A courageous woman who goes through hardships: Keren Meloul, well known a few years ago under the pseudonym of Rose, revealed on her blog that she had been confronted with breast cancer in recent months, after overcoming a serious addiction to alcohol and drugs. A test that she is about to tell in a book.
“When the successive confinements were lifted, it was not concerts that awaited me, but breast cancer. Music disappeared from my life for a while, and a lot of things too, leaving more and more room for illness but above all for healing.“, she wrote. A cancer that is “behind [elle]” but which left many traces in the life of the one who sang The list.
“After the removal of a breast and two months of radiotherapy, one has the feeling of being out of the woods. […]Yet I couldn’t feel liberated. Not even relieved. I was exhausted and extinguished. I was told about the backlash, I waited for it to pass. And in the meantime I wrote“. A book that began to be written because the singer had “afraid of not taking [sa maladie] seriously“.
“Writing it down made it concrete. And then I couldn’t stop talking to my MacBook Air, because my brain was buzzing like hell, and that kinda helped.“This work, for the moment untitled, will be released in October and finally, to the great surprise of the singer, will not speak”so much cancer“.
This one says that she had imagined, at the announcement of the disease, like “one of those women ‘warriors’, to whom the disease offers a new way of looking at life. One of those women who seek in themselves an unsuspected strength, discover their vocation or write books called ‘Thank you for this cancer’“. But nothing happened as she imagined, in this second fight in a row.
Indeed, she had told a few months ago in a first book, entitled Kérosène, that she had had to get out of serious addictions to alcohol and drugs, in which she had fallen after a difficult career to manage, between sudden fame and lightning career.
