With her musical universe, Chantal Goya marked an entire generation. At 80, the artist continues to amaze his admirers by orchestrating countless concerts all over France. During her shows, young and old take pleasure in singing her essential songs with her. This Friday, March 3, our colleagues from Closer will honor their interview with her husband, the lyricist Jean-Jacques Debout.
The opportunity for him to give news of the star. In this exclusive interview, the latter reveals that his wife recently experienced a terrible misadventure. While she was in Strasbourg to honor a concert, Chantal Goya took the opportunity to meditate in the famous cathedral of the city. But in this sacred place, the interpreter of “Snipe” was the target of a pickpocket.
“Chantal is very religious. In Strasbourg, on January 14, she went to the cathedral in the morning. She lit three candles. While she was praying, a guy stole her wallet, with her credit cards , his papers”, explained Jean-Jacques Debout. But it is badly to know Chantal Goya. Despite this unfortunate incident, the main interested party did not want to be defeated and took pleasure in finding her fans on stage.
“When he’s not there, I bang myself …”: Chantal Goya talks about her differences with her husband Jean-Jacques Debout
“It made the public happy…”
In front of them, the happy mother of two children literally emptied her bag… And her confidences had their little effect. “During the show, she recounted what had just happened to her during the painting featuring the Nickel Feet, asking the three lads if they could find the thief. It made the audience happy!”, confided Jean-Jacques Debout very admiring of the reaction of his half.
For several decades, the lovebirds have been inseparable. It was in 1963 that they met for the first time. At the time, Chantal Goya had just boxed the film “Male Female” with director Jean-Louis Godard. Three years later, the duo united for better or for worse in Nogent-sur-Marne. From their love were born two children: Jean-Paul who flourished in painting and Clarisse who decided to shine in photography. Beautiful careers that are the pride of the couple.
