A quick update from us…
Many of you will know Roman as the voice, the charm, and the mischief behind Crooners.
We wanted to share a brief update. Roman has recently been diagnosed with throat cancer and is now undergoing further tests as his treatment plan is put in place. The positive news is that things are moving quickly, and he is in good spirits.
For now, he’ll be stepping away from performing to focus fully on treatment and recovery. We’re very much looking forward to having him back on stage where he belongs.
As a self-employed performer, Roman makes his living through singing, from Crooners, weddings, events, and other live work. This period away from performing will therefore have a direct and immediate impact on his income.
For those who wanted to support him during this time, we wanted to open up two simple ways:
🎨 Pet Portrait Commissions
While he’s away from the stage, Roman will be taking on a small number of hand-drawn pet portrait commissions.
His work is highly detailed and usually privately commissioned, so this is a chance to support him directly while he focuses on recovery.
If you’d like to enquire, please message via his art page.

If you’d like to support him during this time, we’ve set up a link below.
There is absolutely no expectation, your messages and support already mean a great deal.
And to our wonderful C.O.C Handlers… we might just need you now more than ever.
Thank you, as always, for being I such an incredible community around this show.
