On the occasion of the release of his book "Live and be reborn every day" (to be published by XO editions on September 29), Patrick Sébastien confided in Le Figaro over the past two years: "I am 68 years old and I just went through a real tsunami.

I still have a 40 cm scar.

It's not the end of something, it's the beginning of something else
.
We are not reborn, neither in resentment nor in bitterness.

Patrick Sébastien does not exclude that his stormy eviction from France Télévisions has a place with his cancer: “It is not directly linked but there is a link between stress and health.
“And to evoke the possibility that the vaccine triggered his illness:” I am not a conspirator but I am watching.
Before the vaccine, I had nothing.
And then I ended up with prediabetes, prostatitis.
I'm not accusing, but I'm wondering.
Around me, it's the same, many people have found themselves with a pathology.
