Marine Delplace, the winner of the latest season of the reality show Star Academy, took to Instagram on March 24, 2025, to reassure her fans about her health after concerns arose due to her hands trembling during a concert in Lille. The 24-year-old singer addressed the matter directly in her social media update, clarifying that the shaking was simply a byproduct of stress rather than a serious health issue.
Since her victory on January 25, 2025, Marine has been riding a wave of success and is currently on tour with the other participants of Star Academy. Her hands trembled noticeably during a performance, prompting concern among fans who began questioning her well-being. In her Instagram post, Marine wrote, "Rassurez-vous, tout va bien ! J’ai vu vos inquiétudes sur le concert de vendredi (ma main qui tient le micro tremble souvent sur scène parce que je suis stressée haha)." She attributed her hand tremors to the high-pressure environment of performing live.
Alongside her health reassurances, Marine also expressed her support for her fellow contestant, Ebony, who recently faced racist comments while performing. During a concert in Lille, a member of the audience engaged in unsavory behavior directed toward Ebony, which Marine condemned. Acknowledging Ebony’s struggle, Marine stated, "Merci pour le soutien que vous avez apporté à Ebony !" demonstrating her solidarity against the prejudice faced by her friend.
Marine’s remarks highlight the challenge of being in the public eye, particularly for young artists navigating the competitive landscape of the music industry. Since winning the Star Academy, Marine has not slowed down; she released her first single, "Ma Faute," which was certified gold and has garnered over 1.5 million views on YouTube. The track reflects her rapid ascent to fame, illustrating both the pressures of success and the artistry she has been developing.
As Marine continues on her tour, the pace has indeed proven to be demanding. She pointed out the intensity of balancing concert performances with studio time, stating, "C'est vrai que le rythme est intense entre les concerts et le studio, pas de place au repos pour l’instant, mais j’adore ce que je fais et tout se passe bien. Je n'ai pas à me plaindre, c'est super." Her passion for her work is evident, though it comes with an emotional and physical toll that has left her fans concerned.
Marine's health concerns underscore a larger issue that many artists face when dealing with anxiety and public performance. Many fans are often oblivious to the stress and commitment required behind the scenes. Following Marine's transparent communication about her hand tremors, her fan base expressed relief and continued support, rallying around her and showing understanding of the pressure she endures.
Furthermore, Marine's commitment to standing up against racism illustrates the values she embodies both as an artist and a public figure. Following the incident involving Ebony, Marine firmly stated on Instagram, "La prochaine fois que je vois un acte haineux ou raciste, je saute dans la fosse." This declaration not only reaffirms her friendship with Ebony but also positions her as an advocate for equality and respect in the entertainment industry.
Marine and her fellow artists are being supported by the larger community, including condemnations from participating networks like TF1, which emphasized their disapproval of any hateful conduct at performances. The message is clear: every artist deserves a safe space to express themselves without facing discrimination or harassment.
In an industry where scrutiny is commonplace, Marine Delplace exemplifies both the triumphs and tribulations young artists face. Her journey thus far serves as a reminder of the subjective pressures surrounding fame, the significance of support networks, and the importance of speaking out against injustice, ensuring that her voice resonates beyond just her music.
As the tour continues, Marine looks forward to connecting with her fans, eager to share more of her evolving artistry and personal experiences. With a bright future ahead, she is determined to embrace the challenges and enjoy the journey, all while advocating for herself and her friends, like Ebony.
