Photos of Alsou and her's bodyguard Darren has appeared in Friday "Komsomol Truth" in the material "who protects Russian stars?":

Most noticeable is Alsou guard. High black-skinned fellow, who persistently follows after the singer, at first many perceived as Alsou boyfriend. He isn't.
Darren Gilkrast the native of Jamaica, the professional bodyguard. Earlier he covered a powerful torso of famous football player Pele, musicans of group The Backstreet Boys and recently stayed in Russia with Mariah Carey. It fell completely officially to Alsou, the producer of singer hired him through the known British guarding agency.
When to Alsou a year ago he arrived in to us into the editorial staff to "straight line", we have questioned Darren. At that time he told, that Alsou "is one of the most pleasant clients" she's merry, direct and obedient. When we spoke, it was necessary to know where she can go and where to stop, she carries out all our requirements implicitly.
