Despite her gentleness, Lara Fabian can sometimes show her fangs. If some doubt it, they were able to have proof this Saturday March 23, 2024 during the appearance of the 54-year-old singer in Quelle Époque.
Facing Léa Salamé, the interpreter of Je t’aime came to present Your pain, her latest track from an album prepared in collaboration with Slimane. But during her interview with the journalist, Lara Fabian made several heartbreaking revelations. Particularly when she spoke of her desire to end things when she went through a very dark period.

Lara Fabian “rejected” by the industry in her early days
It was in her early days and the Belgian-Canadian singer was the subject of much criticism: “Anyway, she’s fat and ugly, when you’re ugly you don’t do this job… People said all that to my face , because it was more fun for them. But I was courageous and resilient. It took more courage than talent for my career,” she initially revealed before continuing: “I I think it was my path, I had to overcome all that to make my way. I was born for this and I had to go through it.”
The interpreter of Je t’aime reveals that upon his arrival in the United States, his powerful voice was criticized while it was recognized as “fantastic” by Florent Pagny or Céline Dion. “In fact, we end up crossing that bridge and 20 years later, I don’t care regarding having the card because I have finally become who I am. But at one point, I wanted to end it life…”, she later revealed before specifying: “Because my voice was my life. My voice is my soul and people said that they hated hearing me sing, that I was shouting…”
Christophe Dechavanne cropped by the singer
During these revelations, on several occasions, Christophe Dechavanne cut Lara Fabian to provide some clarifications to the information given by the singer. But when her dark period was mentioned, she did not hesitate to reframe it.
“Excuse me, I haven’t finished,” she said when the host wanted to recall a statement made by the singer in the past on this subject. “I like the way you tackled him. You have more authority than me,” laughed Léa Salamé, visibly admiring Lara Fabian’s courage. Once the singer’s speech was finished, Christophe Dechavanne still had authorization to intervene.
