Stromae will never fully recover from the health problems he has been struggling with since 2015. It all started when he took a special medicine

Before his tour in Africa, Stromae took malaria pills to protect himself. But the drug ‘Lariam’ caused severe side effects. So serious that the US ‘FDA’ warned about it on the package insert as early as 2013…

The popular artist suffered hallucinations from the drug and at one point even feared he was going mad work. Stromae feared never getting rid of the insanity again. The verdict was severe…

Stromae was diagnosed with a mental illness caused by a bad reaction to malaria medicine. The singer was close to despair…

“I was afraid I would do something to myself, I was no longer myself,” Stromae admits. Still prone to anxiety attacks, Stromae sometimes rushes to hospital because he fears the worst.

“I regret very few things in my life,” Stromae says in a candid interview. “But if I could go back in time, I would keep myself from taking that conscious drug. Without any doubt.”
