Andrey Bandera is called a folk singer. The first hits of the performer sounded on the waves of the Chanson radio, when no one knew him by sight. Neither advertising nor PR-technologies with financial injections into promotion were useful to the singer: Andrei Bandera sang, and his work found a direct path to the hearts of listeners.
For a long time, fans scooped up information about the artist on his website. But after the rotation of the songs "Maple", "Ivushki" and "Rus" on the radio waves of "Chanson", Andrei Bandera stepped out of the shadows and appeared on stage and television.
Eduard Anatolyevich Izmestiev (real name of the singer) was born in April 1971 in the Perm region. Childhood and youthful years of the future chanson star passed in the mining town of Kizel.
Eduard's love for music and vocals manifested itself in his youth: all the guy's leisure time was spent playing percussion instruments and in a gypsy camp, located not far from the Izmestievs' dwelling. The young musician was friends with gypsy peers. Despite the fact that Edward himself did not belong to this nationality, he enthusiastically listened to songs with a guitar by the fire.
After graduating from school, Eduard Izmestyev in 1985, at the insistence of his parents, entered the local mining technical school, but did not leave music and vocal lessons. In his student years, the guy organized the Atlantis musical group, which performed at city and student discos.
After receiving the diploma, Izmestyev, like his classmates, went to work at the mine, but music remained the main passion in life.
In Atlantis, Eduard Izmestyev sang, composed poems for songs, wrote music and arrangements for them, acted as a producer of the band. The number of compositions written by the musician reached a hundred; as part of the group, he recorded 11 albums. Songs from them repeatedly got into the rotation of "Autoradio" and won at music festivals. But in 1999, the producer and soloist moved to Moscow, and Atlantis ceased to exist.
Andrey Bandera moved to the capital as an arranger, having received an invitation from the Soyuz-production company. God Izmestyev made arrangements of songs for Russian pop stars,. Thanks to joint work with Eduard Izmestyev, he met Nikita Bogoslovsky, communication with whom inspired the singer to creative achievements. In 2000, he took up his career. This year there was a project.
The debut composition in the chanson genre, called "By Stage", did not bring fame to the author. The release of a dozen more compositions by Andrey Bandera, written by the composer and arranger from 2000 to 2004, was not crowned with success. The musician from Perm felt the taste of fame after the release of the soulful song "Ivushki", which got into the rotation of "Chanson".
Andrey Bandera - "Ivushki"The songs "Maple" and "Rus" appeared behind "Ivushka". A flurry of calls from listeners rang out in the radio station's studio: fans of the singer's work demanded that the songs of the favorite be staged regularly. Fans found information about the performer on his website, through which Andrei Bandera brought the idea of \u200b\u200bfolk production to life. Those who wished to leave wishes, lyrics or ready-made arrangements of compositions that they wanted to hear performed by Eduard on the site.
In collaboration with fans and listeners, Andrey Bandera created the folk hits "Stranger", "Metelitsa", "Sheremetyevo" and "Beloved", the video for which gained half a million views on YouTube.
Andrey Bandera - "Beloved"The artist's creative biography developed rapidly: Andrey Bandera's debut on stage took place in the winter of 2006 at the Olimpiysky sports complex: the audience first saw the face of an idol at the Eh, Razgulyay! festival.
Towards the end of 2006, in December, Andrey Bandera's team performed in the "chanson" club of the capital "Medianik-Club". And in the spring of next year, the Permian gave concerts in northern Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk.
In 2007, Andrey Bandera's fans welcomed his debut album "Because I Love". The disc, although it was released in thousands of copies, did not satisfy the demand of the public, so the album was re-released more than once. The debut disc included the songs "Doves" and "Most Desirable", beloved by music lovers.
Andrey Bandera - "The Most Desirable"In 2007 and 2008, Andrey Bandera's concerts were held in Russian cities and in Europe. The singer was warmly received in Spain, and at home the performances were accompanied by a full house. The hits of the performer appeared in the repertoire of thousands of restaurant musicians in the post-Soviet countries. In 2008, the artist presented fans with a karaoke DVD “Because I Love You” by recording backing tracks of songs from the album.
In April 2009, Andrei Bandera, together with a chanson performer, recorded a joint program “It’s Impossible Not to Love” and performed in the Kremlin, and in October 2011 Andrei’s solo concert took place on the same stage, at which Rada Rai was present as a guest star. The full recording of the grandiose performance, posted on the YouTube channel, was watched by 2.7 million people.
