Rocker weds Tymoshenko

A BRITISH heavy metal singer married the daughter of Ukraine’s former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko yesterday.

Sean Carr, 36, lead singer of the Death Valley Screamers, and Evhenya Tymoshenko, 25, emerged from the walled Vydubitskiy Monastery to a salute of ringing bells and Scottish bagpipes.

The well-wishers - mainly elderly Ukrainian women - shouted “happiness” in Ukrainian and English. The couple posed briefly for dozens of photographers, as they sipped champagne.

Carr then smashed his glass down on the pavement, prompting applause from his new mother-in-law, Yulia Tymoshenko, who abandoned her traditional hair braid style and wore her long blonde hair loose.
