A new Christmas without her… Etienne Daho faced with a difficult absence as the holidays approach

Koh Lanta, Les Marseillais but also Married at First Looks… Louise Martin is a televore who tries, in her spare time, to remake the cakes she admires in front of the Best Pastry Chef… but she is not likely to win the blue apron! Social networks have no secrets for her, the latest scoops, the latest shows, she knows them all.

In recent years, Étienne Daho has suffered many losses. His mother, his sister, the singer Dani… The famous pop dandy was not spared. However, he indicated, Sunday December 1, 2024, in the columns of “La Tribune du Dimanche”, how much he was looking forward to celebrating Christmas despite the absence of these loved ones.

A new Christmas without her… Etienne Daho faced with a difficult absence as the holidays approach

The rest after the ad

Étienne Daho is an essential voice of French song. Weekend in Rome, The first day (of the rest of your life) or Like a boomeranghis unforgettable duet with the singer Dani, marked the history of French pop. We all (or almost) have a melancholic memory, lulled by a song by the famous dandy. Because he knows melancholy, Etienne Daho. In his texts and in his private life, too. He demonstrated this once again in an interview he gave to The Sunday Tribune on Sunday December 1, 2024.

Étienne Daho spoke in the columns of the Sunday newspaper as he rarely does, in particular about the vagueness in his soul that he feels a few weeks before Christmas since the disappearance of his mother. “This year, I'm going to celebrate it in , without my mother for the second year in a row, he confided to the weekly, which asked him about the end-of-year celebrations. My second Christmas as an orphan. But we learn to live with those who are absent. It must be said that the author and performer has experienced several bereavements in recent years. I have lost many loved ones, continues Étienne Daho. Philippe Pascal and Frank Darcel de Marquis de Sade, Jeanne Moreau, Jane Birkin, Dani, my sister…”

I sometimes pray before going on stage

If the last few years have been particularly trying for the famous French singer, Etienne Daho says he has nevertheless found a way to calm down a little when life becomes too difficult. It is in religion that he finds refuge. “I am quite religious, continues Etienne Daho, in the columns of The Sunday Tribune. I sometimes pray, especially before going on stage, and I would love to sing in a church. It's an intimate matter, but I have the feeling that all these people I loved continue to live alongside me.”

Moreover, Étienne Daho is particularly attached to the spirit of Christmas. The illuminations on the avenues, the preparation of meals, the gifts, the Christmas songs… All this, the interpreter of Duel in the sun is particularly sensitive to it. Christmas, “I’m looking forward to it”he assures the newspaper. Patience, it’s in about twenty days, Étienne…
