A farewell is taking place in Kyiv for the Ukrainian singer and leader of the band "ADAM," Mykhailo Krymenko, who passed away on December 7 due to a severe illness. The ceremony is being held today at the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, where family, friends, and fans of Mykhailo's artistic talent have gathered.

Many stars of the Ukrainian pop scene, who collaborated with Krymenko or were close friends, are present at the event. Among them are Volodymyr Dantes, KOLA, Helya Zozulya, and others.

The widow said goodbye to her husband

Olexandra Norova, Mykhailo's widow, touched everyone present with her speech. She thanked her husband for the years of their life together, expressed her feelings, and spoke about the last days of his life.

“It is very hard for me to speak, but there is a huge emptiness in my heart and soul. I am 100 percent sure that I lived nearly 18 years in heavenly love,” she noted.

Olexandra also recalled an omen that occurred before Mykhailo's death. She described how she saw a small ladybug at home, which she considered a sign from her husband. “I prayed so hard, I screamed, but perhaps God has his own plans for all of us,” the widow added.

Farewell words from family

Mykhailo's mother, who attended the ceremony, could not hold back her tears and spoke of her endless love and gratitude to her son, who always tried to do everything for his loved ones.

“It is sad that he is no longer with us, as he had prepared a great celebration for us,” she shared.

Burial

Mykhailo Krymenko's burial is scheduled to take place in his native village of Lubyanka in the Kyiv region following the farewell ceremony.

It is worth noting that Mykhailo Krymenko died after a long battle with tuberculous meningitis, as reported by his relatives and medical sources.
