Shirley Tharox: “I will never stop …”

Going on stage solo in Montreal was Shirley Therox’s great dream. And because of the epidemic he almost slipped through his fingers.

The meeting was originally set for April 2020, but the first wave of Kovid-19 wanted something different. After five installments, the singer finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel: she finally arrives on stage at Guess in Montreal on Thursday evening to perform her first solo show, Sing to speak.

“I care about this show. I could not have imagined that one day I would stop my career without singing on stage in the city where I grew up,” she sighed.

At the end of the line, Shirley Throx had a fever. You can feel him in his voice, in his speech. Because she has long been afraid to put a stop to such an expensive project.

“I’m also ready to regret it. I’m very frustrated; I want it to take me with a spoon. But I’m not been bitter. I want to move on. I do not have time for the rest, ”she declared with the full confidence we know about her.

Matter of attitude

It is precisely this attitude that has sustained him for the past two years. Because as a mother and grandmother her heart constraints made it harder. And they stole his creativity for many months.

“I can sit at my piano, or even paint in my studio and I could not create. It is completely null. But the hardest thing was that during the first lockdown my son would come and bring me food and not be able to hug him. The same thing happened to my grandchildren. It’s horrible to lose human relationships and affections, ”she sighed.

“I’m a singer”
