Seeing the images, let’s admit it, we feared the worst for Gilbert Montagé. While performing Saturday evening in Saint-Pathus, Seine-et-Marne, and performing the famous hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houtston, the singer fell into the two-meter-deep pit .
This Monday morning, Gilbert Montagné, 72, wanted to reassure his fans. In a video posted on his Instagram account, he appears in great shape. He explains what led to this frightening fall. “There is a song that I do when I feel it, a song by Whitney Houston, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, and in those cases I call a young girl in the audience to come up and dance with me. A little Rachel came, sweet as anything. We danced and raved on stage. And then I tell him, ‘Take me back to the piano.’ She probably didn’t hear me.”

The singer clears his young one-night scene partner of what happened next. “It’s absolutely not his fault. I fell two meters. It could have been very serious. After a minute, I wanted to go back on stage. I did the rest of my show with great energy thanks to my audience and my musicians who were in tears.”

Everything is going well for Gilbert Montagné who is a little “angry” with the person who filmed the scene and broadcast it on social networks. “What I don’t understand is that someone filmed the fall but not the moment when I got back on stage. I would have liked it because that’s my victory.”
And the singer concludes: “Can’t wait for the next show. It’s next Sunday for the Pérouges festivals, not far from Lyon. Yeaaaah man, we’re going to give, we’re going to give.”