Rada Rai and Andrey Bandera - "It's Impossible Not to Love"Andrey Bandera's compositions "Beloved", "Fields of Russia", "Stranger" and "Metelitsa" are the fruit of the singer's Internet collaboration with authors and the crown of folk production.
Andrey Bandera is a 6-time winner of the Chanson of the Year award. In 2009, the singer's duet with Rada Rai "You fly, my soul" received the main award of the festival "Song of the Year". And in 2010, at the anniversary ceremony in honor of the 10th anniversary of the radio "Chanson", the composition "The Stranger" by Andrei Bandera was awarded the title of the best hit of the radio studio.
The chansonnier's second album, entitled "It's Impossible Not to Love," received no less popularity than the first, and was sold in thousands of copies.
Andrey Bandera - "Touch"The third disc "Touch" Andrey Bandera recorded in 2011. The album included the composition "Hooked", which was liked by the singer's fans. Songs based on the verses “You are my fallen maple”, “I'm tired of living in my native land” and “Rash, talyanka” are especially popular.
At the end of 2013, the Soyuz-Production company, after the expiration of the contract with Andrey Bandera, did not renew the contract: the singer, due to the events in Ukraine, abandoned the stage name "Andrey Bandera" and has since performed under his own name. The brand has been taken over by the singer since March 2014.
Interestingly, the producers repeated the initial stage of name promotion, when the performer did not appear in public and did not give concerts, he only gave listeners the opportunity to get acquainted with new songs. But soon Evgeny Konovalov began to appear on stage. Of course, the ratings of the artist fell for the first time. But gradually "Andrey Bandera" regained the favor of chanson lovers.
To engage in creativity under his own name was Andrey's old dream, but the terms of the contract did not allow him to do this. Initially, there were fears that the public would react negatively to the rebranding, but the very first tours showed the opposite.
At the same time, Izmestyev claimed that he did not want to be associated in the minds of fans with a Ukrainian nationalist, therefore, he deliberately distanced himself from a name that has a negative connotation. But the main thing is that the child born to the artist in 2013, when he grows up, recognizes his father under his real name.
In 2016, the chansonnier performs under the name of Eduard Izmestiev and gives fans his work. The ballad "Lost Happiness" appeared in his repertoire. In the same year, a video clip was shot for the popular song of 2014 "Nochka". Under a new stage name, Edward became a guest of the Star Solitaire program, broadcast on Chanson TV, and the Dialogues program, which airs on local television in the city of Kamensk-Uralsky.
Andrey Bandera - "And I'm bringing you daisies"In 2017, the artist presented the fans with the fifth album of her discography, which was called "To want to live ...". This is the second solo record of the musician, released under his own name. The first was the Enchanted Heart disc, which appeared in 2014.
Eduard Izmestyev prefers to remain silent about personal matters, masterfully avoiding questions from journalists and fans about life outside the stage, about family and children. Relatives asked the chansonniers to protect their names from the public and protect them from paparazzi and unnecessary hype, so photos of relatives do not end up on the pages of social networks and tabloids, with rare exceptions.
It is known that the wife of the singer was a woman named Laura, who has been with him through life since no one knew Edward.
The second half prophesied her husband a performance in the Kremlin, when he did not even dream of such a thing. In a marriage with a beloved woman, Izmestyev had a daughter, Diana. The artist is in complete harmony with himself, he has everything necessary for this - his favorite business and family.
Edward has a brother, Victor, with whom at the dawn of his creative career he planned to perform in a duet. But Victor chose the role of a backing vocalist in the team of his older brother.
In June 2017, a popular performer visited the music festival "Slavianski Bazaar" in Vitebsk, where he brought the song "You are like rain." The artist can be heard on the Chanson radio, where he became a frequent guest of the Star Breakfast program.
Eduard Izmestiev - "You are like rain"In 2017, the performer plans to tour in Russia and abroad and perform at the Slavianski Bazaar music festival in Vitebsk, Belarus, after which he will go to concerts in major cities of the post-Soviet countries. During 2017, the artist made a number of performances in the cities of Russia.
