Serge Lama answered questions from our colleagues at Parisian. The 79-year-old singer made the decision to stop, the fault of “too much pain related to the aftermath of his accident” accident that occurred 57 years ago. “I started walking eighteen months after this tragedy, but I suffered all my life. It became unbearable today”he admitted.
His 24th album, To like, in stores since this Friday, October 7 will be its last. However, he will not perform on stage all over France to play these 13 new songs in front of his audience. “I’m not saying that I won’t have a farewell evening at the Olympia, but the tours are no longer in my abilities. I’m too fragile: my left leg is getting worse and worse, and the right has been carrying my body since the accident fifty-six years ago. That would be one fight too many…”.
If the artist acknowledges that he“you have to know when to stop”it will continue”to write songs, to record some perhaps but in secret, in will“.
He wouldn’t say no to a TV special either.”on television, there are possible arrangements with the devil. If a singer asks me to write songs for him, it will be gladly“.”The comedy why not too, but for a character sitting on the edge“, he said theAFP. “I have no illusions: nothing will be remembered from me“, he adds. “We won’t write theses on Serge Lama… From up there, I’d be surprised to see that!“.
