He passed away so early... He had a very rare and incurable disease lungs. He knew that he would die soon. The doctors did not allow him to sing... But he sang and how...
It is impossible to listen to this song of his without tears... He should live and live more. He wanted to fly like a bird - to become free...
Words are unnecessary... Feel...
Lara Fabian loved him

And then, standing, the whole hall began to sing... the whole hall in Nimes will sing this song to her, replacing the words in it, “Je t”aime” (I love you) for the first time will turn into “On t”aime” (We love you).. Then her producer Rick Alisson, who accompanies him on the piano, will come up and say: “See... and you said that you have nothing to live for... Live for them, for the people.
So many feelings...
Her beloved was 13 years younger than her. But he died of a rare lung disease
So much suffering and pain can be felt in her performance...
Watch this concert!!! As the whole auditorium sang...

Stunning performance by Lara Fabian and Gregory Lemorchal -

Interview with Lara Fabian:
“I learned to live more calmly. Now I am able to be alone for many days without pain, sadness, or longing. Of course I miss those I love, but before I couldn't be alone with myself for a long time. Now I like to be alone without this feeling that the earth has opened up in front of me,” says the singer.
She returned from afar, beautiful Lara. There was, of course, this disease that affected vital organs, which she overcame and which she absolutely does not want to talk about anymore - this is in the past. She is more talkative when it comes to healing deep heartache. A pain that made her write words like: “everything is meaningless, when there is nothing left to fear, all the reasons to stay are theirs.” This was in 2001 on the Nue album. The song is called "Because you are leaving" ("Parce que tu pars").
“Everyone thought I wrote it for someone else. But it was about me…” she says.
Lara removes the veil from the secret, not fully realizing who today inspired her trust so that she could do this.
“We are not forgiven for feeling like this... It’s as if it’s forbidden for someone who has what I have to have problems... I’ve always avoided the role of a “pining star”, but perhaps me talking about this will help others who also go through this...”, she thinks quietly.
There were moments in Lara's career that brought her contempt and hatred. Within a few years, Quebec radio stations stopped playing her songs, which she couldn't explain. But there was an even worse situation in France, where at one time she experienced constant insults from the press.
“Sometimes people asked me what I did... Nothing! The situation kept getting worse, and I often asked myself why they didn’t like me. Now I am glad that I am loved. Others don’t, and that’s their right, it’s not scary at all.”
At 37 years old, the singer was definitely left alone (12 million records sold, that’s still reassuring...) but in her youth she did not maintain this distance in relation to life. She came to France at 27, after 10 years in Quebec, where the press is generally more tolerant of artists. When the wave of hatred towards her gained height, Lara had a desire to end it.
“I wanted to leave. Not just from show business. Leave this life. It was a combination of things and this is in the past, but the press was particularly brutal. They completely destroy a person, there is no compassion…”, she recalls with excitement.
Today Lara enjoys life and develops her plans. She has found love, her life partner is the French director Gerard Pullicino and in the spring she will move with him to Montreal. In September she will appear on the stage in Paris, she is also considering several film scripts, and, of course, dreams of the day when she becomes a mother. What brought her back to life when everything was seen in black? Her best friend, Natalie.
“I told myself that there is someone who really loves me. There was one clear moment that I remembered like a photograph. It was very revealing. One person, three phrases... I believe that one phrase, one word can really bring someone back to life...” she states with great gratitude in her eyes.
Having overcome depression, then illness, Lara completely changed her value system. Now every morning she asks herself why she does something. And if he doesn’t find the right answer, he stops.
“You notice that for a long time life has passed you by. Reality returns there, and priorities change. I'm sorry, but I will never again spend 17 months without visiting home. 17 days at most!”
She says this with great conviction and it becomes clear that her alienation has caused her to lose her bearings. Now she has found them again and it is no coincidence that she chose white And " new look" to illustrate his latest album.
“This is my search for light. When I was little, I was like that. I took black sheets of paper to draw white stars... There is a lot of hope in this vision of life and a way of refusing to be constantly tested.”
Lara Fabian is one of the most famous and bright stars of our planet. Millions admire her, the whole world bows before her feet. This woman has tireless talent and a beautiful voice.
