A news that will delight and reassure all his fans. For several years now, Serge Lama has been more and more discreet on TV sets. And the reason is simple. The artist of 80 advances in age and weakens more and more. Feeling “abyss”the interpreter of “I’m sick” does not wish to give a negative image to its public, and especially of a weakened man. It is also for this reason that he did not go to the Victoires de la Musique on February 10, 2023.
Asked by The Sunday newspaper, on February 5, 2023, the singer confided in fact that he would not go to the stage of the place of ceremony. And, this, even if he was warned before that we were going to give him his Victory of honor. “It was my only condition to accept this award. I don’t want to show myself today. I prefer to stay on what I was. Even if it was already trying, my last tour, in 2017, was great, I defended my songs well”he confided to our colleagues.

Serge Lama soon at Claire Chazal
What saddens him? Sitting singing. “Today, I would have to sing sitting down. It’s not what the public wants to see…Physically, I’m very damaged. I have a lot of trouble walking. You know, it’s difficult. It makes soon sixty years that I live on one leg. The other does not obey me and it is this one which carries everything. Now, she is fed up”, he later admitted. On one leg, with a cane, or in great shape, Serge Lama is still preparing to return to the “stage” and make an appearance on a TV set.
Indeed, this Friday, March 31, Claire Chazal will host a special issue of “Great Chessboard” on France 3. A number shot in an atypical place: the Palace of Versailles. “The ideal setting to welcome and enhance the performances of this number”as François Goetghebeur, director of the episode, told France TV. In a teaser broadcast on France 3, Claire Chazal warned viewers. Julien Clerc, Nicola Sirkis, or Benjamin Biolay have responded, and a “very nice tribute will be paid to Serge Lama”. An evening that promises to be unforgettable.
