“Mika Philharmonique”, a performance captured at the Chorégies d'Orange 2024, is offered this Wednesday July 10 at 9:10 p.m. on France 3. The opportunity to take an interest in the singer, in particular his rare confidences about his private life and his childhood.
Mika, who reinvents his famous hits at the Chorégies d'Orange with the Avignon-Provence National Orchestra and the South Region Choir, under the artistic direction of Simon Leclerc (concert to follow this Wednesday evening on France 3 from 9:10 p.m.), has not never been one to talk about his private life. The one who recently ignited the Accor Arena in Bercy, however, agreed to make an exception for his appearance on Le Divan by Marc-Olivier Fogiel in 2015.
Returning in particular for the journalist to his childhood, far from easy..."My father left on a business trip and he did not return for nine months because he was taken hostage in the embassy American in Kuwait, during the first Gulf War", he said in particular. A traumatic situation: "Every day, we waited for news, we watched CNN, the newspaper... to see... We knew that if we didn't see it on television, it was because it was good and , conversely, that if we saw it, it was not a good thing." A long anguish which traumatized his mother.
Mika and his financial problems
But one day, Mika's father came home. A big relief, before a big disillusionment: "He had changed a little and that changed the whole life of the family. We had a good life and, after that moment, I don't know why, we had a lot of money problems. (...) We had to leave Paris in quite sad circumstances because we had lost almost everything." Mika continued to have financial problems, even after becoming a world star. The fault of taking big risks. Because the 40-year-old artist is very perfectionist, and therefore ready to do anything to ensure that everything goes as he wishes.
But the coach of The Voice remains privileged, in certain aspects. As evidenced by his incredible house in Miami, with decoration that is both astonishing and in his image. He has already shown his interior on TikTok, via very funny videos.
The setting is absolutely idyllic!
