Reports swirled in the Russian and Romanian media this month that t.A.T.u.’s Yulia Volkova (the homophobic brunette one, in case you didn’t know) has been battling laryngeal cancer.
The truth is that Volkova has received surgery for throat issues, but for problems with her vocal chords, not cancer. “I underwent another surgery a few days ago in Seoul, and previously had one in Germany,” she recently told Russia’s Hello magazine.
“It’s not easy, but I’m still singing and recording new songs. When things improve, I’ll start working on my solo album.”
