this curious prescription made by his doctor

Alain Souchon with his two sons Pierre and Ours.

When do you become a legend of French song? To tell the truth, we don't really have the answer to this question, but we imagine thatAlain Souchon and his career can help us answer: 80 years, including nearly 60 years spent in Music, 10 million albums sold, around ten Victoires de la Musique. We can call him a legend without going too far! Even if, at his age, the singer is obliged to pay attention to his health, he was lucky to have a doctor who prescribed a remedy like no other…

Music, a fountain of youth?

Alain Souchon was indeed guest in the show “En Aparté” on Canal + on January 21. Obviously, the singer was questioned about what pushed him to go back on stage, with his sons, since he is currently on tour with them throughout France. The artist then responds, not without humor, that it was his doctor who encouraged him to embark on this adventure.

I felt a little sluggish, not in great spiritsbut it can happen and it does. […] He said to me: 'IThere's only one thing to do: go on tour with your children'. He marked it, instead of saying: 'you have to take this in the evening', then he said: 'go on tour with your two guys'.

Probably the best and most surprising prescription ever written by a doctor since the creation of medicine! But it must be said that the health professional was right: Alain Souchon had obviously not felt so fit for a long time. His two sons, Ours and Pierre, are absolutely delighted to be able to share these moments with their dad, who remains more than ever a true enthusiast of music and the stage:

It's true that, when you had the life he had, to be on the move all the time, in projects constantly… When everything stops suddenly, you can quickly have a little general softening […] We see how as soon as he's in his songs, it's crazy how it gets him back into shape !

We therefore hope that Alain Souchon will continue to flourish on stage with his sons for as long as possible!
