Sheila’s schedule is particularly busy at the moment: the singer promotes her compilation Best of 60th birthday and is on tour. This Sunday, October 9, 2022, she appeared on the set of Laurent Ruquier and his TV kids to look back on his iconic career. The host asked his guest about his relationships with other yé-yé figures like her, in particular Sylvie Vartan.
If Sheila begins by saying with a big smile that she is very friendly with Françoise Hardy, the interpreter of School is over is more restrained about her links with Sylvie Vartan. What imagine tensions between the two women? Nay, it’s just a combination of circumstances: “We couldn’t get close because she lived in the United States a lot, so really, we never got into it.“Married to Johnny Hallyday, father of her son David, until 1980, Sylvie Vartan then married in 1984 in Los Angeles the American producer Tony Scotti, father of Darina.
Shortly after clearing things up, Sheila enjoyed listening to the video message sent to her by her colleague Sylvie, who calls her by her real first name: “Hello Anne. I imagine you will have a lot of fun singing at the Salle Pleyel, it’s a little gem. Your path has been bordered by so many successes, you have had so many songs that everyone remembers. (…) We were both lucky enough to experience a magical period in our early days, a period of red and gold where everything was allowed, where we dared to do everything. It was truly a unique moment. I know tonight your audience will be there and your heart will go ‘bang bang‘”.
Two icons of French song who exchange pretty words, that’s what delights the set of Laurent Ruquier’s show! At 77, the mother of the late Ludovic born from his relationship with Ringo and grandmother of Tara Rose continues to shine on stage and face life, with its share of happiness and trials.
