There wasn't just Lulu in the lives of Bambou and Serge Gainsbourg. Before the birth of their son, the singer and his muse had to become parents for the first time. But they didn't know it. While filming in Gabon for Ecuador, Bambou understood that something was wrong. “It's moving in my stomach. It's strange, sometimes painful. It worries me,
I'm afraid I caught amoebas in Gabon”she says in her autobiography.
“I go to the hospital. They do a blood test. They tell me, 'No, you don't have an amoeba. But you are pregnant. And have been for some time.' I'm having an ultrasound on the screen. a six month old fetus. I fall backwards. (…) I am terrified”remembers Bambou. After a long denial of pregnancy, she learned terrible news. “And even more terrified by what I will soon be told. The fetus seems completely normal, although much too small for its age. This means that'he risks dying in my stomach“she wrote again.
She “wanted it a lot”
In the columns of Le Figaro, we learn that his eldest never had a first name. “When I woke up after the operation, the baby had disappeared. I never saw him. Serge managed everything with the doctors. I really blamed myself”confides the one who was 25 years old at the time. Bambou and Serge Gainsbourg have spoken little about this drama. Except one day, after the birth of their son Lucien. He was still very small then, but already aware of what his parents had gone through.
“One day, Serge said to me: 'Do you remember when we lost…', and he stopped suddenly, realizing that Lulu, 3 years old, was listening. Lulu gave up her game and replied: 'Yes, that' was a boy, it was me and I came back', her mother told Paris Match. Serge turned pale and turned towards me, frightened. Lulu didn't know anything and what could he know, at his age, about reincarnation ? It bordered on the paranormal.” But this scene lifted the morale of Bambou, devastated after the death of her first child.
Bamboo: “the worst ordeal of my life”
“Losing this baby was the worst ordeal of my life. I thought I had killed him, I felt so guilty. It was horrible. I wanted to let myself die but Serge was able to reassure me by offering me 'have another child of our own', confided the singer's last companion to Gala. Lulu is now the pride of Bambou. Even if the musician sometimes has difficulty following the same path as his famous dad.
“Copper”, recently confided his mother in the columns of Liberation. “I passed on values and principles to him. In fact, Serge was very strict. He wanted Lulu to be well-mannered, polite, respectfuladded Bambou about his son Lucien. I feel like I've arrived there. But it’s been a full-time job.”
