The next album by the interpreter of

I am sick,

called

Aimer

, will therefore be the 24th and last project of his discography.

“There is a moment when things stop.

You have to know that we get older, that my body makes me suffer a lot, that I have a lot of problems inherent to the passage of time and so there is a moment when you have to know how to stop before being stopped “

, he explains at the microphone of RTL not without a certain emotion in the voice.

Before the release of

Aimer

on October 7, Serge Lama unveiled a first track of the same name this Friday.

A few days ago, the artist, a monument of French song, revealed the cover of the album, almost identical to that of his 1973 success, the album

I am sick

, with one exception: the young Serge gave way to his current self.

An album which will not be the subject of a tour explains the one who will have made up to 307 concerts a year at one period of his career, for fear of disappointing his fans:

"There is something that hurts, but at the same time is the respect of the public.

That is to say that I do not want to show myself on stage in conditions that would not be optimal

.

Serge Lama considers himself lucky to have been able to sing this album, at almost 80 years old:

"I was still a man of voice, so it's complicated to live up to what we have summer

If he had explained that he did not want to reschedule a farewell tour after the one canceled twice due to the Covid-19 crisis, he did not rule out an exceptional evening at the Olympia.
