Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no further specific references, we can comment on the following.
This is my report.
It is always interesting to know more details about the life of famous people. In this case, this female singer that gave a lecture about the life of a musician was interesting, although she talked in general terms. I think it would have been more interesting if she could have talked about the details of the music business for new musicians or the way she had to overcome adversities to become a popular artist.
I say this because there are many texts and references on the internet about the music business. However, there is such little information about the specifics, the details. And popular artists like her could be able to share good information with students about the details of the music business.
My suggestion is that we could invite these famous people but we should ask them to center their speech on specific issues so the talk could be useful. If they talk about general issues or about their lives, many books and pages already include their bios and general information.
We, as students, need more focused topics, that only listen to general information or the artist's public life that is already known.
