This Friday, August 26 is marked by the highly anticipated musical return of Mylène Farmer with her single forevers, title composed by Yoann Lemoine alias Woodkid. The opportunity to return to the life of the so discreet artist, freshly single, as mysterious as adored by a very large public. In particular this crazy anecdote, the time when the singer and interpreter of Disenchanted was slapped by a nun. A somewhat surprising story that we discovered during an interview given by Mylène Farmer to Stubbornin February 2021. A rare occasion where the artist confided.
At 60, the singer had then delivered on her childhood, quite vague for her according to her words. But an unfortunate event nevertheless marked her. “I have the memory of a very short scene: the slap of a nun because I spilled my glass of orange juice on the floor“, she said. Mylène Farmer did not seem traumatized by the event, however, since she had ended up “burst out laughing“with our colleagues, remembering this famous slap.
The Mylène Farmer Mystery
In this interview, the star also evoked the mystery that surrounds her and of which she is fully aware. “With me, the secret is not a question of shyness or protection, I do not cultivate itshe confided. As far back as I can remember, I have always considered secrecy to be my sanctuary. I never imagined that, in today’s ultra-connected world, secrecy would become one of the last areas of freedom. It has become a necessity, a vital space.”
A sentimental disappointment after 20 years of love
This great musical return of the singer comes shortly after a sentimental disappointment, known a few months ago… after two decades of love. In May 2022, it’s the magazine Gala which revealed that Mylène Farmer had separated at the very beginning of the year from her longtime companion Benoît Di Sabatino, producer and director of 56 years.
