Lara returned to social media this past week with several contributions to her Instagram site. In the first she posted the following:
It reads, “Take me away from the wisdom that doesn't cry, from the philosophy that doesn't laugh and from the greatness that doesn't bow down to children.” – Kahlil Gibran
Then there was this, ‘blast from the past’,
It reads, “Pure childhood joy.... My little cousin Elena and I... this morning I share a bit of my childhood and its innocence... "May our souls remain forever dancing like that day, embraced smiling"
I love you ❤️Prima
Finally, bringing us back to the present, with her daughter,
“So proud to be your mother, you are the only answer to all my prayers, the light of my life ... Lou”
One can see how all these posts are related… and, as noted below, why Lara posted them...
The picture of Lou continues the trend of Lara increasingly showing her, now that Lou has some ‘agency’ about it. Nevertheless, the scarcity was recognized in some articles, e.g., (https://www.noovomoi.ca/en-vedette/lara-fabian-adorable-rare-photo-fille.html):

Lara Fabian publishes an adorable and rare photo with her daughter Lou
Lara Fabian puts a HUGE smile on our face today!
The sparkling singer has published an adorable and rare photo of her daughter Lou on her social networks and the result is adorable.
The mother and the young woman form a cute duo together in the car, under the Quebec sun!

Lara Fabian: her fiery declaration to her daughter Lou, sublime on a new shot
On the occasion of Mother's Day, Sunday May 29, 2022, Lara Fabian unveiled a snapshot with her daughter Lou. The opportunity to discover that the young woman has changed a lot and displays a new look.
Lara Fabian is gradually finding a smile with her daughter . Sunday May 29, 2022, on the occasion of Mother's Day, she shared a snapshot, on her Instagram account , with the love of her life, Lou. " So proud to be your mom, you are the only answer to all my prayers, the light of my life...Lou ", indicated the mother of the family in the caption of the photo. What to realize is that the young woman has changed a lot. Now she has a nose piercing, wears makeup around her blue eyes and has colored hair. In fact, it is red. Today, Lou lives in Quebec with his mother and stepfather, Gabriel Di Giorgio. On many occasions, Lara Fabian assured that her daughter was fulfilled but did not think of heading towards the same career as her mother.
"She doesn't express herself through music, even if she plays the piano and sings very well. It's baking that interests her. I found her internships for this summer and she takes lessons outside school. I find this passion great", explained the former coach of The Voice in 2020 in the columns of the magazine Gala .
Internet users were seduced by the snapshot shared by Lara Fabian
The new snapshot shared by the singer touched and seduced Internet users: "Superb Lou just like her mother", "Lou has grown up so much! She is a beautiful girl! You are like two sisters", "What a beauty your daughter, she has from whom to hold”, one read among the comments. As a reminder, Lara Fabian is the mother of a young woman of 14 years. Mother and daughter are very close and enjoy spending time together.
---------------------------------
If anyone wondered whether Lara would be joining La Voix next winter in Quebec, one can stop now. An article in (https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/05/31/nouveaux-coachs-a-la-voix) introduced them. The article notes that “Veteran Marc Dupré will have three new coaches at his side for the return of La Voix next winter to TVA. And we are talking about big names since it is Corneille, Marjo and Mario Pelchat who will take their places in the other red armchairs.”
If one asks whether Lara is being played on French radio stations, ‘Le Soir’ had this article (https://www.lesoir.be/445402/article/2022-05-30/quelle-place-pour-les-artistes-belges-sur-les-radios-francophones):
------------------------------
What place for Belgian artists on French-speaking radio stations?
"Le Soir" analyzed the playlists of seven French-speaking radio stations for seven months, to measure the place reserved for artists from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Here is the verdict…
“Want a good piece of music to start the day off right? Let's go for Ed Sheeran. On October 18, at 8 a.m., it was difficult to escape him, present on three radios with two of his hits. A prolonged group shot throughout the day. With 17 radio appearances that Monday, the Briton is one of the most broadcast artists of the day. The other darlings of French-speaking radio stations? Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Clara Luciani, Elton John, Coldplay, The Weekend, Soprano, Amel Bent and… Lost Frequencies, the only Belgian among the ten most broadcast artists that day.”
And in a separate article about Belgian representation, (https://www.lesoir.be/445426/article/2022-05-30/radios-francophones-angele-stromae-et-lost-frequencies-le-trio-magique-qui), they found “French-speaking radios: Angèle, Stromae and Lost Frequencies, the magic trio that leaves little room for others. These three artists alone take up a quarter of the airtime reserved for French-speaking Belgians. Behind, some young singers are broadcast only at night, or once every moon.”
----------------------------
No great surprise, but Lara will see whether that represents her real drawing power when her French concerts take place next fall.
As noted on various fan sites, there is another article about Lara and her book ‘Je passe a table’, this one from the Journal of Montreal. Here’s the translation:
---------------------------------
Lara Fabian: recipes and confidences
ISABELLE HUOT
Lara Fabian marked us all with her role as director at Star Académie. She guided the academicians with all the benevolence for which she is known. Her book Je passe à table is much more than a biography, it describes her professional and personal journey around meals and tables that have marked her life. It was during my visit to the Manoir de Waterloo for a nutrition workshop offered to academicians that I was able to talk to this luminous woman. Meet this lover of the pleasures of the table!
You have just launched an inspiring book that tells your story, your journey and the key recipes associated with it, ranging from baby pasta (with pecorino cheese) to your mom's osso buco. How did the idea for such a book come about?
LF: An idea of doing a biography based solely on my career did not sufficiently reflect who I am now. I had a checkered life, each time I evoke happy memories, they are related to the pleasures of the table. I found it more fun to offer a book that describes my professional and personal life through culinary experiences and encounters that marked my memories. The recipes in the book also reflect my life in Sicily and the comforting recipes of Mum Luisa, my stay in Tunisia with my mother-in-law at the time, Madeleine, or even my good years in Russia. French comedy pancakes, Tunisian fish couscous, blinis, salmon caviar are recipes that reflect my life experiences.
You mention an eating disorder that has been present in your life for 7 years, after consulting several resources, is your Japanese friend the one who allowed you to rediscover the pleasure of eating?
LF: At the age of 29, I developed a complex eating disorder. I weighed and measured everything and could eat just one apple a day, taking care to cut it into quarters so I only ate one at a time. I suffered from both anorexia and bulimia for years. If some comments about my physique triggered my eating disorder, it probably started earlier, with girlish pains resurging years later. I later realized that this disorder was fueled by the fact that food was the only thing I could control at the time. My Japanese friend, Masayo, who runs a tea room in Paris, was a lifeline for me. With her small dishes of great delicacy, I started eating again, very small quantities at a time. And this meeting plunged me back into my love of the table. I rediscovered this beautiful relationship with food. My love-hate relationship with food lasted several years, but I finally found harmony thanks to Masayo.
Your eating disorder began with comments received about your physique. What would you say today to young people who receive such comments and who have an excessive concern with regard to their weight and their image?
LF: Fortunately, times have changed, the era of the Barbie is well and truly over. From now on, we welcome you if what you deploy is in harmony with you. My advice to young people would be to keep cultivating what makes them feel good. Body diversity on screen and in the arts can only promote better self-esteem!
How did an Italian woman's daughter handle being diagnosed with gluten sensitivity?
LF: I suffered from several inflammatory disorders without knowing the reason and life put a geneticist gastroenterologist in my path who immediately suspected this intolerance! If the meeting was extraordinary for my health, I had to make a difficult mourning for everything I loved: pasta, bread, desserts that colored my childhood in Sicily. At the time, gluten-free foods were really not good and I was really sad to have to let go of the foods that permeated my food culture. I was resilient and was finally able to find excellent gluten-free breads and pastas. My daughter Lou has developed a strong interest in baking and, thanks to her, I now enjoy gourmet gluten-free desserts. Tiramisu with gluten-free finger biscuits, rice flour sponge cake, no-bake cheesecake ... small pleasures allowed without compromising on taste!
How do you adapt your diet during the tours?
LF: I'm very disciplined when I'm on tour, that's how I perform best. I never drink alcohol when I'm performing, I love wine, but I save it when not on tour. On the road, I bring myself lots of little things: bananas, almonds and dark chocolate in particular, just to be able to have snacks regularly. I also take green juice in the morning. I will often opt for a chicken breast that I complete with vegetables that I buy at the grocery store (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers). I avoid fast food chains, that's how I feel best about my musical performances.
Your best advice for performing well on stage in terms of food?
LF: Everyone is different, but personally I eat four hours before a performance. I eat mostly slow carbs (like brown rice) with some protein. I take small portions that are easily digested and that's how I feel better on stage.
Overall health is important to you. What are your strategies in terms of healthy lifestyle despite a crazy schedule?
LF: I'm less disciplined right now with the lack of time related to filming, but being in good shape is important to me because it allows me to age in good health. Eating well and being active are part of my lifestyle and the pleasure of cooking and sharing a meal is part of my core values.
To discover Lara's story with the people who have marked both her life and her culinary inspiration, Je passe à table is an attractive book that immerses us in the universe of an authentic international artist who cultivates a love of the table. To our greatest delight!

