"My mistake is that I loved a man more than myself." Lara Fabian Love Stories
Men of different professions and life views met on the path of Lara Fabian, but Lara met real, mature love only recently. The experience of the singer proves that all events in life happen when they should happen. On the eve of the Lara Fabian concert on November 30, we recall the love stories of a popular artist.
Rick
May 1990, Brussels, Lara Crocket (real name of the singer) - 20 years old. She has already hit the big jackpot of the competition for young talents, recorded a prize single, behind the conservatory and Eurovision-88. Lara performs in music bars and dreams of a big stage. Once pianist Rick Allison (Rick Allison) looks into the light - he immediately begins to accompany the girl with an angelic voice, they instantly fall in love and after a short time, in search of creative freedom, leave for the other side of the globe - to Canada.
Many people call this moment in the singer's career a turning point - no one knows how her creative fate would have developed if she had stayed in Europe. In Canada, the first album of Lara Fabian was released, and it was there that she first received unconditional recognition from the public. All projects created with Rick Allison were very successful. But Rick's pathological jealousy did its dirty deed - after 6 years of marriage, the couple broke up.
Patrick
In the late nineties, Lara Fabian returns to Europe. After her first concert at the famous Olympia Hall in Paris, she meets Patrick Fiori, who plays the role of Phoebus in the mega-popular musical Notre Dame de Paris. Passionate love flared up in an instant - they sang a duet, breaking the hearts of fans, their joint photos did not leave the pages of magazines, they made grandiose plans, and a year after they met, they bought a land plot on the island of Corsica for a future nest.
But the relationship between Lara and Patrick was by no means cloudless, as it might seem at first. For Lara, Patrick became the meaning of life, she seemed to have dissolved in him. And Patrick just wanted freedom - the playful role of Phoebus was to his liking in life. The yellow press, which followed every step of the star couple, added fuel to the fire. Upon learning of Patrick's real infidelities, Lara announced a break in relations. Later she will say: "My mistake is that I loved a man more than myself." It was then that the singer, having experienced a deep depression, reviewed her whole life and accepted herself as real. Including on stage - for the first time Lara Fabian sang the way she felt herself.
Gerard
For several years, Lara devoted herself to creativity - live concerts, tours in different countries, meetings with fans, participation in performances, shows and charity events. Immersion in the work she loves helps her survive the setbacks in her personal life. At this time, the famous French director Gerard Pullicino appears on the horizon again. Again, because they have known each other for many years - it was Gerard who shot her first video for Lara back in 1988. Now a romantic relationship began between him, and a year later Lara Fabian's cherished dream came true: she became a mother.
Motherhood has become a great happiness for the singer. According to her, only having given birth to a child, she felt like a real woman. But love didn't work out again. In November 2012, Lara Fabian posted the following on her official social media page: “To prevent various rumors, I want to warn you that Gerard and I, by common agreement, have decided to part after 7 years of a happy life together. We will keep our relationship with the utmost respect and affection for the sake of our little Lou. I know that you will make this decision. I can't say anything more comprehensive on this subject.
Gregory
Another story in the biography of Lara Fabian was added by the Star Academy project (French "Star Factory"). One of the participants - Gregory Lemarchal - chose the famous Je T "aime for the competition and performed it in such a way that Lara Fabian herself wanted to sing a duet with a young talent. Together they recorded the song "Ave Maria", Lara Fabian perfectly got used to the image of a beauty in love. So and the myth of the love relationship between Lara and Gregory was born.
In 2007, Gregory Lemarchal died as a result of an incurable hereditary disease. The Golden Voice of France was only 23 years old. The tragedy shook the country, and Lara Fabian, like everyone else, deeply experienced the loss. The singer began her first concert after the incident with the same composition - Je T "aime, dedicating it to Gregory. Due to tears, Lara could not sing, and then the audience of many thousands sang along with her, replacing "I love you" with "We love you" In this touching moment, Lara Fabian again believed in the love she had been singing about all her life.
Gabriel
In June 2013, Lara Fabian marries illusionist Gabriel Di Giorgio. The wedding ceremony took place at the foot of Mount Etna, the husband of the pop diva fully supported her idea of a small wedding with the invitation of the closest ones. The news about the wedding turned out to be so unexpected that it was even called some kind of trick, hinting at the profession of the chosen one. And the happy Lara reminded the bewildered public that her personal life has always been under the microscope of the press. And any public appearance with a man by the paparazzi was called the beginning of a new romance. Therefore, she did everything possible to keep this love story intact.
