Eduard Khil was born on 4 September 1934 in Smolensk. In 1955, he began his musical training at the Leningrad Conservatory performing various lead operatic roles, including Figaro in The Marriage of Figaro. Following graduation in 1960, he fell in love with pop music and went on to achieve great success as one of Russians most successful pop singers, touring many countries during his career.

Amongst his many achievements he won notable prizes including the "All Russian Competition for Performers" in 1962 and performed at the "Festival of Soviet Songs" in 1965. Khil also won the Meritorious Artist of the RSFSR in 1968 and The Order of the Red Banner of Labour in 1971. Finally in 1974 he was awarded Russia's most prestigious artist award, the People's Artist of Russia, and this lead to public calling him the 'Symbol of Leningrad'.

In 2010 at the age of 75 years, he performed at the St. Petersburg's Victory Day Parade to great acclaim. Eduard Khril will be missed, with greatest sympathy.
