Promoting his new album Radio Londonthe singer Axel Bauer was the guest of Laurent Delahousse on France 2 in the show 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. The interpreter of the cult title night freighter was asked about the cancer he beat five years ago.
Also the presenter quickly came to the question of his illness, evoking one of the pieces of the album, dedicated to this painful event. “In this album, very personal, there are several titles, there are It’s smart which echoes the work of caregivers and then echoes your healing. Five years ago you were diagnosed with cancer. It is important to speak, to evoke, not to hide it under the rug anymore? then launched Lauret Delahousse. “Yes what is important for me is above all to talk about the moment when your life changes. You have this feeling of being immortal, everything is fine and all of a sudden you are forced into maximum humility because all of a sudden you are told some deadly news and your life changes from that moment on“, replied Axel Bauer. A lesson in humility for the artist who also evokes the role of caregivers and medical personnel. “It puts things back in place and at the same time, I wouldn’t be here to talk about it if I hadn’t had the caregivers and the screening” he said, paying tribute to those who saved him.
The one who had supported his son Jim in his adventure in The Voice, had also recently confided in his song and his illness in Taratata : “It’s something quite tragic, it’s not a funny song, but it’s this moment when we learn very, very bad news. The first thing you say to yourself when you hear this kind of news is that you review your life, you say to yourself: ‘Ah i did that, i messed up there, it’s smart”
A distressing episode that ended very well for Axel Bauer.
