The rest after the ad
Bambou, which will be released on November 7 (Editions XO) his autobiography Step by step in the nightmade an appointment with our colleagues from Parisian at the Beaux-Arts, a charming hotel located near rue Verneuil, very close to Serge Gainsbourg's home (his house is today a museum), of whom she was the last companion. An interview published this Tuesday, November 5 by the daily, in which Caroline Paulus, her real name, who has not been seen in the media “for ages”dwells on his difficult childhood in Lot-et-Garonne, but also on his relationship with the famous and late singer.
This ex-singer and model notably revealed some details on the artist's legacy: “I have neither moral rights nor right of inspection. It is Serge’s four children who share it. I had the moral rights of Lulu (their son, editor's note) when he was little and he logically took it back when he came of age. It's normal, we were not married and Serge had not made a will. He died two weeks before his meeting with his lawyers. I had nothing after his death But I didn’t ask for anything.”
Bambou evokes his son Lulu
She also remembered how much her former companion “adored children”, and particularly her own: “Charlotte, Kate whom he had adoptedLulu… He said that you are not born a dad, but that you become one. He had reached an age where he was more aware of what it was like to be a father. With Lulu, he enjoyed every moment. In the media he talked about Lulu all the time and I told him, 'Don't forget to talk about Charlotte,' because that can be very hurtful.”
Speaking of their son Lulu, who is actually called Lucien (and whom she never thought she would have), he became a musician: “I made him practice his piano for years, he went to study at Berkeley in the United States. The piano was the easiest to learn, unlike school, it was hell. He wanted to have fun there, not work. Whereas music, beating time, dictations of music theory, it was a game. He believed for a long time that I knew how to read a score, because I attended all his lessons and I knew where he was wrong.“
