And that star is none other than… Sheila! This Saturday, September 17, 2022, the 77-year-old singer was the guest of the show You watch TV by the duo Eric Dussart and Jade on RTL. The performer of the title spacer was questioned about the Enfoirés troupe, of which she has never been a part since the first tour in 1989. And the least we can say is that Sheila is not the type of tongue-in-cheek.
It took a turn that I don’t like
Yet at the base, Sheila maintained good relations with Coluche, the creator of Restos du Coeur before his death in June 1986, as she made it known at the microphone of RTL : “I knew Coluche well. I sang with him Gondolas in Venice on another radio. I have many memories of Coluche. It wasn’t offered to me, after that I don’t care, I don’t care because it took a turn that I don’t like. And then it’s a clan. We see it. It’s not hard to see. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t prevent me from living. I just think it’s weird compared to the story.“Questioned about a possible participation in the Enfoirés troupe, the singer, who does not find herself in the new generation of artists, did not mince her words: “Today, I will no longer go (…) It is a fact. You have to know, at some point, to say things and put them flat.” That has the merit of being clear.
If a participation of Sheila in Enfoirés is not relevant, the singer does not abandon the stage. Indeed, on the occasion of her 60-year career, Sheila will begin a tour in Forges-les-Eaux (Seine-Maritime) from Saturday, October 22. She will sing among other songs from her latest album Come from elsewhere released in 2021 which notably contains the song pacing horse in tribute to his son Ludovic who died in July 2017 following a cocaine overdose at the age of 42.
