Laima Vaikule has been fighting breast cancer for many years. Recently, the singer rarely appears in public. Many noticed that the 69-year-old artist does not look her age. But lately the Baltic star has changed a lot. The viewers of the YouTube channel “Soryan, this is a joke” were convinced of this, where a new video with Laima was released. The presenter called her through video call showing Vaikule’s face.

The artist’s appearance deeply impressed users. Networks. In the video, Laima appears without makeup, but even that would not have hidden the deep wrinkles and unkempt appearance of the once elegant star.

In the comments, viewers comment on what happened to the artist. Some are sure that he has changed due to a serious illness. Others say that the singer got too carried away with alcohol.

“Is he drinking or something? What’s wrong with your face? With your money you can rejuvenate yourself without plastic surgery. Or the sores bother you”, “I looked at Vaikule’s face and it is no longer the face of a living person”, “I know, she had surgery many years ago in the United States. But she is in remission. Perhaps beauty injections are contraindicated because there was cancer. But somehow I made a dramatic mistake,” netizens write.

TV presenter Oscar Kuchera previously said that the artist has a weakness for alcohol.

“The lime, of course, needs to stop swelling,” he once wrote on his Telegram channel.

Recently, Vaikule has become increasingly outraged among Russians: even the most devoted fans have turned away from her. The singer claimed that in previous years she fed the entire Soviet Union with her fees. This statement, which clearly does not correspond to reality, simply made many laugh and made them doubt the suitability of the artist.

“I will never perform in Russia. Maybe if there are apologies and repentance, if everything changes,” she said.
