<P> In January 2012, Vitas and his family were interviewed on the talk show "Let Them Talk", also in 2007 being interviewed by Russian interviewer TV show Everybody Is At Home where he discussed his personal history as well as his development as an artist . In March of that year, a distraught Vitas appeared on the talk show again to confront the allegations of a man who claimed that he was Vitas' biological father . After much backlash from Vitas' friends and family, and the man's admission of lying, the DNA results proved he was not Vitas' father even though Vitas claimed it . As a show of forgiveness to the man's family, Vitas sang and danced with the man's mother . </P> <P> Vitas was arrested on 10 May 2013 for hitting a cyclist with his car . Russian TV channels Russia - 1 and Channel One Russia reported widely on the accident . These and other TV channels displayed Vitas' driving license with his personal data, which had been presented to journalists by a police officer . The incident took place just northeast of Moscow, near the VVC Exhibition Centre . The cyclist was not hurt and proceeded to film the situation that took place with the police afterward . The video depicts an unshaven and swaying Vitas being held by authorities; concerts planned in China that year were canceled . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> Recording </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001, 2002, 2003 </Td> <Td> Best selling single Russian Record Prize </Td> <Td> "Opera #2" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001 </Td> <Td> Komsomolskaya Pravda and Internet Survey "Forum 2001" Musical Discovery of the Year </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2000, 2001, 2002 </Td> <Td> Three - time - laureate of the festivals "The Song of the Year" (2000, 2001, 2002) </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001, 2002 </Td> <Td> Two - time - laureate of the People Prize "Golden Gramophone" </Td> <Td> "Opera #2", "Smile!" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001, 2002, 2003 </Td> <Td> Three - time - laureate of the Musical Prize "PODIUM" for the most stylish achievements in pop music </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001, 2002, 2003 </Td> <Td> Russian "People's HIT" Prize </Td> <Td> "Opera #2", "Smile!", "The Star" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001, 2003 </Td> <Td> Radio station "HIT FM" Prize "100 Per Cent HIT" </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 </Td> <Td> National Musical Prize "Ovation" Soloist of the Year </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Russian Internet portal AFISHA.COM </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2007 </Td> <Td> Order of Service to the Arts </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2007 </Td> <Td> Best Album--NewsMusic Poll </Td> <Td> "Crane's Crying" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2011 </Td> <Td> International Song Writers Contest Winner, 3rd place Music Video Category for "Opera #2".
