Roch Voisine, who is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the release of his eternal “Hélène” with a tour in 2025, had to postpone his projects last year due to health problems. The 61-year-old singer contracted group A streptococcal disease from which he has significant after-effects.
“The eardrum was punctured, the pain was severe, I could no longer hear anything. The treatment with antibiotics for a month and a half did not work. An operation was necessary,” he tells “Closer”.
Roch Voisine was not out of the woods. “Doctors discovered a complication and had to intervene in the skull. A heavy intervention. I have not recovered my hearing 100%. There is little chance that I will find her one day,” confides the man who can count on the support of his new partner, Marie-Ève, a 45-year-old accountant.
“Singers have earpieces on TV sets or on stage to hear the orchestra precisely. I have a new listening system that allows me to continue my job perfectly,” reassures the Quebecer. On the other hand, “in private, at home, if I want to listen to a symphony orchestra, for example, it’s hellish, I can no longer have this pleasure.” Above all: he must draw a line under the studio. “I produced or co-produced my 30 albums, I could no longer do it today. It’s very hard,” laments Roch Voisine, who will be on April 5, 2025 at the Théâtre de Beaulieu, in Lausanne.
