However, the singer claimed that the late cancellation of the tonight’s ceremony at Dinamo Stadium is a revenge for his participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012:

At the state broadcaster, our participation was canceled … Whatever happens behind the prohibitions, there are evidence and witnesses.”

Lamenting that it was the second cancellation in a single week, “is it still not enough to stop us from” punishing “for Eurovision,” he said, recalling that the group participated in the event in Baku after Alyona Lanskaya was disqualified in competition, for corruption of votes.
