Garou, the renowned Canadian singer and actor, shared a remarkable experience during his recent trip to Morocco. In an interview published on April 12, 2026, he revealed that he believes he encountered a sorcerer who cast a “spell of success” on him.
This unusual event occurred while Garou was performing in a bar in Morocco, shortly after he had recorded demos for the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. At 53 years old, Garou reflected on how this experience was pivotal in his career, stating, “I ran into a sorcerer because I almost died. Something quite crazy happened to me.”
Garou’s journey to Morocco was significant as it coincided with his first trip to Paris, where he would later record his breakout song, ‘Belle’. He noted that just a week or ten days after his encounter with the sorcerer, he returned to Paris to record the song that would become the best-selling single of the 1990s in France, with over 2,500,000 copies sold.
His connection to fortune-telling extends beyond this experience; Garou’s mother was once advised by a fortune teller to cancel a surgical operation that would have prevented her from having more children. The fortune teller assured her, “Cancel your operation, you will get pregnant.” Garou believes that without this intervention, he would not exist today.
Since 2020, Garou has embraced a more tranquil lifestyle, influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. He is currently on tour in Canada and is set to perform in France starting November 2026. His reflections on life and career highlight the intertwining of fate and success in his journey.
As fans and followers react to Garou’s intriguing story, many are left wondering about the mystical elements that can influence one’s path. Details remain unconfirmed, but Garou’s narrative certainly adds a layer of fascination to his already illustrious career.
