Usually very reserved about his family life, Slimane made heartbreaking confidences in the face of Nikos Aliagas in the show 50 mins inside May 28, 2022. Distraught, the singer confided that his mother had diabetes and that her disease causes her a significant loss of sight to the point that she is going blind.
“I’ll try not to cry, it’s the first time I talk about it” entrusted the interpreter of the title On the edge of you before continuing: “My mother has had a disease for a very long time and her diabetes has attacked her eyes“. Very admiring of his mother, he also dedicated the title In the dark in his new album One of them where he tries to “put oneself in his place“.
Sad, he also revealed with great emotion that his mother’s eyesight had deteriorated enormously and that she had not been able to recognize him recently when he was in front of her. “When she says to me: ‘But are you sure it’s Slimane?’, well, inevitably, it upsets“, confided the former acolyte of Vitaa, frightened at the idea of thinking that one day his mother could no longer see him.
Fortunately, her mother was able to see the face of her precious daughter named Esmeralda, born a few months ago. “When my mother told me that she was afraid not to see her, and she saw her and she said to me: ‘It’s okay, I know what she looks like’, it is very strong“, he confided relieved and very moved.
