When Stas Piekha came to the casting of “Star Factory-4”, which made him famous, of all the producers present at the selection, only Viktor Drobysh . He helped the young man become a real star and continues to work with the singer to this day. Although he admits that his ward’s character is not a gift. Edita Stanislavovna Piekha does not live on the stage alone . What else does the artist do and what is happening on the performer’s personal front, AiF.ru tells.
Sober life
Stas is one of the few representatives of show business who openly spoke about the fact that he had serious problems not only with alcohol, but also with hard drugs. The artist became addicted to such “doping” when he was only 12 years old! Only at the age of 34, having suffered a heart attack, Piekha was able to say goodbye to his addictions: “For me, the starting point was the heart. I still remember that terrible day when I thought I was going to die. I was on tour, doctors diagnosed a heart attack and incredibly high blood pressure. They were constantly giving me something, fussing, calling other doctors. There was a feeling that you were hanging by a thread... From that moment on, I realized that there was probably no chance of playing these games anymore - because if I had already had a heart attack, then the second time everything could end sadly. I called my friend and asked her to come to my apartment and throw out everything I had left, pour out all the alcohol and take me somewhere away from home. From that moment my total sobriety began,” the singer said in an interview with Amurskaya Pravda.
Article on the topic Stas Piekha: “The whole family needs to help addicts” Despite the sober life that Stas has been leading for several years, he is in no hurry to call himself a former drug addict: “I am a drug addict, let’s call a spade a spade. There are no former drug addicts, there are people who recover and are in remission for 30...50 years. But I still have a certain mindset,” the artist confessed in the “Secret to a Million” program.
For five years, Piekha not only leads a sober lifestyle in all respects, but also helps others free themselves from addictions. Together with his sister Erica, the singer opened a drug treatment clinic, where he communicates with patients and talks about his many years of struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction.

Self-love begins with... brushing your teeth.
The most important thing in a woman... is her mom and dad. Because she can be façade beautiful as much as she wants, but if the family history was destructive, difficult, then this will manifest itself in any case in some unhealthy form, and I will not be happy with this woman. You need to feel its energy. Well, before you draw any conclusions about a girl, look at her mother - everything will become clear.
I'm learning...to always forgive. I would like to believe that I can forgive everything that happened in my life. But, probably, I’m unlikely to forgive any kind of physical violence, mutilation of me without a reason.

I can cause a scandal... on tour if my technical rider on stage is not fulfilled.
An event that divided life into before and after... a heart attack at 34 years old.
I spent my first salary on... a taxi. It was very small for me.
To cope with addiction, you need... to want it.
In marriage I learned... to understand that I don't understand anything.
Now I'm listening on repeat... tracks by the Australian artist GUM.
The most awkward date... was when I was planning to go for a walk in the park, and the girl called a stylist friend who recommended that she wear an evening dress and heels. She thought we were going to a restaurant. As a result, I went out in sneakers and shorts, and she arrived in an evening dress. We came to the park for a walk - in heels, she felt awkward... And then we arrived at the restaurant, my outfit was already inappropriate, and I felt awkward. Things ended up going awry because we had different ideas about dating. After that, by the way, we didn’t communicate for two months - we realized that we didn’t understand each other. But then they resumed communication.
My son taught me... to be more responsible.
