The artist reveals the making-of of his moving show of July 26, in Saint-Denis, the site of the last relay of the Olympic flame. In these images, the singer must face “a big problem”.
He moved a large audience a few hours before the launch of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A week after his event concert in front of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, Slimane recalls this show followed by millions of viewers on television. He has just shared on his Instagram account a behind-the-scenes video of the preparation of the pre-opening concert of the Olympic Games.
We discover him two days before his memorable performance. The artist admits to being very stressed because he is sick and fears not being able to perform vocally on stage. Slimane also had to cancel a concert in Perpignan the day before this highly anticipated live performance. He still keeps smiling and wonders out loud: “Do you think Lady Gaga struggled like that for the opening of the Olympics?
In these images, the artist learns a millimeter-perfect choreography, tries on her magnificent white costume and rehearses with her sidekick from “The Voice Kids”, Lara Fabian. The two iconic singers are happy to be together again and share the interpretation of the moving song “Je suis malade”.
