Tatu show turns into an orgy (The Russian Journal)

Time of publication: 29.05.2002
A recent concert by girl duet Tatu at the Park Avenue Disco nightclub escalated into a very real orgy, the weekly Express-Gazeta reported. The concert started late, temperatures were high inside the overcrowded club and the crowd got overheated. In an effort to save the party, Tatu's Lena Katina, 17, and Yulya Volkova, 17, made an original decision: They told the audience to strip.

It didn't take the excited clubbers long to get the message. First five girls climbed onto the stage, stripped and started kissing and touching one another, and then they were joined by five young men. And then the lights suddenly went out...

The situation then spiraled out of control: The tiny stage was jammed with half-dressed people kissing, groping and trying to have sex. As for Tatu, the girls, appalled by the scene they had caused, hid themselves in a far corner of the stage and watched the bacchanalia with horror.

It was only after security intervened that order was restored in the club. According to the weekly Komsomolskaya Pravda, which also covered the event, after the stage was cleared of naked flesh, Tatu stepped up and made an official announcement to the effect that they were temporarily suspending performing in nightclubs.

"Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that something like this will not happen again," the girls said. The weekly Mir Novostei, for its part, reported that the parents of some of those in the club that night plan to sue Tatu and producer Ivan Shapovalov and seek a sizable monetary compensation for the "moral damage" inflicted on their children.
