What happens to Desireless? No one has forgotten his legendary hit “Voyage, voyage” which, when it was released in 1986, was a hit throughout Europe and continues to make entire generations dance. As proof, the title has 208 million streaming streams on Spotify and notably punctuated the Cannes award-winning film “Compartment N°6” in 2021. Except that the singer, now 71 years old, no longer wants to hear talk about Music and even retired, away from the spotlight, a few years ago. “ It’s not the few albums I produce that nourish me. I survive by singing “Voyage, Voyage” in my concerts. If I were the author and composer, I would be very rich. But I’m just the interpreter » she explained in 2018. Since then, Claudie Fritsch, her real name, has remained very silent and it is through her best friend, the singer Stone, that we know a little more about her daily life.

“As we get older…”
Guest of the show “Chez Jordan” on C8, the interpreter of the emblematic “Need nothing, want you” delivered some news from her “ very good friend » : « She’s fine, she doesn’t want to go back to work. Claudie is in her campaign, in her own things… “. Above all, the singer of “Voyage, voyage” does not seem to be in the best of form: “ She has a little trouble walking. When you get older, sometimes you have to lose weight. Weight plays a big role in all that… But she’s a wonderful woman, she has incredible talent. And it’s love! “. So why did Desireless decide to stop everything a few years ago? “ I think after a while she got tired of it. She had fallen during a tour. On the way to the hotel, she really hurt herself and opened her mouth. She was exhausted with fatigue. She couldn’t take it anymore and the job is not easy » attests Stone, also well placed to know: “ You have to have a mind of steel. If she had other criteria that pleased her better than touring and singing, she left for new criteria ».
Last year on the same show, Stone already talked about her friend Desireless and her desire to stop everything: “ She cut everything off, she got really fed up. She is an artist who is missing in France. She doesn’t want to hear about this job anymore “. And already mentioned his health problems: “ She has trouble walking because she had hip surgery and it didn’t go well. Sometimes operations don’t work well. Maybe she doesn’t want to have another operation either! But I think she was fed up ».
