In the footsteps of Goldman: Pascal Obispo: a revelation that risks saddening his worshipers

Pascal Obispo will retire at 60, next year. The singer suggested to Ciné Télé Revue that he wanted to devote the “second part of his life” to other activities.

Pascal Obispo follows in the footsteps of Jean-Jacques Goldman. Like the French favorite singer, the creator of Mourir Demain does not see himself “in bad shape, limping on stage”.

“You have to know how to decide to leave at some point. I have this moment in mind, as Jean-Jacques Goldman also had it,” he confided to the journalist from the Belgian magazine Ciné Télé Revue.

While his album L’Archipel des sequels will be released on November 15, duets exclusively with female artists, Pascal Obispo is already working on his next opus, scheduled for October 2025. A record which “will perhaps be my last”, announces he, before confirming: “This will be my last year before my retirement. So we have to take advantage of it.”

A retirement at 60, therefore, for the singer-songwriter. However, Pascal Obispo does not intend to cross his fingers. “Before Music, there is life. And life is the most important thing. And apart from music, I have painting, literature, writing. There are plenty of things to do in the second part of life,” he emphasizes.

Painting has been, for fifteen years, the second passion of the musician who now lives in Cap-Ferret. He already exhibited his paintings in Bordeaux last year. While waiting for this possible withdrawal from the musical scene, fans of Pascal Obispo will enjoy The Archipelago of sequels.
