A figure of French song is preparing to leave the front of the stage.

The singer is reportedly preparing a project for October 2025. « This may be my last album. This will be my last year before retirement. So you have to take advantage of it »declared the 59-year-old singer.
Titled The Archipelago of aftereffects, This year’s album was designed in collaboration with many French artists such as Élodie Frégé, Anne Sila, Zazie and Nolwenn Leroy. A song from the album alongside Carla Bruni has already been published on her YouTube channel on October 28.

“There are plenty of things to do in the second half of life”
For someone who was forced to cancel a series of concerts last summer, this decision seems to be a logical progression: « But everyone retires at some point, so it’s going to have to happen », explains the artist, before justifying his choice: « I don’t see myself 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. »
The singer already seems to be delighted to be able to devote himself to other passions: « 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 a second part of life »he clarified. Pascal Obispo, however, does not rule out continuing his work from home: “ I could continue to make music, but just at home, at home. »