The chanson star lives in the capital. Izmestyev's tour schedule is saturated: 15-18 concerts every month. Eduard likes to work not only on solo projects. Using the musical material that amateur musicians send him, the artist records duets with singer-songwriters unknown to the general public. The singer believes that any collaboration gives a new experience that can be used in your work.
Now Eduard Izmestyev continues his collaboration with the singer Rada Rai, with whom he has been successfully touring and recording new songs for 10 years now. In 2018, the chanson stars prepared for fans a new duet "Carelessly" to the verses of Andrey Chernikov and the music of Eduard Izmestyev. The artists are not afraid of experiments, so they finalized the arrangement of the final recording of the song during joint concerts, finding new colors of sound at each of them. In this musical composition, the performers left their favorite gypsy style of singing.
Eduard draws inspiration for creating his own compositions from ethnic and electronic music, the singer gets acquainted with the latest in pop music and the chanson genre at the studio, where he allocates the time of the beginning of the working day for such listening.
Not far from the place where the guy lived, there was a gypsy camp. Eduard spent a lot of time there: he was friends with gypsy boys, listened to how adult gypsies sang their songs with amazing sincerity and soulfulness to the guitar. Absorbing these unusual intonations, Edward fell in love with music even more.
After graduating from the technical school, the guys entered adulthood, each went to work; Eduard, like most of the inhabitants of his city, began to work at the mine, but did not abandon his musical brainchild.
Eduard was both a songwriter, and a soloist, and a composer-arranger, as well as a producer of Atlantis. The success of the group was not long in coming. Possessing great potential and many ideas as a lyricist and composer, Eduard wrote about 100 songs for his group (together the group recorded 11 albums), which successfully entered the rotation of Avtoradio and participated in numerous concerts and festivals. The history of the Atlantis group ended in 1999, along with Izmestyev's move to Moscow.
Bandera's first song "By Stage" in the chanson genre did not "shoot", remaining almost unnoticed. The same fate awaited a number of the following compositions. This continued until 2004, until Andrey Bandera wrote a truly sincere and folk song "Ivushki", which the public liked so much that it made Andrey popular in one day, immediately after it was released into rotation on the radio "Chanson".
Andrey Bandera - "Ivushki"
After the presentation of "Ivushki" Andrey Bandera's career rapidly went up. In 2007, his debut album "Because I Love" was released. The huge circulation of the album could not satisfy the demand of the public, so the disc had to be re-released several times.
The singer's second album, "It's Impossible Not to Love", was released 2 years later - in 2009. It became even more popular than Bandera's debut album. In the same year, the singer's duet with performer Rada Rai was released - the song "You fly my soul" found a response in the souls of all lovers of Russian folk songs.
Andrey Bandera and Rada Rai - "You fly my soul"
Eduard Izmestiev (Andrey Bandera) - "The Enchanted Bird"
The official website of Andrey Bandera invited his fans to take a direct part in the life and work of their idol. Everyone could offer the idea of a song, text or music, as well as invite a singer on tour to their city. Such an extraordinary step was liked by Bandera fans. They actively participated in the project, and this cooperation soon bore fruit. Thanks to the joint work of Andrei Bandera with his "people's producers", such popular songs as "Metelitsa" and "Fields of Russia" were released.
With the help of fans, Andrey Bandera's third album, Touch, was recorded.
About the wife of Andrei Bandera, it is only known that she supported the singer in every possible way at the beginning of his journey and prophesied for him a concert in the Kremlin, which at that time was difficult to even imagine. The prophecy came true - Edward really performed with a concert in the Kremlin, and after that he said that he would not have succeeded if it were not for the support of his wife.
Eduard Izmestyev has a younger brother Victor. At the beginning of their career, they planned to perform together, as a duet. But fate decided otherwise, and Victor became a backing vocalist in the team of Andrei Bandera.
Eduard Anatolievich Izmestiev(born April 25, 1971, Kizel, Perm Region) is a Russian composer, arranger, sound engineer, sound producer and songwriter.
Name Andrey Bandera heard recently. After the rotation of his songs "Ivushki", "Rus" and "Maple" on the radio "Chanson", they became interested in the singer's work on the Internet. And the radio station's telephones were bursting with a flurry of calls. Andrey's success had nothing to do with PR technologies or advertising, he was not a participant in artificial scandals and did not make populist statements. He just sang...
