In January 2023, the news broke: the big star of starmania was rushed to hospital. And the unforgettable interpreter of the waitress Marie-Jeanne, Against each other or The world is stone, a really narrow escape! While Fabienne Thibeault was filming in the medieval city of Besse, to play the role of an Auvergne peasant in the film Wash, she began to complain of throbbing chest pain in her neck and arm, as well as great fatigue… Following several alerts, the Quebecer then decided to join the CHU de Clermont-Ferrand, accompanied by her husband Christian. The rest, it is on her Facebook that she entrusts it to her community: “We walked back to the emergency room, calm, she says, I pointed out my discomfort and in five minutes I was in a hurry: electrocardiogram and all the rest…” The medical teams then discovered that his arteries “in the root of the heart”are affected.

“Be attentive to the slightest symptom”
And if Fabienne Thibeault assures not to keep any “no sequelae”, just follow “cardiac rehabilitation in the center”, she is well aware of having come very close to death. “I would have collapsed any day, on the street, at the slightest effort, I would be dead.”, she explains on her account.
It is this misadventure with a happy ending that the singer from North America came to tell Jordan de Luxe on her C8 show which will be broadcast from Monday, May 22. A lesson in life, courage but also vigilance for viewers who could avoid, like her, coming close to death. “Be attentive to the slightest symptom”, she warns. And if the artist who will celebrate her 71st birthday on June 17 ensures that she wears like a charm and does not keep any consequences of her heavy intervention, she is not however free of stigmata… And in front of the slicked-back host, she does not hesitate to reveal her cleavage deeply marked by a long vertical scar… Symbol of a rebirth and a brand new heart for the one who loves our country so much that she has become, since 2008, a French citizen apart whole.
