Alla Pugacheva, along with her husband Maxim Galkin, visited the "Laima Rendezvous" festival in Jurmala.
The Prima Donna was with a cane and explained why she appeared with it.
"I was immobile for four months. I fell, broke my leg, my hip joint. And, frankly, I didn't think I would get up at all. I had panic attacks, I felt awful," the singer shared.
Doctors warned her that recovery could take up to six months. Pugacheva is still overcoming the pain.
She also denied rumors that she had undergone heart surgery.
The singer takes the cane only for confidence when there are many people around. "For two days I walked like this [leaning], looking down all the time. And everyone said: 'My God, she can barely walk.'"
