Syvokho's close friend shared how he was looking for doctors for Nina Matvienko before his death

A few weeks before the death of showman Serhiy Syvokho, radio host Anna Svyrydova asked him to help with medical treatment for the legendary singer Nina Matvienko. Syvokho did not refuse, but he preferred to keep silent about his own health problems.

Anna Svyrydova told OBOZ.UA about this during the farewell to the artist, which took place in the capital's Zhovtnevyi Palace on November 3. Syvokho passed away nine days after Matvienko's death: Nina passed away on October 8, and Serhiy on October 17.

"A few weeks before he died, I called him and told him, 'Nina Matvienko is not well, can you recommend a good doctor or a clinic?'," Anna recalls. "I passed on this information. As always, he said that everything is fine. I didn't even feel in his voice that maybe there was something wrong with his health."

"I knew that he had been ill for many years like everyone else. It was all happening right in front of our eyes," Svyrydova adds. "His wife Tania is a very strong woman. Thanks to her, he has survived for so many years. They have a very strong family. She was behind him like a stone wall, and he was behind her."

Serhiy Syvokho and Anna Svyrydova have been friends for many years. They also worked together at Radio Friday. "Serhiy was a very cool friend, this is probably the feature of him that stood out to me during the years we worked together," Anna says. "He was a guest star on Radio Friday, and he was brilliant in his broadcasts. Behind the scenes, he always treated everyone in the team very well, wished them happy birthdays, and came to visit us without any reason."

On the radio, showman Serhiy Syvokho had his own show, "Who Came to Syvokho?", where he invited celebrity guests. For two hours, he would talk to the star, joke, think about life, and ask tricky questions.

Syvokho died in Germany at the age of 55 from the effects of chronic lung disease. Serhiy arrived there for a consultation. The artist was hospitalized, and a week later he passed away.
