Friday, December 9, Damien Thévenot received Patrick Hernandez on the occasion of the “Stars 80 Encore” tour, which will take place at the Accor Hotel Arena on December 17. The opportunity for the singer to come back to the global success of his hit “Born to be alive”, but also to an old urban legend that closely links him to one of the biggest stars in the world of music. “You are often associated with Madonna, they say she was your dancer, is that true or not?“, asked the presenter. “So I’ve been rectifying this story for years“, began Patrick Hernandez.
“In fact I discovered Madonna during an audition in New York that I had organized to find dancers for the American promotion. And in fact she introduced herself, and in view of the originality and the character of the young girl who was 19 at the time and who did not lack character, we decided to put her in our suitcases and bring her back with us to Europe, above all not to make her dance behind me because it was a bit simplistic, he specified. Before continuing:And the project was to make her record a record, something she didn’t want to do at the time because she wanted to do theatre, cinema. After a year she did not agree with the producers she returned to the United States“.”And three years later, I think maybe the idea that I gave her, germinated and she made her first success.“, he concluded.
An essential member of the Stars 80 tour, Patrick Hernandez will therefore be back on stage to the delight of the most nostalgic. He will notably be present alongside Jean-Pierre Mader, Sabrina, or even Emile & Images, at the Dôme de Paris on April 20 and 21, 2023 then at the Accor Arena on December 17, 2023. The last time we met the route of these timeless stars was in May 2019, at the Stade de France.
