According to the statements, the mother of Nicolas and Hélène (from a previous marriage) made this decision for health reasons. “When you reach a certain age, you have to remain dignified. I don’t want to fall on stage.
During Covid-19, I lost strength. I was in the emergency room for a month and when I got home, I fell,” explained the singer, who is the grandmother of two grandchildren. “I don’t want people to be sad, but that’s the truth. Since then, I’ve been careful.” Nevertheless, the singer would like to meet her fans one last time before the end of her career to say goodbye in all formalities. “I want to do three or four farewell concerts, including one last big concert in France,” she added.
