Out of sight, out of mind? Not for Jean-Jacques Goldman fans. While the latter has not released records for many more years than the last time he went on stage, the artist who celebrated his 73rd birthday in October does not seem to be considering reconnecting with his audience for the moment. At least not officially and even less with great fanfare through studio recording or event touring. The only major project that we know of at the moment and that Paris Match mentions in its edition of this Wednesday, November 13: working on two of the titles which will make up Céline Dion's next album, which is scheduled for release in September 2025.
In the meantime, Jean-Jacques Goldman continues to lead a peaceful life on the other side of the Channel. Based in London since 2016 with his wife Nathalie (mother of his daughters Maya (2004), Kimi (2005) and Rose (2007), the author and composer bathes in total anonymity and enjoys the tranquility to which he has not really had the right since his explosion in France, a long, long time ago. So his peaceful daily life under the British grayness, And. in London, no fuss for him.
Jean-Jacques Goldman, true Mr. Everyman
It is not because Jean-Jacques Goldman has received large sums of money for his multiple musical collaborations and his successful albums that he spends it lavishly. Showing off, very little for him, Nathalie and Rose (17 years old), their last one still a minor who still lives with them. To travel from the airport to home, no expensive taxi but an economical-green shuttle for less than 7 pounds (approximately 8.50 euros) per person. A means of transport in his image, he who has never aspired to a life in the spotlight.
Jean-Jacques Goldman kept the promise he made to himself in 2002: “He wanted to accompany his young children [il est aussi le papa de la controversée Caroline (1975), Michael (1979) et Nina (1985) dont la mère est Catherine Morlet, ndlr] until they reached the age of majority and did not intend to deviate from its principle. Rose, not yet an adult, happy in the relative anonymity he enjoys in London, remains faithful to his rule” tell Paris Match. Alone “madness” (a very big word) for the singer: the return trips to Marseille where he has had a house for around twenty years. Where despite the long absences, Jean-Jacques Goldman will always shine brighter than the sun.
