Eurovision 2016
It was reported in the Belarusian media that Ivanov intended to perform his entry naked with two wolves on stage. His producer tried to get permission to get wolves on stage, considering the "no live animals" policy of the competition.[3][4] Organizers didn't allow either request, but the presentation included animated scenes of wolves appearing on screen. Ivanov performed his song "Help You Fly" on 12 May 2016 in Eurovision's second semi-final, but failed to qualify to the 14 May 2016 final.
Personal life
His great-grandmother was Moldovan.[5]
