They were waiting for him, Stromae did. After several years of silence during which Paul Van Haver, his real name, took advantage of his family life and refocused on himself and his mental health, the artist is back with an album. In crowd, talks about her struggle with depression and dark thoughts, life as a couple isn’t always easy either. This frankness and much darker lyrics were hailed by fans who no longer believed in them. Therefore, the announcement of their European tour created public hysteria. Tickets sold out minutes before additional dates were added later in the year in some major cities.
Unfortunately for him, if we are to trust the Zénith de Strasbourg Facebook message published this Tuesday, March 21, the next dates are cancelled: “We regret to announce the cancellation of the Stromae concert scheduled for tomorrow“, is written. The venue staff even reveals the official press release from the singer’s team explaining the reason: “The Auguri Productions and Mosaert teams regret to announce the cancellation of the Stromae concerts scheduled for this week, due to medical reasons.” If they say no more about the evil that is eating away at Stromae, they are already encouraging ticket holders to “approach your point of sale to get the refund“.
Such an announcement disappointed. But while some fans put those feelings aside to support the father of a 4-year-old boy, others couldn’t hide their anger: “Why not a postponement? The second appointment in November is over and we will not have the opportunity to attend”, “Disgusted. So much waiting for a cancellation 1 day before and no postponement planned a priori”, “We already had the right to a postponement and the next concert is already over… I give up”, “No, but it’s a joke! “, ” My daughters are too sad. They’ve been waiting for their concert for a year, telling them at D-1 that we won’t be going”, “A year and a half without waiting for anything”, “I’m nervous..”
Three dates deleted
In total, there are three dates (the one in Strasbourg and the following two planned in Amnéville) that will not have the possibility of being honoured. Stromae has so far not reacted to this last-minute upheaval. His latest post shows him in great form after three evenings in Brussels, his hometown: “After the consultation, Brussels was elected public fire. Thank you for these 3 nights, how good it feels to play at home.“Could it be that one (or more) non-replaceable member of your staff is affected? Case in point!
