Miki Ando skated to Amazing Grace for the friend who was supposed to be there but couldn't because of the loss of his loved one. After Miki's performance, the audience of Nagaoka waved Russian flags for Plushy.

Died Evgeni Plushenko's mother
Tatiana Vasilievna Plushenko has died after a long illness in St. Petersburg
Located on the show tour in Japan, to Evgeni Plushenko came the tragic news - the death of his mother, Tatiana Plushenko. She died in the 59th year of life in St. Petersburg after a long illness, incurable cancer.
All the time of her struggle with cancer, Plushenko took her to the best doctors in Russia, Israel and Germany. In recent years, Tatiana Vasilievna was observed in the international medical center of St. Petersburg "SOGAZ", where the best oncologists tried to extend her life, but, alas, medicine was powerless.
Immediately following the tragic news, Plushenko canceled all remaining shows in Japan and returned to St. Petersburg. Tatiana Vasilievna Plushenko will be buried on Monday.
Beloved mom was the mainstay of Evgeni Plushenko for many years. Precisely, Tatiana noticed abilities of the little Zhenya's, sent him in a figure skating school, and then move to St. Petersburg. In spite of the difficult financial situation of the family, Tatiana gave eveyrthing, in order to bring up the future Olympic champion.

This EX was broadcast today which I really enjoyed. Plushenko and the violinist worked very well together.

Only 59? Somehow I thought she was older than that. 
RIP. I'm not sure we would have Plushenko the champion if his mother had not pushed him to be great.
Very sweet gesture of Miki.

Terrible news... My condolences to Plushenko and his family.
Yes, I was surprised to learn that too. I didn't realize she was still relatively young.Only 59? Somehow I thought she was older than that.

Thank you so much - yes, I love Tosca Fantasy, and was hoping that we'd get to see a video of it since I heard he skated it.
@Re Miki - I do wish we'd get to see her program as well. It was a very kind and sweet thing for her to do, and Amazing Grace was a beautiful choice. But perhaps there is no recording of it. Still, it's moving to think about.
I just came from Miki's Twitter page, where she posted the video of this performance on Instrgram videos. And I'm also sad to hear about Evgeni's mother. She was only 59, which makes it more tragic.

Very sad news, my condolences to Plushy and his family. It's weird, because I was just thinking about Mama Plush the other day, I borrowed this documentary about Russia from the library and they had a part about the Transiberian Railway and I remembered how Plushy's mother and father worked on it. It's hard to imagine such a hard life. And I had no idea she was so young, only a little older than my own mother.
I'll be thinking of them on Monday for the funeral.

Aren't you an old fs fan?
This was his Olympic SP in 2006. And he skated it in Torino gala with the violinist-Edvin Marton who is my compatriots :yes:, he is Hungarian. -They are friend since 2003. Marton has a 300 y.o Stradivari. Marton composed to Plushy many musics,or arranged it, he is Emmy Awards winner composer and violin player. Marton was with Dima Bilan and Plushy when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008.They called this program White Tosca. I don't know why, probably because he is in a new white shirt. He looks great in it.

Yes, maybe she looked older, because they had a hard life when they were young. Plushy bought them the first apartment when they won the JWCH.

