Eddy Mitchell is one of the latest eminent members who came to light during the famous period of the 60s. Now 82 years old, his passion for music remains intact. Johnny Hallyday's great friend has indeed decided to go out Friendsson 40ᵉ album. In addition to this new record, the rocker also published his autobiography simply called Autobiography.
The rocker was last night's guest on Seven to Eight. And he was the main character in Audrey Crespo-Mara's famous interview. The opportunity for the singer to open up like rarely. He returned to his journey and his recent health concerns. Claude Moine, his real name, has, in fact, lived the life of a rockstar with all the excesses that this entails. At 82, it was time to put the foot on the brake a little, much to his regret.
Eddy Mitchell recovering from pneumonia
From the outset, Audrey Crespo-Mara set the framework for the interview by announcing that it would should have taken place three weeks ago. Unfortunately, Eddy Mitchell was ill at the time. Indeed, Johnny Hallyday's best friend has experienced some health problems recently. In addition to the alcohol he consumed excessively, he was also a heavy smoker. A double addiction for which he is unfortunately paying the bill today.
“It’s going slowly. I had pneumonia, that's it. I've been smoking since I was 14. but I stopped a month ago ». A stop which was made not without the insistence of doctors. “They say you shouldn't smoke, you shouldn't drink, you shouldn't eat fatty foods, don't give a damn ». Restrictions that he has by his own admission, a little difficult to follow all the same. “We follow more or less”.
His epitaph is already ready
The interviews conducted by Audrey Crespo-Mara are often poignant. The guests manage to indulge like never before. This is how Eddy Mitchell also approached the central role of Murielle, the woman of his life. She was his balance, she made him keep his feet on the ground even though he spent a large part of his life on tour. She also allowed him to treat your gambling addiction. His wife actually threatened to leave him if he didn't stop. The choice was quickly made by his own admission.
The singer is also aware that the end is closer than the beginning. Very pragmatic, he also revealed that he had already reserved a cellar “facing the sea” at the Saint-Tropez cemetery. “It’s a very pretty cemetery” he claimed. « I have quite a few friends who are buried there–bas, so we can chat and play cards”. Before concluding not without a touch of humor on his epitaph “Do not disturb”.
