Last November, Konbini flew to Hong Kong to spend 48 hours with Angèle, who was there to perform a concert during theafter show from the Chanel show. The French label paraded a replica of its 24/25 Cruise collection, presented earlier in the year in Marseille, while Angèle assumed her role as muse, which she has been taking on since 2020. During our getaway, the Belgian superstar spoke about the very first concert of her life, namely that of the Pussycat Dolls, which she attended in 2006, at the age of 12, in the den of the Brussels hall of Forest National.
If learning that Angèle is a fan of Nicole Scherzinger’s band makes us smile, it is above all the identity of the artist who performed the first part of the show which surprised us. “I saw Rihanna opening for the Pussycat Dolls”Angèle tells us. Hard to believe, but it was indeed one of the current queens of pop who was the opening act on the band’s very first European tour. girls bandthe “PCD World Tour”. A few days before Forest National, she played the first part of the evening at the Zénith in Paris.
At the time, Rihanna was only 18 years old and had just released her second album. A Girl Like Me including the titles “SOS” and “Unfaithful”, which would later become essential hits. In 2006, in this Brussels room, “nobody cared”confides Angèle to us, who remembers a show “very, very sexy” and nevertheless specifies: “But I already knew who it was.”. Good taste!
