The Torpedo hockey club gifted Kirkorov a jersey with rhinestones and the inscription King.

      On April 29, 2026, at 10:01 AM, Culture and Leisure. On April 28, a concert (12+) by Philip Kirkorov took place in Nizhny Novgorod. The venue for the performance was the home arena of the Torpedo hockey club — the KRK Nagorny. The show was initially planned for March 24, but it was postponed due to the playoff matches of the Gagarin Cup. During the concert, Nizhny Novgorod team forwards Sergey Goncharuk and Dmitry Shevchenko joined the artist on stage. The hockey players presented the singer with the club's signature jersey. The audience supported the hockey players with loud chanting of "Torpedo." The atmosphere resembled a match rather than a musical show. The gift was special. Instead of a surname on the back, the jersey features the inscription "King," and the number, letters, deer on the chest, and Khokhloma on the sleeves are adorned with rhinestones. The players also congratulated the artist on his upcoming birthday.

      Kirkorov thanked the athletes and immediately tried on the jersey. In his new outfit, he addressed the team from the stage. "I want to wish you victories in return. You are adored and loved here. You are the pride of your city. Thank you for this gift," said the performer. It is worth noting that Kirkorov already has a small collection of hockey jerseys. Clubs such as Salavat Yulaev, Ak Bars, and Siberia have gifted him their merchandise. It was previously reported that Sergey Goncharuk extended his contract with Torpedo for another two years.
