From Maurane to Vitaa via Johnny Hallyday, Lara Fabian
has had the chance to collaborate with many singing stars. But if there is one artist who has had an impact on her during her brilliant career in the music industry, it is Michael Jackson. Guest of Bruce Toussaint on the set of Good morning ! the morning of TF1 this Thursday January 25, 2024, the interpreter of I love you returned to her meeting with the king of pop. A particularly moving moment for Lou’s mother.
“I met Michael Jackson on 42nd Street, the big Christmas show produced by Clive Davis and Liza Minnelli”, she revealed. “There were a lot of people there that night, including Whitney Houston and Beyoncé.” Together, all the artists had “formed a guard of honor and sang along to one of his songs.”

“One of the most moving moments of my life”
At the time, it was the artist who died on June 25, 2009 of a cardiac arrest who “supervised the rehearsals”, remembered Lara Fabian. For the occasion, the singer decided to perform one of her biggest hits: Adagio.“JI had the honor of singing Adagio in front of him. Listening to Adagio, he came on stage, took me in his arms“. A moment rich in emotions for the one who had always dreamed of meeting her idol.

“I rarely tell this story because there is a dimension of modesty behind it. From a simple photo in your yearbook, you managed to find yourself on a stage in the United States with such a special moment. That has been one of the most moving moments of my life.” Touching confidences.
