Ce 1is October, Salvatore Adamo returns to the stage in Paris at the Olympia. A concert which had been postponed due to health concerns of the 80-year-old Belgian singer, victim of pulmonary edema in October 2023.
Speaking to Le Parisien, Salvatore Adamo gave his news: “Knock on wood, but everything is fine. I regained my breath and my energy. The pulmonary edema disappeared thanks to diuretic treatments. I’ve done six concerts, including the Grand Rex, and it’s okay. I try to slow down as best I can, but it’s not in my character. It has always been a total gift, to be worthy of this privilege that I have to still be able to sing in front of an audience and do what I love. »
“It was morally difficult”: Salvatore Adamo gives his news after his pulmonary edema, which kept him away from the stage for six months
At Le Parisien, Salvatore Adamo took the opportunity to announce the preparation of a new studio album, which will include a duet with Axelle Red: “It will be a double album, between sixteen and eighteen tracks, in very different styles. I started it just before my health problem, in September 2023. It will perhaps be called ‘Medlars and Gooseberries’, from the title of a new social song that I really like. I’m not saying it will be my last, but it’s possible. Each album is a big investment and an anxiety that affects my health (…) It’s the idea of releasing with dignity, of leaving something that I’m really happy with. I try to give the best of the moment and I have the fear of making one album too many, of falling into pathos, even on stage. »
