In 2023, singer Stromae made the painful decision to cancel the end of his tour. The Belgian wrote on Instagram: “A few months ago, I felt a deterioration in my state of health which led me to give up on a few first dates in France and then in Europe. Surrounded by my doctors, my family, my friends and my team, I 'I was hoping to be able to get back on my feet quickly to get back on the road and find you again as quickly as possible'. “Unfortunately, today I have to accept that this time of rest and remission will be longer than I imagined; It is therefore with immense regret that I will not be able to honor my promise and that I announce the end of the Multitude tour today. This decision is difficult but necessary to be able to get better”he concluded gravely. On September 10, 2024, the Belgian artist reappeared on Instagram where he announced news that brightened his fans' day.
“First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Your kindness and empathy, following the cancellation of the end of the tour, touched me enormously. I am aware that this situation may have disappointed some and I would have liked to end the adventure Multitude on a better note”he first regretted. Stromae then announced that with his team, “through a long and laborious process”, it was possible to “gather and ride lall existing images around the live in order to offer you the opportunity to discover the show for free or simply relive it”. “More information will follow soon… I hope you enjoy the film”finished the young dad. Since then, radio silence but this Thursday, November 21, 2024, news from the singer reached us. Stromae completely changed his look to meet King Philippe of Belgium. Exit, the bun and the long ponytail, the artist appeared with a very short haircut with a smile on his face. The reason? He was decorated by the Belgian King as Commander of the Order of the Crown in Brussels, Belgium.
Stromae rewarded for his art
A great honor for the interpreter of “All the same”. When presenting his distinction, King Philippe declared: “Paul Van Haver, better known as Stromae, embodies originality in all its aspects. Every word, every note, every gesture carries its unique imprint, recognizable among a thousand”. In all, these are 25 personalities who were decorated at the Royal Palace in Brussels such as the surgeon and former minister Reginald Moreels, the cancer researcher Damya Laoui, the chefs Seppe Nobels and Sang Hoon Degeimbre, or the authors Geneviève Damas and Caroline Lamarche, the illustrator Marie Paquay, to name but a few.. Bravo Master!
