Lara Fabian has spoken out on participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. She did so during an interview she had with OGAE Italy regarding her participation in the 2015 Sanremo Festival.

On the first night, Lara Fabian finished in the bottom four, with reports claiming she finished ninth out of ten acts. It seems miracles must be worked in order for Lara Fabian to even get the chance to officially turn down Eurovision…