The only resource where you could find information about Andrei Bandera was his strict website bandera.ru. It is there that the singer communicates with fans and admirers. A direct connection was required between the artist and the production team for the realization of the unique idea of folk production. Musical material, working versions and arrangements were presented to the audience, who, communicating with the artist and among themselves, participate in the birth of songs.
The work of Andrei Bandera is understandable, but not primitive; available, but not marginal. He is honest with himself and his listeners, does not exploit the prison theme, since he has never served time, does not force his voice, hoarsely portraying "he who has seen a lot in his lifetime." Penetrating vocals with a share of gypsy intonations - the voice of an open person who sincerely loves life. The arrangements are carefully thought out and weighed, there is no excessive pretentiousness in them, enough "air" is left. This balance was facilitated by both folk production and friends involved in the creative process - professional musicians, including Viktor, Andrey's younger brother, who became the backing vocalist of the group.
Andrei is 35 years old (b. 04/25/1971), and everything he had to do in life is somehow connected with music. Born into a family of hereditary Kuban Cossacks, he spent a lot of time in a gypsy camp near the village. It was the gypsies, these eternal wanderers, who taught the boy to sing in a special way. Friendship with the gypsies gave birth in him to a passion for the road and freedom, instilled a love for horses. As a teenager, he runs away from home and hitchhikes the country for several years, making a living singing. Knows the need and all the hardships of a vagabond life. Later, Bandera gets a job in a restaurant, where he improves his guitar playing skills, masters keyboard instruments and computer musical technologies.
In the late 90s, Andrey Bandera moved to Moscow, where he began working with the production company Soyuz Production. Andrei's first songs are heard on Russian radio stations. In 2004, radio "Chanson" for the first time puts on the air the compositions of Andrey Bandera.
Andrey Bandera's debut album "Because I Love" was released on February 12, 2007. Sold out in bulk, constantly reprinted.
Now Andrey rehearses a lot with his group, begins concert activity. However, despite the offers of many record labels, he is still not going to be a product of advertising and an artificial star.
Andrey Bandera considers direct communication with listeners at concerts and on the Internet, the participation of fans and folk producers in all stages of work on songs and an album as the main reason for his success and is going to follow this course further.
2007.
Today Andrey Bandera- a popular, sought-after performer with a bright recognizable repertoire. About 15 concerts every month in large (from 500 to 2000 seats) halls, not counting performances at private custom events.
More than two hours of concert program, including songs from the debut album "Because I Love" and new ones; a group of professional musicians, many of whom also perform solo; consistent quality of live sound at every concert; each new song recognized as a hit and occupying the top lines of the charts (including "Chanson of the Year" on the Moscow radio "Chanson") - all this is today's Andrey Bandera.
His name was heard recently. After the rotation of his songs "Ivushki", "Rus" and "Maple" on the radio "Chanson", the Internet became interested in the singer's work. And the radio station's telephones were bursting with a flurry of calls. Andrey's success had nothing to do with PR technologies or advertising, he was not a participant in artificial scandals and did not make populist statements. He just sang...
The secret of Andrey Bandera is in constant work together with the audience, they are the most biased critics and producers. Placing unfinished songs on the site, responding to reasoned criticism and considering any, even the most daring at first glance, ideas and proposals, inviting folk producers to concerts, to record songs in the studio, to special production meetings, not to mention the constant influx of talented authors with their bright works - all this gives its results.
The work of Andrei Bandera is understandable, but not primitive; available, but not marginal. He is honest with himself and his listeners, does not exploit the prison theme, since he has never served time, does not force his voice, hoarsely portraying "he who has seen a lot in his lifetime."

Andrey took a special part in the recording of the camp audio history "Father Arseniy", a joint project with Alexander Marshal and Anya Vorobey. He performs some of the songs from this audio story at concerts.

Andrey Bandera- Russian singer. The name, image, rights to the repertoire and recorded songs of Andrei Bandera belong to the Moscow production company Soyuz Production, which produces it. The authors of the image and pseudonym "Andrey Bandera" are the general producer of this company Vyacheslav Klimenkov and the general director Elena Podkolzina.
