However, he was left with a certain aftertaste of the competition. “vknowing in advance that we are not even nominated, I would have found other priorities. As I received two tickets, namely for an escort, I took my lady with me, and I think she enjoyed herself.’ added the controversial singer, who married the woman Jana more than four years ago exactly on Adolf Hitler’s birthday. He insists the date is purely coincidental…