A lot of good advice, even for those without ostensible eating disorders…
In other news, Felix Lemelin announced, in the following video,
www.facebook.com/FelixLemelinOff/videos/3293866107502915
that having now finished his undergraduate degree, he will be opening for Lara at her shows in Montreal (June 14-16) and in Quebec City (June 20). He notes that his album came out last April, and this will be the first time he will be able to focus on singing the songs from it. As we know he has long been a favorite of Lara’s, and this should be a great boost for his career. BTW, do you remember when Lara asked Audrey-Louise to join her on stage during her Quebec performances, in the wake of the controversy associated with her dismissal from the Star Academie? We’ll see whether that happens…
Interesting photo(s) of the week:
Gabriel’s 40th birthday was on May 25th, and the ‘Lara Fabian est ton autre’ FB site left this nice picture of him and Lara,
www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=548979623263510&set=a.216252733202869
And in another set of photos, there is Lara looking pristine and pure, from the larafabian_fanpage_
Finally, note that 'Lara Fabian the Netherlands' FB site has been adding nice (past) pictures of Lara almost every day…
Lara will likely be engaged in rehearsals for her upcoming shows, starting in a little more than two weeks. The show in Quebec City has more than 800 tickets left (so it’s about 60% full)…the Three Rivers show on the 18th looks to be about the same…presumably there will be more excitement about them as the time gets shorter…
Stay safe everybody,
David
