Stas Piekha, the well-known Russian singer, recently offered heartwarming updates on the health and lifestyle of his legendary grandmother, Edite Piekha, who has been enjoying peaceful moments at her home outside St. Petersburg. At 87, Edite, famed for her contributions to Soviet music, has stepped back from the limelight to savor the tranquility of home life.
According to Stas, she is doing remarkably well. "Анализы у бабушки лучше моих. Она недавно сдавала: я всё контролирую. Я же по анализам спец — хорошо разбираюсь в них," he stated, pleased to share the good news about her health. Edite has been reportedly living a quieter life, far removed from the pressures of public performances and constant travel.
While many artists crave public attention, Stas noted his grandmother has no inclination to return to the stage. Instead, she relishes her current lifestyle, spending her days watching television, reading books, and tending to her garden during warmer months. "Она делает то, что хочет сама. Её очень радует общение с нами," Stas shared, highlighting the importance of family bonds.
The family maintains close contact with Edite, often visiting her. Stas mentioned, "Она сама так захотела: ей 87 лет. Конечно, её любят и помнят. Да и как её забудешь?" This highlights not only Edite's significant impact on Russian culture but also her family's support as they rally around her during these quieter years.
Stas revealed the challenges they face when showering Edite with gifts during holidays like the upcoming New Year. "Мы уже так устали с подарками: ей совершенно непонятно, что дарить. Она ни в чем не нуждается," Stas admitted, indicating how his grandmother’s needs have dramatically shifted over the years. With all her necessities provided for, he’s at a loss as to what to present her this year.
The family’s concern remains unwavering; they consistently check on Edite's well-being, ensuring she is provided with everything from comfortable furniture to skincare essentials. "Покупаю кресла всевозможные, беседки в сад, крема… Поэтому на Новый год даже не знаю. Но обязательно придумаем!" he concluded, demonstrating their love and dedication.
Throughout his updates, Stas seemed humbled by the fondness and cherished memories Edite still holds with her family. It's evident their interactions bring her joy, as she sometimes prefers solitude and can be reticent at times. Yet, Stas paints a picture of happiness when she finally opens up, relaying how she often expresses gratitude, stating, "Так хорошо, что вы у меня есть!"
With family always by her side, it's clear Edite Piekha is not only surrounded by love but also cherishes this new chapter of her life, one far removed from the relentless pace of celebrity life. Lovers of her music can take solace knowing she remains vibrant, living her life on her own terms, and enjoys fond moments with her family. Edite, the icon of Soviet-era music, may not be gracing the stage anymore, but her legacy and the love from her family create beautiful melodies of their own.
