The final concert of Michel Sardou’s career was held last March at La Défense Arena. Titled I remember a goodbyeit was filmed and will be broadcast from 9:10 p.m. this Friday, December 13 on M6. On this occasion, the singer confided in Nathalie Renoux in The 12.45. He discussed many topics such as feminism, for example. “Feminist organizations have made men and women face to face instead of together. I find relationships difficult now, awkward. I imagine the 20 year old now going flirting on Saturday night, it’s hard! It’s harder than before“he regretted. Then to remember: “In my time, it was a paradise! Women have won a lot. Every day, there’s a guy accused of harassing, having this, that, lawsuits everywhere… It bothers me a little. But on the other hand, women must also be protected, so I don’t have a strong opinion.”.
Michel Sardou also spoke about his friendship with Johnny Hallyday and their rivalry. Their relationship was one of the most emblematic of the French music scene. Icons of song, they met in the 1960s and shared many strong moments, private but also on stage. Facing Nathalie Renoux, he also confided that there are several duets that have marked him but it is the one with Johnny when they sang together on stage, The desire to want which left him with a funny memory.“There were several. With Johnny, I sang The desire to wantand that’s where there was a competition to piss the furthest because Johnny always wanted to piss the furthest.”he first said with a smile on his lips. The journalist then asked him if he hadn’t let himself be fooled, and the artist replied: “No, I even sang higher than him”. One might have thought that it was the idol of young people who would have won the duel, Michel Sardou says the opposite.“He doesn’t sing, he sings loudly. Finally, he also sings, but he forces it and he sings with his throat. You have to sing with everything except your throat, sing with your stomach.”he concluded.
Michel Sardou offers a political analysis
The interpreter of Connemara Lakes took advantage of this short interview on M6 to offer an analysis of the current political situation. “France today is… I preferred mine! As always, we prefer our youth! When we say: ‘it was better before’, that’s bullshit! Because in fact, it was our youth that was better before. But here… I’m a little lost. I don’t know what I would write. The messy side, perhaps, would please me. (…) We are the ones who wanted that, but we have been like that since Julius Caesar. If he returned to Gaulle so easily, it was because they couldn’t pry each other! So, what do we have today?… We don’t have Caesar!”he said without interruption to Nathalie Renoux.
