Details

The singer posted on Facebook footage of her performance with Harbarchuk in 2004. She noted that he will always remain in her heart.

Our Sashko Harbarchuk has left us... No words can describe what he means to me. A friend with whom we traveled the world, with whom we gave hundreds, if not thousands, of concerts, who stood with me on the Eurovision stage. Real, boundless, cheerful, sincere, talented, patriotic, energetic, inspired - that's how he was and will forever remain in our hearts. The pain is such that it's hard to even breathe now. I extend my condolences to his wife Nadia, children, brother, and the entire family

At the "Life" theater, they noted that Oleksandr came to them as a very young boy and grew into a true Master through diligent work.

In recent years, Sashko just as courageously, without unnecessary words or complaints, fought for each new day. He wanted to live, to create, to be with his family. We all believed in a miracle until the very end
