Michel Sardou and concerts? It’s over! Last March, the 77-year-old singer ended his new farewell tour in Brest, after two huge concerts at Paris La Défense Arena. At the time of these final dates, he had loudly proclaimed to the Parisian that he would no longer go on stage: ” Singing and theatre are over. Seriously. This time, I’m sticking to it. Before I sing again, I’ll really have to extend them… I’m too expensive. (…) On March 30, I’m on vacation, retired. Does that surprise you? Me too ” However, the inimitable artist left doubts hanging during the penultimate in Clermont-Ferrand: ” Normally, this is my last date, here in Clermont-Ferrand. But some people think: “He’ll get bored, he’ll be fed up with the south”. And… so let’s say that this is my last, my farewell for… 2024 “Since then, the public has been able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the concerts with the screening of the film in cinemas before the release of the live album “Je me souviens d’un adieu”, which has since sold 25,000 copies.

“Get back on stage, yes!”
And it seems that he is itching to return to the stage! Invited at the end of August on the show “Pascal Praud et vous” on Europe 1Michel Sardou revealed to the star host of “L’heure des pros” that he is considering a return to the stage soon: ” In song, no. But back on stage, yes! But not singing… ” Instead, the singer of “The Lakes of Connemara” would like to return to the stage for a play: ” Right now, with Richard Caillat [un producteur de spectacles, ndlr]we have several proposals, several scenarios for plays. [Ce sera] for 2025. I received some parts, there are two or three that interest me… ».
And he already has an idea of the actress he would like to play opposite: ” I would like to play with Fanny Ardant, we will see if it is possible, Richard Caillat is taking care of it. That’s where we are at the moment, we have some interesting things “However, Michel Sardou is not necessarily ready to sing his hits “Je vais t’aimer” or “Être une femme” again because of his advanced age: ” I was dead [après la fin du concert]I couldn’t take it anymore. I did 8 kilometers on the round stage, I can’t take it anymore! ».
