In 2019, the fire at Notre-Dame de Paris moved the whole world. After five years of work, the cathedral is preparing to once again open its doors to the general public.
Stéphane Bern, master of ceremonies of the opening concert, announced the arrival of the famous singer Paul McCartney. But this information was quickly denied.
Will Paul McCartney be present for the reopening of Notre-Dame?
Well no, the former Beatles will not ultimately sing during the Notre-Dame reopening concert. Stéphane Bern had nevertheless announced it on television. But Jackie Lombard, the French producer of the singer's concerts, immediately wanted to deny.
“Paul McCartney has received an invitation. It's a great honor for him. The production denies live participation. There's no recording planned either.”she told BFMTV. “There have been a lot of rumors about it due to the fact that his two Paris concerts fall in the same week, but he is on tour and must leave quickly“she adds.
Stéphane Bern's big blunder
Indeed, the Parisians had reason to hope Paul McCartney's venue. He will perform at the Paris La Défense Arena on December 4 and 5, as part of his world tour, Got Back. Highly anticipated concerts which could foreshadow a little detour to Notre-Dameduring the reopening scheduled for December 7.
Guest on Sunday 1st, 2024 in C Mediaon France 5, Stéphane Bern had also confirmed the presence of the 82-year-old singer. The presenter of History Secrets even went so far as to say that Paul McCartney was going to perform Imaginethe song by John Lennon. In fact, Stéphane Bern would have relied on a dated driver project and therefore not updated.
Stéphane Bern returns to these remarks
On his X account, Stéphane Bern wanted to explain himself. “I got carried away by my enthusiasm. Nothing is confirmed for Sir McCartney but I pray for this every day!“he wrote. However, there is very little chance that the British singer will be able to make himself available.
Rest assured because if Paul McCartney will not be present, other very talented artists will perform during the Notre-Dame reopening concert. For example, we will find Vianny and Clara Lucianithe two headliners, but also DJ Michael Canitrot and many musicians.
