"Don't forget the lyrics": this absence which worried fans of the show of Nagui: Femme Actuelle The MAG

Among the faithful followers of Do not forget the lyrics, there are of course fans of French song, but also unconditional fans of Nagui. But the flagship host of France 2 is not the only music tele-hook star. Yes, there is also Magali Ripoll and Fabien Haimovici. The duo of musicians, who also serve as backing vocalists for the candidates, is an absolutely inseparable element of the show. In fact, viewers love their complicity with Nagui! The three sidekicks don't hesitate to tease (sometimes saucy) each other. So inevitably, when one of them is absent from the antenna, it does not go unnoticed… This is what happened on December 1, 2020. On social networks, Internet users were worried not to find Fabien Haimovici on the screen for several shows in a row.

Fabien Haimovici, the chorister, explains the reasons for his absence

“It's good Fabien can come back now, it's starting to take a long time ”,“ When is Fabien coming back? It's long", "Where is Fabien?”,“ I prefer Fabien's voice, when will he be back? ”,“ Still no Fabien ”,“ Fabien is missing a lot ”,“ Fabien's humor is missing ”,“ Shit Fabien is not there ”,“ I want Fabien back ”, could we read on Twitter. It was finally on December 9 that the chorister returned to the set of Do not forget the lyrics. A relief for fans of the entertainment of France 2, who did not hesitate to comment on this return and to theorize the reasons for it. “I'm sure Fabien had the Covid and they don't want to say it ", wrote one Internet user. Faced with this excitement, Fabien Haimovici agreed to explain his absence in the columns of TV-Leisure, Tuesday December 29. “It's nice! It flatters the ego a bit. It’s nice to feel loved and to miss people ”, rejoices the musician first.

“Some people feel like I've been away for a long time, but be aware that it was just time for a day of filming!”, then reveals Fabien Haimovici, before specifying: “Since we shoot 14 shows in one day, at the end of the day, it was a little over a week off the air.” Finally, Nagui's colleague revealed the real reasons for his departure. “Some thought I was sick, but no: I went to rehearse with Bénabar!”, he concludes with our colleagues. Indeed, Fabien Haimovici is also the backing vocalist of the singer Bénabar. He therefore accompanies him during his concerts, which forces him to take a break from the shootings of Do not forget the lyrics. Moreover, Nagui had already had to explain the absence of his musician for a few shows in October 2019. During these periods, he was replaced by Damien Schmitt.