At the beginning of 2006, the Moscow production company Soyuz Production and radio Shanson (Moscow) reached an agreement on the active promotion of one of the company's performers, who had previously recorded several phonograms by order of the company, published as songs by singer Andrei Bandera. The first "Andrei Bandera" on stage was the singer, now known under the pseudonym Viktor Krasavin. However, at the end of 2006, for concert work, the company offered to work as a second "front man" to the arranger who sang in these phonograms.
For some time, two soloists, “brothers Viktor and Andrey Bandera”, worked on the stage as a project of Andrey Bandera, in this line-up the team performed for the first time on a large venue: on November 1, 2006, on the stage of the Olimpiysky in the concert of radio Chanson, “E -uh, roam! ”, and several corporate parties were also played. However, the first solo concert in April 2007 in Severodvinsk was already one "Andrei Bandera". On October 31, 2013, the contract of the production company Soyuz Production with the former vocalist was completed. The Soyuz Production company retains exclusive rights to the entire repertoire of Andrey Bandera, as well as to the brand itself.
On March 1, 2014, under the name Andrey Bandera, a new soloist Evgeny Konovalov begins to perform. Eugene is a singer-songwriter, a member of the People's Producer community, he wrote the music for the songs of Alexander Marshal, Andrey Bandera, Arthur and others.
In 2000, Andrey Bandera made his debut as a chansonnier with the song "By Stage" (collection "Kalina Krasnaya" -4), then in the chanson genre he performed the songs "Feat" and "Crossing", which were included in A. Marshal's album "Father Arseny" ( 2002). But these songs did not receive a wide response from the public. Only in 2004, the folk song "Ivushki", performed on the radio "Chanson", made him popular and launched his solo career. The first public performance in Moscow took place on November 1, 2006 on the stage of the "Olympic" in the concert of radio "Chanson" "Eh-eh, Razgulyai!". On February 12, 2007, the first solo album “Because I Love” was released, followed by a concert tour of the cities of Russia. On February 12, 2009, the second album was released - "It's impossible not to love." October 5, 2011 was the presentation of the third album of Andrey Bandera "Touch"
The singer's repertoire consists of folk songs in his own arrangement, songs based on S. Yesenin's poems ("", "You are my fallen maple", "", ""), modern pop songs, the genre of which he defined as a "new song" combining " stage and soulful lyrics.
A feature of the song performance is the characteristic gypsy motifs and intonations inherent in each of his songs.
The secret of the success of the songs is largely determined by the participation in the creative process of the team of "folk producers" who offer the performer their texts and music, thus, the songs "Metelitsa", "Fields of Russia" appeared in Andrei Bandera's repertoire.
Andrey Bandera has been a laureate of the Chanson of the Year music award for several years, since 2007 he has been awarded this title every year. In 2009 - with the song "You fly, my soul", performed together with the young singer Rada Rai, he won the "Song of the Year" nomination.
Andrei Bandera is a participant in the annual National Prize in the Kremlin on March 26.
Meanwhile, the city itself was empty. There was hardly anyone on the streets. The gates and shops were all locked; in some places, near the taverns, lonely cries or drunken singing were heard. No one traveled the streets, and footsteps of pedestrians were rarely heard. On Povarskaya it was completely quiet and deserted. In the huge yard of the Rostovs' house, there were scraps of hay, droppings of a convoy that had left, and not a single person was visible. In the Rostovs' house, which was left with all its goodness, two people were in a large living room. They were the janitor Ignat and the Cossack Mishka, Vasilyich's grandson, who remained in Moscow with his grandfather. Mishka opened the clavichords and played them with one finger. The janitor, akimbo and smiling joyfully, stood in front of a large mirror.
- That's clever! BUT? Uncle Ignat! said the boy, suddenly clapping both hands on the keys.
- Look you! answered Ignat, marveling at how his face was smiling more and more in the mirror.
- Shameless! Right, shameless! - the voice of Mavra Kuzminishna, who quietly entered, spoke from behind them. - Eka, fat watchman, he bares his teeth. To take you! Everything is not tidied up there, Vasilyich is knocked off his feet. Give it time!
Ignat, straightening his belt, ceasing to smile and meekly lowering his eyes, went out of the room.
“Aunty, I’ll take it easy,” said the boy.
- I'll give you a little. Shooter! shouted Mavra Kuzminishna, waving her hand at him. - Go build a samovar for your grandfather.
Mavra Kuzminishna, brushing off the dust, closed the clavichords and, with a heavy sigh, went out of the drawing room and locked the front door.
