Ukrainian actor Andrey Danilko really “a little over thirty” - this year he will celebrate his 45th anniversary. And he spent about half his life in the form Verka Serduchka - an impudent conductor with a terrible accent. He came up with this image while still in school, and Verka earned popularity in the 90s, touring the countries of the former USSR with concerts and somehow combining this difficult process with his studies. This image disappeared from the TV screen to the people when Danilko began hosting the humorous talk show “SV-show” on the “1+1” channel. Then he also started singing - in general, now Serduchka is an indispensable part of the Ukrainian cultural landscape, which can single-handedly literally pull out the very boring Eurovision, which was held in Kyiv in 2017.
And so Andrei Danilko decided to part with the stage image that the audience loved. He announced this on the eve of the concert, which will take place on July 13 in Odessa. There will probably be other performances, but on the artist’s website there is currently only one inscription: “Vacation.”
“This will be a grandiose performance by an artist who misses her audience,” the vesti-ukr.com portal quotes Danilko as saying. — A brilliant show worthy of Verka Serduchka. She is already a holiday in herself! By the way, in addition to well-known songs, Verka has prepared several new compositions, the premiere of which will take place in Odessa.”
The farewell tour itself will not begin soon - in about a year. The exact dates have not yet been announced, as well as the cities in which Serduchka will perform. Nor does Danilko name the reasons that forced him to break up with his conductor Verka.

The mini-album included four tracks: “Swedish lullaby”, “Sexy”, “Disco kicks” and “Make it rain champagne” (was presented earlier).
Talking about his new work, Andrei Danilko noted that all four compositions are designed to give people sunshine in this dark year.
“Sexy” is our dedication to all the Eurovision fans in gratitude for their warmth and support they have given us all these years. We want everyone to dance and smile despite these crazy times. A glass of cold champagne never hurt anyone!” - he said.
Verka Serduchka’s latest album, “Doremi doredo,” was released in 2008.
Verka Serduchka – Sexy
The album begins with “Swedish Lullaby,” a song that glorifies Sweden, the country where Ukraine received its last Eurovision win with Jamala in 2020. The song includes a quick twist from the popular Swedish drinking game "Helan går".
“No more tears in the champagne, burn your castle out of shame, only winners in this game, hush, hush, don’t cry, sing a Swedish lullaby,” Serduchka sings.
The champagne theme continues in the sensual title track “Sexy”:
"You feel sexy, you're hot, bring the champagne, let's make it popular, we don't need haters, we were born to dance all the way from Tokyo and back to Amsterdam."
The song is based on a Middle Eastern sound - the instrumental part contains a quote from "Everyway that I Can" by Sertab Erener and "She Got Me" by Luca Hanney. In addition, it has a counting rhyme in German.
“Disco Kicks” is the most blatant comeback to the theme of tolerance. Combining disco with vintage '80s synth, the song isn't just an ode to stylish footwear—it's dedicated to all genders and allows people to walk down the street in whatever they want and move however they feel comfortable. Verka is the most famous transvestite in Eastern Europe.
“I'm cool like Al Pacino, hot like a cappuccino, I'm the queen of everything. I've got thighs like Cinderella, smooth like mozzarella, watch me do my thing."
The mix of pop and Middle Eastern sounds continues with the song directly dedicated to champagne, “Make it rain champagne.” Thematically, “champagne” personifies not only French sparkling wine, but also Verka’s invigorating spirit and her philosophy aimed at making every moment unforgettable, regardless of gender:
“You're sitting in the bathroom, you're on the train, you're waiting at the bus stop, you have to make it rain. Take the girl, take the guy, together we’ll make it rain.”
Released in December 2020, the song could have entered Eurovision. The track is under three minutes long, catchy, and provides endless possibilities for crazy production. It was also written by two Swedish songwriters: national finalist Andreas Örn and "Euphoria" co-writer Peter Boström. During an appearance on the Ukrainian TV show “Evening Premiere” with Katerina Osadchaya, Verka stated that if another “Maruvian scandal” breaks out around the final of the national final of Ukraine, “the song is basically ready” for Eurovision.
