un plongeon dans une piscine. Il heurte le fond du bassin, dont l'eau n'est pas assez profonde, et se déplace les vertèbres. Bien qu'on lui annonce qu'il restera probablement paralysé à vie, il retrouve peu à peu l'usage de ses jambes après une année de rééducation. Quand il se lance dans une carrière d'auteur-chanteur-slameur, en 2003, c'est en référence aux séquelles de cet accident... On connaît l'immense succès qui suit : trois albums plébiscités par le public et la critique, une distinction de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, qui récompense la qualité de sa plume, toujours subtile et surprenante... Dans son livre, où il se fait pour la première fois auteur d'un récit en prose, il raconte, avec humour, dérision et beaucoup d'émotion, les douze mois passés en centre de rééducation et relate les aventures tragiques mais aussi cocasses vécues par lui et ses colocataires d'infortune.
