Biography

Yevgeny Viktorovich Belousov was born on September 10, 1964 in the village of Zhikhar, Kharkiv Oblast.[3]

He graduated from vocational school No 1 as mechanic-repairman[3] and later studied at the Kursk Music College, learning bass guitar. He was not conscripted to the army due to heavy concussion he suffered in a car crash as a schoolboy.

In the mid-1980s Bari Alibasov saw Belousov playing in a Kursk restaurant and invited him to join his band Integral as a singing bassist. In 1987 he started a solo career and enjoyed success with a series of hits, collected in three studio albums, My Blue-Eyed Girl (1988), Night Taxi (1990) and Devchonka-Devchonochka (1993).[4]

Starting with 1993, Belousov's health started to deteriorate and his popularity nose-dived. His stint as a distillery businessman in Ryazan proved to be a failure and he was accused of tax evasion.[5] In March 1997, he was taken to the Sklifosovsky Institute with acute pancreatitis. A month later he suffered a stroke (earlier head injuries and alcohol abuse cited as possible causes) and underwent a brain surgery.[3]

On 2 June 1997 Belousov died at the Sklifosovsky hospital, and was interred in the Kuntsevo Cemetery.
