Tras una larga lucha de dos años contra un tumor cerebral, el barítono ruso Dmitri Hvorostovky ha fallecido la mañana del 22 de noviembre –paradójicamente el dia de la patrona de la música–, rodeado de sus familiares y seres queridos más cercanos. Ha sido precisamente su entorno el encargado de dar a conocer la lamentable noticia a través del perfil del cantante en Facebook, con el siguiente mensaje:
On behalf of the Hvorostovsky family, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dmitri Hvorostovsky – beloved operatic baritone, husband, father, son, and friend – at age 55. After a two-and-a-half-year battle with brain cancer, he died peacefully this morning, November 22, surrounded by family near his home in London, UK. May the warmth of his voice and his spirit always be with us.