Some parts of Plushy's biography about the beloved mother:
.....I gave all my strength, emotions, all my energy to this program, to the audience and the judges. I cried “That’s all !” /Rus. ‘Vsjo!”/ with the last bars of the music and as if I splashed the last remains of my energy.
Later I found out that 1000 kilometers away from the Italian town of Turin, in my country house, this phrase was uttered by my mom at the same time.
There is such a tradition in my family – the members of my family never watch me on-air. Moreover when I perform at important competitions. And this were the Olympics, where I went only to win.
My mom switched off the tv and placed it on recording. All my family – my parents, my sister and my niece went to the other room.
p.6
They watched another program and talked about everything else but not my performance. They were all waiting for the telephone ring. Mom took me to her heart awfully, she understood like nobody else how important for me this Olympics was. And when they rang home and told her that I had skated the free program and all was well, she sighed : “Vsjo!” This word we should have said simultaneously.....
.......
p.9
I am very flexible. Even before the appearance of the skates in my life I enjoyed tumbling, turning over into a roll. My parents watched me and laughed :
- You are made out of plasticine.
The coach also noticed this immediately:
- You know, your boy is very flexible, - she told my mom,- Here one has to sit at side-splits, to do bridges, fish. Come to the next training, see how we stretch.
They showed us how to stretch correctly. And mom set to work. She stretched not only me, but also my sister. Lena realized quickly, that this is painful and decided that she doesn’t need the side-split.
It hurt to tears. While mom was stretching me I several times fell into hysterics, I laughed and wept at the same time.
- Mom, what are you doing. It hurts.
- Be patient for a while and it will not hurt any more,- mom talked me over and went on stretching me.
- Will you buy me a chewing gum? – I laughed hysterically. For a chewing gum I would have suffered anything.
For four days my mom did what the other parents did for a month. I sat without any problems in side and front split, lifted up my legs to my ears. It didn’t hurt any more.
Then I started stretching alone. I took two chairs and hung down in a split – like Jean-Claude Van Damme in the films, which my parents watched.
......
With the vestibularis the disaster was awful. I couldn’t stand any transport, I felt sick everywhere – in a car, in a bus, in a trolley, in a tram. It turned for me into a real trial.
- Mom, I feel bad! – I worn mom and we manage to jump at the last moment at the bus stop. I feel sick badly. We breathe fresh air for 15 minutes. We change to the tram and stand in front, where it sways least. And when at the end we arrive at the Palace of Sport I am green all over.
We always went out two hours earlier, so that we had time for the necessary changes of transport.
p.12
On the ice I used to forget completely that I felt sick. But only till we started spinning.
The coach gave us homework – to spin on a special disk. Everyday for many years I stepped on this disk and all started from the beginning.
I was spinning. My head started whirling, I felt sick and at the last moment I gave up:
- Mom, I will vomit right now, - I shouted.
Mom held me and dragged me into the bathroom. I drunk water and stepped on the disk again.
Mom took me to doctors and told them how my “home training” was taking place. The doctors calmed her down, saying that it was normal, that many children have a weak vestibularis and one just had to train it. And we trained it. After an year I had completely forgotten how it feels when you are sick.
I got used to that hateful home disk and even made it my friend. I already spinned on it in my free time alone, without mom’s reminding me about that.
......
I remember very well the very first competitions in my life. Mom sew me a costume : from the shop she bought a cheap lilac female chemise and cut out a shirt for me; and the trousers she made up from someone’s sporting pants, which she acquired from the pawnshop.
.....Alone in the Big City
- Tatyana Vasilyievna, Zhenya has to go and train in Petersburg. – with these words Michael Makoveev stunned my mother when he met her once. - Our Palace of Sport will be closed. Now we will have sbors^ /training gatherings/ and immediately when we return we shall go to Petersburg.
- I will not let him go! – My parents were explicitly against my leaving. – What are you talking about? He is only eleven. Well, they have closed the section of figure skating, all right. Let him walk on the street, he will have much more free time. He will train another kind of sport, for example football.
- You have no right ! – snapped the trainer, - He is not your property!
- How is it he is not mine? Whose is he then?
- He is a sportsman, a member of the Russian team / Rus. “sbornaya”/^.
........
At that time I could not live anymore without figure skating and I was not afraid of big changes and of going to Petersburg. Since I was six I was traveling to sbors, training camps and competitions. It is true I was back home after a month, where my mom, dad and elder sister were waiting for me. Where I was loved and cared for very much.
p.19
I went to my parents and said:
- Mom, Dad, do what you want, I will still go. I cannot live without sport and figure skating!
And then my parents let me go. But first they saw me off to the sbors and they hoped much that I would return to Volgograd after a month. They thought for some reason that I would not like Petersburg and I would hurry back home.
Recently we have remembered my departure.
- Zhenya, I go back in my mind very often to this time – confessed mom, - My granddaughter Dasha is now eleven and we don’t let her go anywhere. We see her off to the High school, then from the High school we take her with a car and bring her back home. We don’t even let her go and buy bread alone. And you went alone at her age to the strange enormous town. What was I for a mother to let my kid go?

No, as my name implies, I'm a 'newbie' compared to many people.
I only watched Plushenko briefly in his heyday and I cheered for Elvis Stojko at the Nagano Olympics (but I was just a kid then). During the 2000's I didn't watch much figure skating at all. So this was the first time for me to see this program.
I began to watch figure skating again at around 2011-2012.
Thank you for the information, I've learned so much from all the posters here.
I hope that Plushenko can take some time to be with his family and deal with his loss. My condolences to him.
