Lara Fabian was invited on the set of "Evening Visitors" on the Belgian channel LN 24 Monday, November 28.

The singer was questioned there about her links with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

When the journalist asked him if the head of the Kremlin was indeed “in love”, the interpreter of “I still believe in it” kindly reframed it…

Lara Fabian certainly did not expect these kinds of questions.

Invited to the

Evening Visitors

set on LN 24 on Monday November 28, the singer, who came to promote her autobiography, was questioned by a journalist about her links with Russia and its President Vladimir Putin. 

Lara Fabian embarrassed by the journalist's questions

"I was told that he was in love with you, President Putin, and that he had already told you so, is that true?",

thus asked Martin Buxant.

Visibly surprised by the journalist's question, Lara Fabian replies: "Ah, no, at least not in this form, I know he liked what I was doing".

Martin Buxant then insists: "He never told you to leave Europe because it could blow up in the years to come?". 

"Don't you know a little more than that, President Putin?"

"No. But it has nothing to do with the fact that he is in love with me", replies the singer, more and more annoyed.

And yet the journalist outbids, determined to get a scoop.

"To find out if you don't know him a little more than that, finally, President Putin?", He insists.

"Not as you express it there (...) Like any artist who is invited to the Kremlin to sing in front of 6,000 or 7,000 people a few evenings a week", replies Lara Fabian. 

Lara Fabian paid "a heavy fine" for singing

La Différence

And the interview continues around the supposed link between the singer and Putin: "Because I read that you risk prison in Russia in particular with a song in favor of the homosexual cause (

".

Lara Fabien explains that she "paid a very heavy fine to sing it. I paid the fine and the evening when there were guards who wanted to take me away, I said 'Take me away, go ahead '" she recalled.

"In fact, it's that Olivier Ciappa (now Olivia, an artist and LGBT activist, editor's note) made

was particularly loved by the public in the Eastern countries and particularly in Moscow" , concludes the 52-year-old star.
