Hugues Aufray Addresses Health Concerns Following Concert Postponement
Hugues Aufray postponed another concert due to technical issues on Friday, November 13, prompting the 97-year-old singer to release a video addressing fan concern over his health.
Fans began worrying after reading press reports about the tour schedule changes, Soirmag reported. The artist explained on Instagram that the latest cancellation stemmed strictly from technical factors rather than medical emergencies.
The singer conceded he recently suffered from a severe sore throat accompanied by a general respiratory system infection. He balanced the health update by widening the lens to social conditions, remarking that things are difficult everywhere right now.
“I reassure you, it’s going badly all over the world,”
Aufray said on Instagram, according to Soirmag.
Earlier health troubles hit the tour on October 22, when a performance scheduled for the next day was canceled due to acute laryngitis that caused a complete loss of voice, Paris Match reported. That missed date was rescheduled for January 8, 2027.
The production company behind the Escapada! tour previously issued a statement to calm supporters following the October cancellation. Producers stressed that the situation contained nothing alarming and noted the singer was resting to recover his voice.
“He is in great shape and is resting in order to find his voice as soon as possible,”
the production company wrote in a statement published on social media, as noted by Paris Match.
Aufray reiterated his determination to continue performing across France and Belgium despite the hurdles. He emphasized that maintaining courage remains essential when facing difficult circumstances.
“Life is complicated for everyone. I am not complaining, and I want to reassure my loyal fans: I am in good health and everything is fine,”
Aufray told Soirmag.
