We can wake up with perfect vision, have 12/10 in each eye, and yet suddenly lose it, little by little… Hélène Ségara
unfortunately will not say the opposite. Indeed, the one who had “a little trouble” to collaborate with Julie Zenatti at the start of the musical Notre Dame de Parissuffers from irreversible macular degeneration since 2013.
The artist, now aged 52, has undergone several operations and is undergoing heavy treatment which forced her, last year, to “limit your tour” because of a “long and tiring treatment”as she explained on the microphone of RTL. Despite this complicated situation, Hélène Ségara has always shown immense courage since she became ill and wants to move forward. Indeed, she has always refused to draw a line under her role as a juror in the show M6 France has an unbelievable talent.

Hélène Ségara sick but courageous
“I responded as elegantly as possible, I hate feeling sorry for myself. Let’s move on! Participating in this show is such a moment of happiness that it boosted me. Even though I’m tired , I manage to go on stage because the audience gives me this joy”she particularly rejoiced in the columns of TV 2 Weeks. Although she is still ill today, her treatment allows her to live almost “normally”. In the end, it was the first two years that were the most terrible.
In any case, this is what the one who has a special bond with Céline Dion confided during her visit to Steven Bellery on the show Indulge on RTL. At the microphone of our colleagues, Hélène Ségara found : “I spent two terrible years, trying to smile, working, but like a dilettante because I was quite exhausted, and then one morning I said to myself that I had to fight even harder, to continue to do what I was doing.” “I tried a new treatment which stabilized me, and I started raising funds for an eye association which supports diseases like mine”she added subsequently, before ensuring that the illness from which she suffers “can affect anyone”. “I was in perfect health, I had 12/10 in each eye before waking up almost blind”she takes as an example.
The artist assures us, the view is “a sense that we cannot do without”. “I spent months where I could no longer watch TV, my phone, peel an apple. I can tell you that it changes a life”concluded the interpreter of Her you love her.
