Passionate journalist, for more than 10 years, I have been carrying out investigations, portraits, reports or interviews.
Nearly forty years after the death of Coluche in a motorcycle accident, Patrick Sébastien returns to the disappearance of his comedian friend and surprises more than one by making more than disturbing revelations about the drama which will leave France in the 80s an orphan of the one who made her laugh so much behind her red nose.
Coluche's last moments, a famous friend has another theory about his unexpected departure…
The rest after the ad
Received on Saturday November 2, 2024 in We're doing TV again on RTL to promote his latest book – The Carnival of the Ambitious (Xo Editions) – Patrick Sébastien returned to the death of one of his greatest friends in the 80s: Coluche. Disappeared in a tragic motorcycle accident on June 19, 1986the comedian who liked to wear a clown's nose left France orphaned and sad. But according to Patrick Sébastien, the motorcycle accident was not one! Straightforward, the creator of the Largest Cabaret in the World evokes suicide more than an accident. “It’s a version that will annoy a lot of people. I’m just saying nothing. I tell myself that at that moment, he’s unhappy” underlines Patrick Sébastien at the microphone of Eric Dussart and Jade.
Looking serious, Patrick Sébastien adds: “Besides, [Claude] Berri used it very well in Tchao Pantin to look deep into the eyes. Il [Coluche] was in cam. The breakup with Véronique [sa dernière femme], it wasn't easy. His house had been burned down in Guadeloupe. Maybe a push from the handlebars, like that. [Patrick] Dewaere, his friend, had committed suicide some time before. (…) I don't believe in political conspiracy at all. There was the cam. I think he was coming off heroin at the time. I think Dewaere got a little upset over that.” For Patrick Sébastien, so much cumulative negative could explain a fatal action for Coluche.
Patrick Sébastien believes that Coluche “was surrounded by people who were not real friends”
Close to Coluche since the 70s, Patrick Sébastien had time to see his friend get lost in endless nights, flirting with more or less illicit substances and sink into infinite solitude despite a house full of one-night stands. “He was surrounded by people who were not real friendshighlights the host. Among the people around him, there were some very sincere ones. As for [Gérard] Lanvinfor whom I have infinite respect, that was someone close to me. It was sincere. One day, Coluche said this sentence to me: 'I don't have any friends so I make them'. Did he tell me because he wasn’t feeling well that night?” The question remains asked and continues to divide on social networks since the broadcast of this interview in We're doing TV again on RTL airwaves.
