Relatives and friends of ADAM frontman Mikhail Klimenko made a public appeal to fans to support his family after the artist’s funeral. The corresponding message appeared on social networks on behalf of the musician’s close circle.
The appeal on Instagram says that the best tribute to Klimenko’s memory now is financial assistance to his family, who lost their father, husband and sole breadwinner. Friends and colleagues noted that Mikhail himself performed for free at charity concerts for many years and always gave a part of himself to people, and now it’s time to reciprocate.
" Forever. They carried him off to endless applause, which a true artist deserves.. The best gratitude from us today to our beloved artist, Misha Klimenko, is to support his family, who lost their father, beloved husband and the only breadwinner in the family.
Misha always performed at charity concerts. He gave us music and warmth just like that, because he knew how to give. And now is our time to give back. The most valuable thing we can do for him now is to help his loved ones,” the message says..
They suggest treating each donation as a “ticket to Misha’s concert,” to which he would personally invite listeners. The authors of the appeal emphasize: even small amounts can become a real contribution to the future of his children - their education and a decent start in life. Farewell to Mikhail Klimenko took place on December 9 at the Kyiv Philharmonic. The hall was filled with fresh flowers - red and white roses - in accordance with the request of the musician's widow. At the entrance there were easels with famous quotes from ADAM songs about love..
These phrases became the visual and meaningful accent of the ceremony, recalling the main theme of the artist’s work.
After his wife’s moving speech, those present honored the memory of Klymenko with a multi-minute ovation, and then in unison they sang his most popular song, “Pol’no.”. This moment was the final gesture of gratitude to the musician for his creativity and humanity.
Mikhail Klimenko died on December 7, 2025 after a three-week coma caused by complications of tuberculous meningitis.
