A pain in which it comes back in a long interview with Vogue magazine. She entrusts the emotion flower of voice : “When I lost my sister, I had already started work on the album and there was a species of evidence : I could not write about anything else. It was all around her now. It has crystallized the writing, that made it possible. I hope that I have not used it, that I have not served my sentence, but it is this that has allowed me to write “.

I was small enough to not be struck by their side and sulphurous, so that Kate was bigger and that she has suffered. At age 7, covers of magazines, I didn’t care completely while Kate, who was 11 years old, was already a young girl. I built myself a shield. I always heard : ‘Your father is a drug addict, your mother is a whore’, but I was not because there was such a difference with the reality… of course, my father drank, but it was still very far from what people imagined. “

All the time. It is me also who wants to do it live, everything is in reference to it. I had done the same at the death of my father, I was watching everything through his eyes. If Kate has loved a thing, I want to know. Paris was unbearable without it. When I went back home, I was a street away from where we grew up together. At the same time, I am happy that it is marked by its presence, it makes it alive. You know, before, I never did it to the cemetery on the grave of my father. There were always so many people, this was not an intimate moment. Well now, there, I have my little journey : my father, my father-in-law and my sister. “explained she.
