The singer’s vocal cords were damaged by “ray sessions” during cancer treatment. While he thought he would be able to return to the stage next year, thanks to his victory against illness, Miossec is forced to cancel his 2024 tour.
Singer Miossec must give up his 2024 tour. His vocal cords have been “damaged” by “the ray sessions” of cancer treatment, announces the singer on his networks. “It is with great sadness, and as much bitterness, that I must give up the 2024 tour. If the vocal cords are ‘cured’they remain damaged by radiation sessions“, we can read under a photo of a cloudy sky.
On September 1, under a photo of a clear sky, Miossec, the 58-year-old artist rejoiced: “Vocal cord cancer cured. Resumption of the tour throughout the country at the beginning of 24, here we go again.” This Thursday, October 19, the musician continues the weather metaphor: “Everything is blue when the black goes away, but for now, the black is there. I tell you, when will one day come back, yes, the clearing“.”It’s not easy to give up, after 30 years of touring, what is, I realize, a reason for being“, he adds again.
Miossec opened a new path for French song in 1995 with Drink, first album with lyrics scratched to the bone. “I have the impression that something did not exist which, today, is present almost everywhere“, established Bertrand Dicale, specialist in French song, in the booklet of the reissue of Drink for its 25th birthday in 2020.
Miossec would later become one of the most sought-after feathers. He who resumed in his own way – dilapidated – The girl I think of by Johnny Hallyday, in Drinkwill also end up writing, among others, for the French favorite rocker.
Irony of history, while Miossec goes a long time “conjugate the verb to drink in all tenses (laughs)“, as was fitting, he later learned that he was suffering from an orphan illness and that alcohol could become “disabling”. Miossec will stop around 2010. And thus put an end to concerts sabotaged on a whim or one too many. After around ten albums, where he sang at regular intervals about his hometown (Brestin the album 1964the year he turned 40 in 2004), he had reconnected with the recipes of Drink with the aptly named Simplify in 2023.