Going out into the yard, Mavra Kuzminishna thought about where she should go now: should I drink tea with Vasilyich in the wing or tidy up everything that had not yet been tidied up in the pantry?
Footsteps were heard in the quiet street. The steps stopped at the gate; the latch began to knock under the hand that tried to unlock it.
Mavra Kuzminishna went up to the gate.
- Who do you need?
- Count, Count Ilya Andreevich Rostov.
- Who are you?
- I'm an officer. I would like to see, - said a Russian pleasant and lordly voice.
Mavra Kuzminishna unlocked the gate. And a round-faced officer, about eighteen years old, with a type of face similar to the Rostovs, entered the yard.
Andrey Bandera today is a fairly well-known and beloved folk singer. His example clearly demonstrates that truly real talent does not require huge amounts of money to promote yourself as an artist.
Bandera is a stage name, in real life his name is Edward Izmestiev.
April 1971 of the year gave birth to the future star of the modern stage Eduard Anatolyevich Izmestyev. From birth to youth, he lived in the glorious city of Kizel, which is famous for its mines.
Spending his free time playing drums or in a gypsy camp, Edward fell in love with music and vocals. It started at a young age. While in this camp, the young chansonnier made friends with gypsies and listened with great pleasure to songs performed by them with a guitar.
In 1985, on the advice of his parents, Eduard entered Mining technical school of the city of Kizel. But this did not stop him from continuing to do what he loved. When Izmestiev was still a student, he organized his own group - Atlantis. Often she held her performances at discos for students. Her repertoire is different from today's performance of Edward.
After graduating from a technical school and defending his diploma, Bandera, like his fellow students, went to work at the mine. He spent several years under meters of cold earth, not forgetting about his dream and love for music, which held a special place in his heart.
In addition to the main work, in the evenings Andrei sang songs in a cafe, which brought him a good income.
The personal life of a chanson star is a secret that is closed under seven locks. The singer, despite his popularity, still hides detailed information about his relatives.
Andrey Bandera protects his loved ones from annoying journalists and completely the eyes of strangers, believing that listeners should be interested in his creative activity, and not in his family. Andrei reluctantly and very ambiguously answers all the questions of journalists regarding his family.
No matter how hard the journalists tried to get information about Andrei's wife, they did not "dig up" anything detailed. It is only known that throughout the entire journey up the star staircase, the wife supported, instilled faith in her husband and even predicted his performance in the Kremlin itself.
Years later, his wife's prediction came true and Edward conquered the Kremlin stage.
But from the lips of the artist more than once one could hear that his wife was a muse for him, which inspired many songs. And also that she is for him the ideal of female beauty.
At the beginning of his career, Bandera planned to perform in a duet with his younger brother Victor. But certain life circumstances changed these plans. Today, Victor, as planned, performs with his older brother, but already as a backing vocalist.
Even at the beginning of his promising career, Andrey Bandera thought about creating such a project as "people's production". He, like no one else, understood how difficult it is for novice talents to show and show themselves to the general public, since this one went even from the bottom.
Thanks to the Internet, hundreds of ideas for songs and melodies from unknown artists came to Edward's official website. Such an event became popular among Bandera fans and they actively took part in it.
In June 2017, the beloved chansonnier visited the Slavianski Bazaar festival, where the composition "She's like rain."
"Star Breakfast" has become one of Andrei's favorite programs, so he became her frequent guest.
Bandera lives in the capital. As for the tour schedules, they are very busy, it can reach up to 18 concerts monthly.
His concert program includes both solo performances and collaborations with novice performers. According to Bander, joint activity is always a new and useful experience for any creativity.
For about ten years, Eduard Izmestiev has been collaborating with the singer Radoi Rai and today their joint tour is still ongoing. A recent gift for the audience was the fresh duet "Carelessly". Poems for him were recorded by Chernikov, and the music was recorded by Edward himself.
As Bandera stated, experiments are always good, so the arrangement of the final recording of the song was finalized directly during the concerts. Thus, new notes of sound could be found.
Andrey Bandera counts his fans the first critics who appreciate his work. Therefore, he listens very carefully to them.
Bandera is the embodiment of several amazing qualities in one artist at once - a beautiful voice, melodic songs, amazing charisma and the absence of a "star" illness.