However, later Andrei Danilko stated that “Serdyuchka wanted it, but Danilko was against it.”
What is Andrey Danilko doing now?
Today the artist tries to avoid people. He has no thoughts about marriage; he is quite happy with his share of being a bachelor. According to him, the desire to start a family disappeared many years ago.
Danilko, unlike the sociable Verka, prefers to spend time alone, listening to audio books or watching TV.
Now you can follow his new, calm and uneventful life by subscribing to his Instagram.
At the moment, it’s hardly worth expecting Serduchka to return to the big stage. Its “creator” himself lost interest in this image. Nevertheless, the cheerful and extravagant Ukrainian lady with a large bust left a significant mark on the history of show business.
Sad clown Andrey Danilko
The artist has been living in Kyiv for many years. He bought an apartment in the very heart of the capital, so that from the window it was immediately clear: this is Kyiv. The apartment is not a whim, not an attempt to show off your wealth. The artist is trying to please himself with at least something, to prove that the years side by side with Verka were not in vain.
Alas, while Danilko was entertaining the audience, his personal life went downhill. From a young age, the artist dreamed of having his own large family, but never got married. He was repeatedly credited with having affairs with his partners in the “SV Show”, but all this is far from the truth.
In recent years, Danilko has hardly been on tour. In 2018, one of his ill-wishers spread a myth online that the artist would hold his last concert and leave the stage. In his blog, Danilko denied this, but the performances really became very few.
Andrei Danilko was invited to the role of judge in a talent show, and for several seasons he sat in the spectator’s chair. Whether he will return to this role again is not yet known.
The disappearance of Andrei Danilko from the screens is connected with his state of mind. For many years now he has felt like a hostage to Verka Serduchka. The conductor, who is so loved in many countries, took away Danilko’s opportunity to try on other roles. It took Andrei Danilko years to realize and accept this fact.

Now the famous and popular Ukrainian artist Andrei Danilko, performing in the stage image of Verka Serduchka, is 46 years old. How quickly time flew by. Everyone probably remembers how a young guy began his career by performing as a conductor, then became the host of his own show.
Many famous artists came to his program, with whom Andrei conducted a conversation in the same image and in the decoration of a reserved seat carriage. It was after this show that the artist gained real popularity. He began actively recording songs and performing as Verka Serduchka.
For all this time, none of the fans knew what was really going on in the personal life of the famous artist. The thing is that Andrei Danilko tries to carefully hide his personal life from prying eyes. Apparently he feels more comfortable this way. And he has every right to do so. In this regard, the artist appears in splendid isolation at all social events.
There was a time when fans for many years believed that the famous comedian and singer Andrei Danilko had a passion for men. That is, there were rumors about his unconventional orientation.
However, quite recently a photo appeared on the Internet in which Andrei Danilko was captured with a woman. This indicates that the artist has a normal traditional orientation.
One of the famous singers EL Kravchuk, who has been a close and long-time friend of Andrei Danilko for many years, posted one entertaining photo on the social network Instagram. This photograph shows two lovers. The camera lens caught Andrei, who at that moment was kissing some representative of the fair sex.
This girl is very similar to Inna Belokon. It is Inna who has been working with Andrei on the team for many years and plays the “mother” of Verka Serduchka. It is worth noting that this unique shot was taken at one of the famous resorts in Miami.
This is how Andrei Danilko accidentally became the cause of conversation among the press and a large number of his fans. Now they are all eager to find out who this young lady is, what kind of relationship she has with the artist, whether they are serious, how long the couple has been together.
In any case, fans of the artist who plays Veerka Serduchka are very surprised by this news. But they sincerely wish that the famous performer would finally find happiness in his personal life.
