It’s only January and it’s already one of the surprises of the year: on the stage of the Accor Arena in Paris this Saturday, January 11, Pascal Obispo indicated several times that he wanted to stop, considering himself ” too old.”
“If I exist, it’s because I’m a fan” : for Pascal Obispo aficionados, the party was complete this Saturday, January 11 at the Accor Arena (formerly Paris-Bercy). All the conditions were there to make 2025 “their vintage, their most beautiful year”, with the singer celebrating his 30th career, at the same time as his 60th birthday (which he had on January 8). For this, he had invited many people from his address book, and it is an understatement to say that he is well stocked…
A cake made of 1500 cannelés (Pascal Obispo is the son of a former Girondins de Bordeaux player), Zazie for Zen et The best enemiesDavid Hallyday to resume Light the fire by Johnny, Christophe Maé for And one day, a womanand Axel Bauer for From a Hail Mary : in addition to all the hits in the singer’s repertoire (Vintage, Knowing how to love et Lucie We were even played back to back), there were many surprises. Including one a little worse than the others: on numerous occasions, as we have seen I have funpresent at the Accord Arena, Pascal Obispo announced the end of his career, arguing that he was “too old”and even breaking into a joke dedicated to Nagui, also present:
-“Maybe the only thing I’ll keep doing is Taratata.”
End of career or indefinite break?
Whatever the reforms, Pascal Obispo does not seem decided to wait until 64 to take a well-deserved rest. He has already announced on several occasions that he wants to take a break, of indefinite duration, at the end of his current tour, ending in Monaco on… April 1st. Has the singer already started a giant April Fool’s joke? In an interview given earlier to BFMTV, he does not talk about retirement, but about different occupations, in particular devoting himself to his own streaming platform (Obispo All Access), but also… painting.
So, long break or real retirement at 60? The answer will come in the coming weeks, but Obispo fans must be wondering now: “If he had to stop tomorrow, what more would we do? What would we do less?”.
