In an interview with our Belgian colleagues of "Soir Mag" Wednesday, March 15, 2023, Hélène Ségara gave news of her state of health. A way for the 52-year-old singer to silence the many rumors that have circulated about it. The interpreter of "Elle, tu l'aimes" actually suffers from a rare eye disease.

Fans of Hélène Ségara can be reassured: their idol is doing well, despite her illness, an irreversible macular degeneration that has already forced her to limit some of her tours.
