At 41, Mika looked back on his first time with a man, when he was 15 years old. And apparently it didn't go well.
At 41, Mika will be the godfather of the 2024 Telethon. A huge honor for the singer who has always been very involved in
the causes that are close to his heart. Present on the set of C à vous, the artist returned to the reasons which pushed him to accept this role.
Mika, new sponsor of the Telethon
Faced with Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, Mika confides: “The Telethon belongs to the French people. What they have accomplished since the first Telethon is concrete, remarkable, and there is still much to do. Many diseases don't yet have treatments, and some don't even have names, just numbers. However, the research and treatments resulting from these efforts have applications for many other areas“, confides the singer, delighted to be able to use his notoriety and his aura to try to collect donations. Always very frank in his declarations, the singer recently returned to his private life.
The artist without tongue in cheek on his first time
Indeed, for the magazine StubbornMika had agreed to reconsider his sexual orientation. The former coach of The Voice returned to his first homosexual experience which he defines as being “disastrous”. “It was humiliating! I was 15 – I think – and I didn't understand anything. We should say more often thatGay sex is not easy “specifies the singer. Since 2007 and until 2023, the singer spent his daily life with Andy, whose real name is Andréas Dermanis. In his song that Me, Andy and ParisMika looks back on her breakup: “It's also a love song.” he explains in the columns of the magazine
Paris Match. “I'm talking about the love triangle, between Andy, Paris and me. And I say that the three of them together, it's not possible… Andy came to Paris, we had an argument. I asked him to leave and I didn't talk to him for two months. What could I do in those two months? Well, I wrote this…“
The singer opens up about his coming out
And Mika affirms it: “The songs are not Care Bears, they are there to complicate our lives. But hey, we've been together for nineteen years, so writing about our problems also allows me to get better“And it was during her relationship with Andy that Mika had the courage to come out.”We were sitting in the kitchen. My mother said to me: 'What difference does it really make? I always knew it. If you didn't know, that's your problem'“, he explained to Paris Match.
“The considerations of these people are media and commercial. They don't care about the person.”
