On June 1, 2018, the lead singer of the group Nina Kirso suffered a severe stroke. For some time "Freestyle" worked as a purely male cast, several charity concerts were held with the participation of Ukrainian pop stars; all fees from these concerts were transferred to Nina's treatment. According to the doctors' conclusion, Nina Kirso could no longer return to active life, and since February 2019, a new soloist Nata Nedina has been in the Freestyle group. On April 30, 2020, Nina Kirso died.[2]
