tried to walk carefully, which led those around her to draw conclusions about her condition.
