This Tuesday, November 12, Gilbert Montagné was invited to the set of At Jordan's on C8. The singer revealed why he never joined the Enfoirés.
An invitation he is still waiting for. Gilbert Montagné has become over the years a true figure of French song thanks to his hits such as Under the sunlight of the tropics or even We're going to love each other. But the singer who is recovering from a bad fall is back with a completely different register with We sing! Let's dance!an album of nursery rhymes. He came to talk about this new project on the set of Jordan de Luxe this Tuesday, November 12 and he took the opportunity to share some secrets about his career.
Gilbert Montagné explains why he never joined the Enfoirés
Although he often goes on stage to sing his biggest hits in front of his fans, Nikole's companion has never been part of the famous Enfoirés troupe. And there is a reason for that. “I was never invited. But I don't say that with resentment, it doesn't matter, but I've never been invited, no“, he confided. However, the singer would not have refused to join the troupe which works for Les Restos du Coeur, but he is not offended not to have been invited. “I don't really care, but if they had invited me, I would have come. […] When I'm invited, if I feel like it, I come, but I'm not disappointed not to have been invited at all.”he added. A rather surprising reason, because Gilbert Montagné's hits are covered by many artists.
