Marichkov died two days ago after a terrible accident on stage before a concert with the “Foundation” in the town of Selanovtsi.
“I don’t know why he had run from one end of the stage, where he and Donny were talking, I was sitting at the piano – said Valdi Totev, the pianist of “Crickets”, who worked with Marichkov for 48 years. – I turned around and saw the last two or three steps before he fell off the platform and the platform is about a meter away height.
The terrible situation was also explained by the guitarist in the group “Foundation” Ivan Lechev:
“Long story short, Cyril fell right off the stage. We all think he really got something, because the way he fell was without any act of self-preservation. basically, a person who is starting to fall from somewhere stretches his arms to save him, he does something. And he fell flat on his face.”
The 112 call was made around 6:45 pm Although the emergency team from Oryahovo arrived in 7 minutes, the doctors could not save Marichkov’s life and he died in the ambulance. On October 30, the legendary “cricket” was supposed to celebrate his 80th birthday with a concert at the NDK.
“I didn’t sleep all night thinking about what we could have done. We were all around, but none of us were close enough to be able to somehow hold, He literally fell on his face from the height of five feet from the platform with all his height.
