今天法国年轻歌手Grégory Lemarchal离开人世一周年

Grégory Lemarchal , 曾是法国的著名年轻男歌星,2004年 法国Star Academy (星光大道, 相当于pop idol)的获胜者,但出生后20个月时被诊断患有一种遗传性不治之症:包囊性纤维增生(cystic fibrosis),主要侵袭呼吸系统和消化系统,最多能存活到20或30多岁, 多发生在欧洲人群,在美国此病发生率约1 in 3900 。 患有此病的个人和家人是很不幸,然而Grégory 也是幸运的,上帝赋予他一“天使般的歌喉”。

Grégory 和家人都知道他的生命是很短暂的,但这一点也不影响他和正常的孩子一样去热爱生活,去享受生活,在学校踢球,唱歌等等,只是他必须常往医院跑。在家人和朋友的鼓励下,他去参加Star Academy 的选拔,最终以他的歌唱才能,勤奋和顽强获胜,在他的歌声中我们总能感受到一些Extra, 歌声之外的闪烁。

获胜后他出了一些CD,有些不尽人意,然而大家却不知道,那些时候他正在跟疾病和死亡的恶魔较量。去世前的一个月的某一天,他在女友陪同下还有说有笑地前往医院例行定期检查,谁知一进去就再没能活着走出来了。。。在临满24岁的前14天(2007年4月30日)歌唱王子撒手人间,消息传来,举国震惊。。。, 之前大家都不知道他患有这样严重的不治之症。


Grégory Lemarchal SOS d'un terrien  en detresse (救救疲惫的大地)(05-11-2004 )

一直都喜欢他的歌,去年在法国乡下度假,离Grégory 的家乡不远,我们专程去他的墓地看他。那是一个典型的法国乡村,依山旁水非常安静,想找人问路都找不到,差一点误闯别人的家园造成误会, 最后碰上一群法国人,有老有少,一问他们也是来看Grégory 的,是两家亲戚,一家是本地的,另一家是外地的。二话没说,一同前往,一路上那位热情的太太深情地给我们介绍Grégory 葬礼的情形, 催人泪下。Grégory 所在的墓地都像个小公园,乳白色调,种了许多白玫瑰, 很阳光,没有一丝恐怖,如果是晴朗的白天,让我一人呆在那,我也不会怕。Grégory 的墓地都成了这的旅游景点了,足可以知道他在法国人心目中的地位。

他的音域非常宽广,当您听到这天使般的歌声,您很难想象,这歌声竟来自一位身患绝症的青年,每次演出之前,都要做充分的医疗方面的准备。现在再重听他的歌, 从他的歌声中都能感到一个虚弱但又坚强的生命在颤抖。。。当我静静驻足在他的墓前,又想起当年他在Star Academy 决赛的情景,他的一曲Edith Piaf 的《L'hymn d'amour 爱的赞歌》简直征服了整个法国,也让我的心在流泪。。。而此时此刻, 我们心中那位歌唱王子却已先行而去,静静地躺在这冷冰冰的墓下 , 在另一个世界,温暖吗?这一切的一切能不让我感叹:生命你怎么是如此的美丽而脆弱?? 生和死为什么就仅仅一念之差??渺小的我们无法左右的,只能听从命运,亲爱的上帝,我们到底能做什么??能做什么?。。。

满怀爱意地去拥抱每一天的生活吧。。。

Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs
Pourquoi je ris, pourquoi je pleure
Voici le S.O.S
D'un terrien en détresse
J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur Terre
J'aim'rais mieux être un oiseau
J'suis mal dans ma peau

J'voudrais voir le monde à l'envers
Si jamais c'était plus beau
Plus beau vu d'en haut
D'en haut
J'ai toujours confondu la vie
Avec les bandes dessinées
J'ai comme des envies de métamorphose
Je sens quelque chose
Qui m'attire
Qui m'attire
Qui m'attire vers le haut

Au grand loto de l'univers
J'ai pas tiré l'bon numéro
J'suis mal dans ma peau
J'ai pas envie d'être un robot
Métro boulot dodo

Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs
Pourquoi je crie, pourquoi je pleure
Je crois capter des ondes
Venues d'un autre monde
J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur Terre
J'aim'rais mieux être un oiseau
J'suis mal dans ma peau

J'voudrais voir le monde à l'envers
J'aim'rais mieux être un oiseau
Dodo l'enfant do



Grégory Jean-Paul Lemarchal (May 13, 1983April 30, 2007) was a French singer and winner of the fourth series of the reality TV programme Star Academy, broadcasted on the TF1 television network.

Grégory was born in La Tronche, and raised near Chambéry, as the first child of mother Laurence and father Pierre Lemarchal, with a sister Leslie. At twenty months of age, he was diagnosed with the hereditary disease cystic fibrosis.

In 1995, he became France's champion of acrobatic rock.

In 1998, he unsuccessfully participated in the show "Graines de stars", but became a local star.

Through a friend, in mid-June of 2004, Lemarchal was contacted by the producers of Star Academy in Paris who needed one more male singer for the show. On December 22, Lemarchal was announced the winner, with 80% of the total vote, an unmatched score.

His debut single, "Ecris l'histoire" peaked at number two on the French singles chart in March 2005 and was certified platinum. His album, "Je deviens moi", released on April 18, entered at number one.

At the NRJ Music Awards in January 2006, Lemarchal was awarded "breakthrough artist of the year" ("Révélation francophone de l'année"). In the spring, he completed his first solo nationwide tour, and a DVD of his performance at the Olympia was released. A new French duet version of the British singer Lucie Silvas' hit single "What You're Made Of" went to number two in the singles chart.

In 2007, Lemarchal announced that his health was deteriorating and that he was ordered by doctors to take a few months off in order to recuperate. However, he died of complications from cystic fibrosis on the morning of April 30, 2007, waiting for an organ transplant.

The story was in the news headlines all week and five thousand fans went to Chambery to lay flowers on the day of his funeral. On May 4, a special television programme was broadcast on TF1 to commemorate his life, and its 10.5 million viewers were asked to donate money to help progress research into finding a cure. So far more than 7.5 million euros have been raised.

Since his death, Gregory and mourning girlfriend Karine have been featured in a wide number of tabloid stories. A posthumous album was released, and controversy has raised on whether he would have wanted the songs featured in it to surface or not. Record company Universal Music Group France has also been accused of cashing-in the renewed interest in his work that followed his passing.

On December 28, 2007, Star Academy 7 had a Gregory tribute titled "La voix d'un ange" (the voice of an angel). It raised over 5 million euros for the foundation of Gregory Lemarchal "vaincre la mucoviscidose".

Grégory's family founded Association Grégory Lemarchal, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of people and the families of people with cystic fibrosis, on June 7, 2007, a month after Grégory's death. The organization assists in information outreach, scientific research and combating negative public perception and discrimination of people with cystic fibrosis.[1]
