March 1, 2003 -- Yulia and Lena, known to all of us as Tatu, were attacked during a liver performance on stage by what bodyguards described as an obsessed fan.
It was a narrow escape for Tatu when -- as they typically do -- they invited fans onto the stage during their show.
But bodyguards became suspicious of one man who joined the throng of fans: He kept his hands in his pockets the whole time. He then apparently pulled out the knife, and the guards pulled him from the stage.
Lena and Yulia have said they will continue to play live concerts despite the threats and attacks.
Both young women have said that bottles have been thrown at them while on stage, and that once a knife was hurled on stage during a session.
"There have been incidents," Yulia said. "But there is no point worrying that you are going to be killed when you go on stage."
