Sunday, Mika was the guest of the portrait of the week of Seven to eight. The opportunity for the artist to promote May your head always bloom, his sixth album, but also and above all to address the disappearance of his mother, which is the source of this new opus.

Indeed, he owes the title of this album to his mother, who gave him these words written in the caption of a drawing made for his birthday, before she succumbed to brain cancer.
“I’m remote, I’m doing concerts. My sister tells me she insists on getting the iPad. On an iPad, she might draw, because she might no longer write. So she drew me this drawing,” Mika told the TF1 show presented by Audrey Crespo-Mara. “She sent it to me, it took her hours. It’s a portrait of me quite naive with a sailor top and there are flowers coming out of my head. And there is this message: “Happy birthday, I wish you that your head can always bloom.”
A message as tender as it is heartbreaking that the 40-year-old singer took as “instructions” for the rest of his life that his mother wanted to convey to him before leaving. For him, his mission is clear: “keep having ideas,” “turn them into reality,” and “not waste a millimeter of this thing until the end.”
