In an interview given to Parisian in December 2023, Mika lifted the veil on the friendships he had made professionally, and which were the most important to him. He had thus mentioned the name of Marc-Olivier Fogielthe current boss of BFMTV, with whom he had forged an indestructible friendship over the years: “I have a lot of them. Artists, designers, writers, media people, like Marc-Olivier Fogiel, with whom I have a strong friendship. We tell each other everything, all the time, cash, that allows us to ‘avoid comfort and move forward’ had praised the British-American singer, who is also a hit in Lebanon, Italy and obviously in France, where he returned for a new season at
The Voice
as a coach, after several years of absence.
On X this Sunday March 3, 2024, Marc-Olivier Fogiel proved his loyalty to Mika. The journalist, who has experienced some shocks at BFMTV since the departures of several emblematic figures of the channel such as Bruce Toussaint, Pascale de la Tour du Pin, Jean-Baptiste Boursier and Aurélie Casse, was keen to applaud the latest tour carried out by his friend around the world, and in which he was able to participate a few days ago: “To be amazed by someone you know so well is only possible with him. With this new tour, Mika is breathtaking! Unparalleled creativity. A powerful show that gives crazy energy ! Well done my friend!” applauded the one who is also very friendly in the city with the first lady Brigitte Macron, the journalist Claire Chazal and the host, producer and columnist Matthieu Delormeau, who recently teased a possible return to the media at the start of the next school year.
For more than three months, Mika has been playing dates in France with his new tour, dedicated to the release of his new 100% French album. The singer chose to perform in 16 French cities, and will perform for example next Saturday March 9 at the Zénith de Nancy, Sunday March 10 at the Zénith de Strasbourg, Tuesday March 12 at the Zénith de Reims and Friday March 15 at the Zénith de Dijon. He will close his whirlwind tour with a final date at the Accor Arena in Paris, on March 25, perhaps in the company of his dear and tender friend Marc-Olivier Fogiel!
