This Friday, February 10, the interpreter of “I am sick” will receive a Victoire de la musique d’honneur, for his entire career. However, Serge Lama refused to be physically present: “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”, he explains. “Even if it was already trying, my last tour, in 2017, was great, I defended my songs well. Today, I would have to sing sitting down. This is not what the public wants to see”, adds the singer.
“Physically, I am very damaged. I have great difficulty walking. You know, it’s difficult. I have been living on one leg for almost sixty years. The other does not obey me and it is this one that carries everything. Now she is fed up. The pain increases with age. It’s quite normal, why should I escape this infernal law of passing time?” concludes Serge Lama.
