Ceca Sick After Berlin, Still Tapes Zvezde Granda
The singer arrived at Kosutnjak in a short dress and tall boots, and told reporters she is not feeling better, but she is not giving in.
Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic arrived at Kosutnjak on October 5 to tape a new episode of Zvezde Granda, battling a cold after a weekend in Berlin, where she sang for about 5,000 people. She told reporters outside the studio that she is recovering, but that nothing is being canceled.
How did Ceca look, and what did she say about her health?
She showed up in a short dress and tall boots, with her hair worn straight and a fringe. Reporters asked whether she was feeling any better, and her answer was brief.
Well, no, I just don’t give in. I have to work, what else can I do.
Asked what her routine looks like right now, the singer smiled and listed what her days are made of at the moment.
“All kinds of things get done. Medicine gets mixed, nose drops get sprayed,” Ceca said.
Asked how the Berlin show went, she was even briefer: “You saw it, it was phenomenal.”
Why did she not get to watch her son-in-law’s match?
Reporters also wanted to know whether, among her obligations, she had managed to follow the Serbia national team game in which her son-in-law, footballer Nemanja Gudelj, played. Ceca answered with a laugh:
“I apologize, how could I manage everything? I may seem like a superwoman, but I am not.”
In its article on Dragana Mirkovic, Informer carries another statement from her in this period. Asked about a possible appearance by a colleague with whom she had an awkward encounter in the RTS building a few years ago, Ceca said briefly: “It’s not up to me, the production decides. It’s just work, show business.”
What did Ceca receive in Berlin?
The Berlin concert brought two honors. The hall’s management presented her with a commemorative plaque bearing the hall’s logo, her name and the date of the concert. The plaque is one of a kind and made from a piece of the Berlin Wall, and according to the hall, that is a tradition for every performer who fills the venue.
Every artist who performs at Uber Eats Music Hall or the neighboring Uber Arena becomes part of a global environmental project called Fame Forest. In honor of Ceca’s concert, a tree of her own will be planted in that “forest of fame.” After the concert, the singer described it in a statement like this:
This was truly my night! I received this prestigious award, they put me side by side with famous international performers who played here and had the chance to fill this beautiful hall, not a small one at all. Then I got my own tree in Berlin as well. I was joking a little when I gave the statement that one day, when I come back to Berlin, that tree will probably have grown, and I’ll find my shade under the “Ceca” tree.
We have reported earlier that the singer was ill at the Berlin concert as well.
