Gubin's second and third album Ave Maria and Prince and Princess (Russian: Принц и принцесса) respectively were the start of his career.
According to the singer, in the mid-2000s, he was diagnosed with left-sided trigeminal neuralgia of the face, a disease of the nervous system that causes constant facial pain.
[6][7] Psychiatrist Vasily Shurov publicly expressed a defamatory, abusive and misleading opinion that Gubin was mentally ill because his face hurts, he cannot feel half of his body, and his left hand does not work well.
[8] A legal team is preparing to argue on behalf of Gubin that Shurov's statements are abusive, harassing, misleading, constitute a defamation, medical malpractice and a potential criminal conspiracy for mass, paid bullying through various media sources.
Shurov's actions also qualify as intentional infliction of severe mental and emotional distress with a purpose to destroy Andrey's reputation, instill thoughts of suicide due to a mass bullying and continuous, artificial, electronic trolling and spamming by an extensive team of extremely abusive commenters and bots on media sites.
